Has anybody tried these tires on there sportsman? If so how do they work in mud or sand? Likes or Dislikes? Two of my buddys got aftermarket tires on therer atvs one got kenda Bear Claws and the other got Mudlites, i would like something different that works really good to show them up.

 

Come on somebody has had to of ran murunners on there sportsman, I want to stay with the stock tire size is this a problem? Feel free to chime in!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Had 26" mudrunners on my '03 sp600 and just loved them. had them installed on the stock chrome wheels, 26-9-12 fronts didn't rub unless bottoming out, and 26-12-12 rears looked just awesome. wish i would have had them installed on my '05, cause i've already had 2 flat tires in only 600 miles this year, these new radials seem to puncture easily.

 

My friend has a set of 26" on his 99 sporstman 500. That thing goes through mud better than my 700 with rawhides on it. There have been a few times when i get stuck then he seems to go right through it without a problem. They are a heavy tire though, and last i checked we more expensive than some of the other brands out there, but they are a nice tire. They seem to be really puncture resistant also.

 

What size of tires should i get when i replace the stock tires? I would like to keep the stock tire height though?

 

i would run with 26s, the tire size is the same, the lug size is a half inch bigger then 25s

 

Will 26" tires take any of my power away?

 

26s will take away a small amount of power in the deep mud but will give u a minute bit of speed on the top end

all in all u wont notice much of a difference
