Just wanted to give a headsup to anyone looking for new tires that ITP is now making the mudlite and the xl-including the 30 inch with the 589's long wearing compound. the next shipments that the wholesalers get should start being the new compound. i love my 589's - they wear like steel.

 

are you talking about the new xtr radial mudlite changing to a harder compound?

 

no, the bias ply mudlite and the xl are changing compounds to a much more durable 589xt rubber. this was according to an ad in the newest issue of dirtwheels. itp has a 24 page ad in the issue. i confirmed it with ronnie's-one of the sponsors up top-they are 2 miles from my house. i've bought all of my toys from them.

 

I read the same thing about the longer lasting compound on the mudlights ricknze. That should make them a better tire option.
