And I'm really happy with mine. My bud has them on his Bomb 800, and they are really stable at speed so I figured they'd be good on my little 500 and I was right

Hey Caper, both my machines have the stock 489s. I haven't got stuck, YET. My son got stuck once when he didn't start into a mudhole with enough momentum. Other than that, we've climbed granite, over down trees, through headlight deep waterholes, etc. They've done great. I can't wait to wear them out and get the Mudlite XTRs. I've heard nothing but good about them from guys I've talked to out on the trails.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm not impressed


I am going for mudlite xtr's once spring hits
I not trying to compare them to Mudlites or any other after-market brand......Just want to know what riders think of them as offered as a Polaris "STOCK" tire. I know you can up-grade and spend money even before you drive the quad (EX.SCRAMMYTODD..LOL) But for a stock tire I think they are really well!!!...Caper......

they work ok until they are half way wore down and then their not worth anything. on the trailblazer they worked really well for the first 3/8" of tread, but once the square corners rounded off, it was time for the mud lites which worked real good.
