i agree that my rawhides on my 500 was the best stock tire ive ever seen and it was great in the mud. warning: they are extremly hard on the lawn lol.

Both my 02's came with Titan AT489, don't know if there the same as Carlisle
but they sure look the same. I think they are a great all around tire! they are
good on most everything, I think the lower ply side walls help the ride as they
can give a alittle more & maybe help give better traction in sand too.

my magnum has stock titan at489 like dirtsnow said the low ply gives me more comfy ride over bumps sometimes i see the sidewalls flex giving my srs a more comfy ride but a irs would make it better.i have rode on beachs with it
before but i dont know whats the diff on lauch with stock tire and real mud tires so i have nothing to compare to

i would agree that the titans/carlisles are a real good stock tire and if you dont have any other aftermarket tire to compare them to then you would like them vs alot of other brand stock tires. but once youve got a taste of mudding tires theres no going back.however if you dont do much mudding the keep the stockers.

All -

I am definately SOLD on the
Mudlites. I see the different types
XTR, XL and the XXL. It would appear
that the XXL has the scoop type
tread/lugs making it a more dominate
aggressive Mud tire. Anyone running those?

But STENDORI you are our MENTOR!

I think I will go with XTR's as most people
in these forums have them and highly
recommend them. I will be pricing them
out everywhere in the next weeks ahead,
who knows maybe mamma might let
me buy them with my tax return money? lol

aggressive Mud tire. Anyone running those? lol. you do realize that they are a 30" tire right. you better put a nos,tubro and another 450 engine on to run those. lol. this is just a suggestion, but why dont you keep your stock tires and rims and buy a tire/ rim kit. they look awesom and you can put your stockers back on if you dont like them or if you trade. there a nice addition if you can afford it.

Okay thats it, I'm going to buy the
800................

Mentor/Stendori -

No I didn't realize the size, I didn't look at that
I was reading all the tech specs on the tire/picture.
Believe me I won't push this engine like that, I will
be going 26" probably with the Mudlites XTR,
still curious if anyone is running those XXL's on theirs
any videos/pics anyone?
