WARNING LONG POST!
SHORT VERSION - I like the Mudrunner alot!

LONG VERSION -

I have a set of 26" GY MudRunners on my Sportsman 500. I find they actualy ease the steering effort on hardpack and loamy terrain. They kick butt in the mud and the snow. The quad has no problem spinning this rubber. Making the tires easy to clean with some wheel spin. These tires will get you dirty though, as they throw quite a bit of mud. Not advisable to look back to see your riding buddy's progress when your tires are spinning, cause here's mud in your mouth! I was interested in getting a mud tire as soon as I brought the quad. I looked into Vampires, Super Swampers, Sur-traks, Bear Claws, and the Bi/Tri Claw combo. I ruled out the Bear Claw and Sur-trak because they weren't aggresive enough. The Bi/Tri didn't come in the 26" size. Didn't want 27" cause they were too stressful on the driveline. A met a guy on the trails with Super Swampers and they turned to ***** of mud (couldn't clean the treads with wheel spin) way too quick for my liking. I t was down to the Vamp and the MRs. I had seen the Vamps in action and they were awesome in the mud, but the onwer of the quad said he hated the ride they gave. Then I saw a mud tire shootout articlelisting the weights of these monsters. Then shortly after there was a article ont he MRs. It shined in the tests and wasn't too heavy. So it was the one I went with.

Sorry about the long post.

Excellent Tires, The diffrence in the steering effort was worth the expense. They ride great to

 

The snow performance of Vamps makes the MudRunners an excellent choice. They have performed well on mine since Sept. '98.

 

Mudrunners are the best! Vamps ride is too harsh on anything other than mud..and really.. the Mudrunners do just as well. My next set will be Mudrunners, too.

 

Ya gotta love them mud runners check out those tire tests well worth the money

 

Happy for ya getting the mudrunners. Now I hope ya can keep up with the guy's with the swamper TSL's.
