I have the 26" Mud Bug radial in the 14" size & they feel lighter than the stock tire that came off the bike. They are smooth driving & pretty good it the sloppy going I was surprised at a couple of mud holes I went through they were nasty.

Hey cherokee, what's mudballing?</end quote></div>

mudballing is when you ride through a slick patch, or mud pit, ant the tires dont clean themselves off, the mud just sticks and you have ZERO traction. the mudbugs i have are 12x10x26 front and 12x12x26 rear. the handeling is pretty darn good! and no they do not beat you or vibrate the handlebars at all, honest! the only time iv ever noticed a vibration of "lug knock" is if i push my atv around by hand on the concrete floor at the shop, otherwise you would swear they where bald tires!

most of the time i ride trails and fields, really good handleing. i keep up with a Z400 and a blaster on the trails, we will all go topspeed then whip around trees and tight corners at about 40mph. no slipping around, and unless i floor it the tires wont really tear up my nice yard ether.

i was very surprised with them, for as agressive as they look they are a good all around tire. BTW i also like the bighorns, if i had a lighter trail-only mechine like a recon or griz 350 it would have bighorns

Just a little heads up for you the XTRs are HEAVY and your bike has plenty of power so why not just go with a set of Bighorns as they sound like exactly what you're looking for. They wear like iron, ride great and are actually a very well rounded tire.

Well, U won't have to here about it anymore. Bought the 26" Mud Bug Radial's for my 800.Got a great deal from Motosport for all 4 shipped 270.00. I thought this was a great deal. Now I hope that they are better than my Mudlites.

Thank's everyone for all of your input.

Wow Outback that was an incrediable deal! I may be following suit. Did you get the rims with it too? If so
what kind? Can you send a link of the tire and rims etc?

Cheers,
