has anyone got the mudlite xtr's?

are they pretty good for normal trail riding or are they better for just mud applications?

well you all know how much i love mine for sure. they are excellent all round tire that doesnt ride hard on hard pack trails and go thru mud and snow good. they will dig until they find something solid to grab. they also are great wearing tires. 700 miles and hardly any wear at all.

brutus, i would stick w/ the 26" xtr's if you get them other wise your going to loose alot of power w/ the 450. i even noticed the differnce when i put my stock 26" from the 800 on it which are lighter. just a suggestion.

I love my XTRs. I just went out plowing with them and they work great in the snow, mud and hardpack. They are really stable on the roads at high speed as they're radials.

thanks guys, i like my 26" pxt's but when they wear out (or when the cash flow catches up to my toys) id like to get 27". my friend just bought outlaw mst's and read that the mudlite xtr's puncture easliy and blowout more at higher speeds.

also ive heard that they are really rough on normal trail riding.

can anyone confirm that?

kind of new to the whole aftermarket tire scene so just trying to get some info on it.

thanks for the help

jason

Stendori pretty much addressed your concerns in his last post. And I'm pretty sure he's had his '08 w/XTR's near 70 mph without mention of a blowout, which is something I've never heard of on an ATV tire. As far as puncture resistance, I think that the most you can ask for is 6-ply and deep lugs, which the XTR has both of. Good luck with your decision on tires, you can't go wrong with the XTR, IMO. The TerraCross Radials are very nice, as are the Bighorns.
