I just bought 26" ITP Mudlites for my Vinson. Can anyone tell me anything about them? I've had 6 flats on my stock tires over the past 6 months and this last flat put me over the edge. I went straight from the trail to the shop and got some. I've seen these in action in snow and mud and they seem to go well but what about FLATS? Has anyone ever had a flat on these or known anyone that has?

 

Hi. I wanted to get a 6 ply tire when my stockers ( with many plugs wore out ) I chose mudlites due to their nice tread , light weight and the low price for a 6ply. I have had mine for a year and a half and despite some nasty riding have NOT had to place a singel plug in any of them. I am very happy with the durability of my mudlites. I will go with 6ply tiers from now on just for the extra flat protection they offer.

Never had a flat with the mud-lites.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I went through some nasty snow the other day and all I can say it that these tires pull like crazy. If these things hold up like you guys say I do know why I waited so long. These things rule. Only thing I'm questioning now is being able to power slide around corners like before?

 

You wont be powersliding much anymore, be careful the mudlites will just grab you if you arent in wet or snowy conditions.

 

Yeah I kind of guessed that because they don't even slide much in the snow.

 

I haven't had any ~real~ problems sliding the a$$ out. I run 7#'s of air normally.

 

I haven't even checked yet but how much air are you supose to put in the 26inchers?

 

I ran 4-5 psi

 

When riding sand/mud/---praying for snow this year!!!!!----I run 4#'s. On hardpack or sharp rocks I run 7 to help combat flats.
