i have had the mudhooks the rancher came with dirt hooks and we talked the dealer into switching out for mud hooks this tire ran very well graged every thing we put it through but 1 time when stuck in a rut that was muddy and wet wouldnt grab but still manged to pull us out with a small shake of the quad.


i seen what big horns can do and i like them

i dont know how the mudlites preform but alot of people buy them so they must be good

my Super Swamper TSL/ATV vampires worked very well and so did the DirtDevils!

I have the 26" dirt devil XT's and I really love them. I had the 25" dirt devils before and loved them so much that I upgraded to the XT's. They have excellent handling caracteristics and corner well. I almost never put my griz into 4 wd because it isn't necessary, even in 18" mud. I don't know about the others but I am really happy with what I have.

now that i read his post and think more the Dirt Devils where better because when on hardpacked mud and gravel it wasnt such a ruff ride like the Vampires are but its almost impossible to get stuck with the vampires but it isint easy to get stuck with a brand new pair of dirt devil Xts either

Of all the tiers mentioned I have only tried the mudlites and dirt devils. I have the mudlites on my foreman and really like them. They were the cheapest 6ply around and the lightest as well . Not a bad combination. I have heard people say they wear out quick. Mine seem to be holding up fine after a year...but i very seldom ride on hardpack surfaces like asphalt.

I hope this helps some.

I have theDirt Devils on my P700 and at first I loved them. But after just a few (hard) miles on them they have no grip left on surfaces like grass or hardpack. I will probably be looking into the Big Horns next.
