Is anyone out there running ITP Mudlites on their scrambler and if so, how are they. I am looking to get some better tires than what it came with and haven't seen too many suggestions for the scrammy. I want to be able to get through some mud and wasn't sure about the Hole Shots for that Any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

Mudlites and the Scrambler are a great combo. In fact, when my 489 X/T's wear out, I will probably replace them with Mudlites. But the X/T's have been a very good tire too.

 

I was also looking at those 489 X/T's. You think the Mud lites are a better way to go though? Are you going to a bigger size? or sticking with the 22X11-10 and 23X7-10's. Some one had said those Mudlites wear real fast. any truth to that?

 

I cant really comment on how the mudlites wear, but I know that they are a very popular "all terrain" type tire and that the people that run them seem to be happy with em. I have the stock tire size on mine too. I think that the XT's or the mudlites would a good choice. Both are good traction 6 ply tires. You cant go wrong with either one.

 

cool, thanks for the reply......one last question................................where can I get that dang skull shifter you have. I love it! I also like that seatt cover. But I have a blue ride, not red! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

well............ I got the shifter from Autozone. $15 if I remember right. AND the eyes light up red[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The seat cover is from North American Powersports. $55 plus shipping. You also can choose any color you want, including some carbon fiber looking materials.

 

sweet! did you have to modify that shifter or did it just screw on? I'll stop by there tonight!

 

I run MudLites on my Scrambler and love them. Wear is not much of an issue for my riding style.

 

All I did was remove the old shifter ****. Then I put a little electrical tape on the shifter rod so that the skull would fit a little tighter. Then there is a set screw on the back of the skull that clamps it to the rod. Make sure you put a little loctite on that set screw otherwise it will work loose. Also, the skull detaches fromt the mounting part of it (so you can replace the battery). I had problems with mud and water getting in there, so I put a little silicone around it. Simple change. Also, the shifter **** is the one with red LED eyes and for manual trannies. They have a few different types there

 

Hey BigBadScrambler,

Can you provide a link to the 489X/T's? I looked around and found them in Titans. The site wasn't very good. Was the X/T true size what they claimbed they would be?
