does anyone have any pics of the mudlites on their p650? thinking about getting them but would like to see what they'ed look like first. also do you have to offset the front and rear mudlites? my neighbor bought a set of 26-10-12 and 26-12-12 dirt devils for his rubicon and the fronts look normal but the rear they look low profile like a sports car tire. the rears look TOTALLY different. no joke, we measured them. he called rocky mountain atv where he ordered them from and they told him that he should have ordered 27" for the rear. another guy i know bought the vampires and his are the opposite, the fronts look smaller than the rear. why is this?

 

I have some mudlite photos of someone else's 650, on my Prairie 650 Page

The size differences are just manufacturing error. They might have been made right once, but someone changes som settings on the machine and messes the batch up.

Tire pressure has everything to do with tire height.

Tires should be about .7" taller in the rear than the front. This gives them about 2" more rolling distance than the fronts. 2" difference isn't enough to make much drag, and helps to keep steering not too stiff when cornering.

It is commonly know that Dirt devils are among the worst sized (not what they say), however I don't believe everyone knows to get 26 front and 27 rear (I didn't know this).

 

Hey nyroc, I'm honored. Thats my bike on your page with the Mud Lites and the Holeshots.

Rammy, here is a good side shot of how they look also. You can check my sig for more pics of them.

 

Rammy:

Here are some 26" on my P650.

I had them out on Sunday and they are great tires.

 

I was surprised to see that honda's use two different wheel sizes. i believe it's 12 on the front and 11 on the back.

 

thanks for the pics guys. they look awesome, i think i'll go w/ those just not sure what size yet. SgtRock, glad to see a pic of a green p650 w/ silver rims too. i was kinda leary on how cheesy that would look but i think it looks great.

 

Thanks Rammy, I'm really happy with them. The 26" tires are work well for me, but some guys are running 25" and 27" - which I haven't run. Pick what's best for your riding conditions. Unless you need a lot of ground clearance and do majority of deep mud, consider the 26". If you run mostly muddy trails - not deep stuff - consider the 25". I ride a mix of both without much extreme mud, so I went with the 26". They gave me a nice boost in ground clearence with for logs and rocks, without making it too tall. The wheels have a 1" offset, so you retain stability with the added height. Be prepared for a little more stuff splashing back at you as the tires extend beyond the fenders on the c-series.
