Default Buckshot Mudder truck tires on a 850 ?

I see them on ebay and I have often thought about this. Is anyone running them? I wonder how heavy they are and if they ruin the ride? I think they would be awesome in a foot or two of fresh snow. Any comments would be interesting

You would need 15" or larger wheels to run these and you would probably have some clearance problems. And yes they are heavy truck tires probably 10 ply Load range E and even aired down they would rattle your eyeballs on rough terrain.

A guy locally bought car rims and tires and mounted them to his Prairie. He does most of his riding on hard surface roads and gravel. Looks odd but I'm told it handles pretty good with street treads.

I've wondered about using truck tires on an ATV since the tire sizes are getting pretty large now. I didn't know how much a weight difference there would be or how they would ride.

Sell your atv and buy a Jeep....then the tires will fit fine.
