So I've got an 04 SP400 with the stock 489's and I am looking at getting ITP Mud Lites XL. I ride on very hilly trails and snow. I went to the local Polaris dealership and the parts guy tried to steer me away form going with these kinds of tires. I say the heck with him, I want them. Now I need to know what size to get.

My stock tires are FR 25 x 8 - 12 and RR 25 x 11 - 10 .
I can only get the ITP Mud Lites XL in FR 25-8-12 (XL) RR 25-10-12 (XL). I plan on getting new wheels with them.

My questions is the rear tire size change going to be an issue?

 

With a new wheel , it will work just fine. But I just heard from my distibuter they were going to release a 25x10x10 if you not in a hurry, it should be out soon.

 

you will have no problems going to a bigger size. you might want to consider the goodyear raw hides if you want to stay w/ the same size. i loved them on my 500 and they went just about everywhere.

 

thanks for all your feedback.

Happy Holidays to all.

 

I just put my new mudlites on yesterday. I ordered the 12x7 ITP delta wheels with them, so I didn't have any problems. The mud lite xl's look like they'll be a good tire.
