Default sliding with mud tires.

my rear tires on my scrammy are pretty bad off. so I want to get some new ones. I like to slide out in corners and occasionally spin donuts. how much harder would this be with a mudtire ? I am thinking something like a mudlight or a dirt dog. I just don't want the lugs to catch real hard and roll me over.


If I will just need to develope a different technique thats cool.

So if you have mud tires and slide through corners on the trails, let me know what tire you have and your methods.

I have Gator tires on my scrambler and they work pretty awsome. I pull off donuts all the time and I haven't rolled it once. They slide around the corners pretty good.

Hi . Any of the more well rounded ( trail and mud ) mud tire's should work well. The mudlites might be a good way to go because they are lighter and priced well too. The only thing is that a mud type might wear down a little quicker if you do a lot of spinning and sliding around on them.

blackwaters are suposed to be a good all around mud/snow/trail tire. if u can find them for cheap go for it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have Gators also. 26" with the deeper lugs. They are definitley harder to break loose than the stockers were, but boy do they throw some **** when they do.
