Elkbow, great comparrison! BTW, noticed you have the ITP Type 5C wheels. just wondering what the difference is between the 5C and 6C?

for a super mud tire why not the Bi/Tri claws or 27" Outlaws?

the type 6C wheels are lighter than the 5Cs, but if you have a heavy machine like the polaris or jump alot or riding in rocky terrain, I would recommended the 5C wheels since they are built sturdier. if you look at the 5Cs vs the 6Cs, you will see that most of the weight is saved on the 6Cs in the spoke area, thats where you need the reinforcement...because these are aluminum, you need the strength...

As far as the Bi/Tri Claws or Outlaws, those are purely Mud tires, and I need something for all around riding. If you put on one of those tires, especially the Claws, you need to be in the mud all the time as they won't ride nearly as good as 589s or Mudlites when your not in the mud...
