Those look great. One of the things I've come to appreciate is tires like the Silverbacks and ITP Mudlite XTRs is how the lugs wrap around to the sides. I was in a surprisingly (yes, I got surprised to the tune of two sneakers full of cold muddy water) deep mudhole Saturday and was in some ruts underneath the mud. Had to jack the steering back and forth and those side lugs pulled me right out. Love good tires.

i found out just how flimsy the outer cv joints are the other day in snow as i broke both of the front outer's in some deep snow i was pulling my buddies 700 with stock pxt tires out got stopped while pulling him backed up and turned the handelbars to the left touched the throttle bang knew right away what happened so i unhook the rope and drive away and figure well try a different spot to pull him out in 3 wheel drive not my best plan as the right cv snapped next so i ended up diving out in 2 wheel drive and 3 of us pushed his wheeler out i ordered epi outers for about 90 bucks a peice they seem to be working good when i get done with winter expenses i am gonna order gorilla axles i think and hopefully keep the others as spares

for sure they are gonna be hard on stuff but when you go through more in 2 wheel drive than the others can do in 4 wheel drive it makes it well worth it IMO, hard to beat while your playing around, everyone else is watchin and waiting for ya to pull them out love it
