Yeah, but worth every penny. They are pricey. Just throw some fix a flat in all your oems. It will really seal up any leaks you might get over time with those older tires. Good Luck. Let me know if you come up on any problems, maybe we can figure them out together since we have the same model. Peace

Can any auto shop mount these? I doubt the dealer will be fussy on mounting a tire he didn't sell. Turns out, I can get mudlites for the same price as the Buffalos locally, the suzuki dealer sells 25 inch mudlites for $75 installed. This machine takes 24s in the front so he would have to order them in. The only concern I have with the mudlites is they are 6 ply and with only having a 300 I'm wondering if they would suck out what little power I have. I'm going to the dealer to pick up an oil filter so I will compare them with a 2 ply similar to what I have to see how much heavier they are.

I think I've figured it out.

I'm getting mudlites:
The back tires I will get at the local Suzuki dealer, he buys 25x10x12s in bulk and sells them for $75 each installed.
The fronts (24x8x11) I will get at the local Yamaha dealer who sells them for 20% less the price listed in the Motovan catalog plus tax and installation.

I've read in a few places that Mudlites have a soft rubber compound and wear out fast but according to ITPs website they are now making them out of the same rubber that the 589s are made of. I had 589s on my p650 and they held up very well, the only issue I can see is the Mudlites being too heavy for the old 300.

Places to ride... mmmm.. what would you like? A lazy ride from St. John's to Port aux Basques (approx 700 km) on the abandon railway? Thousands of miles of logging roads and skidder roads including old roads that have been bandon for 50 or 60 years? Transmission lines that criss cross the island? More mud holes than you can shake a stick at? There's a little bit of everything to ride and very little private land to worry about.

I have found the Mudlites to be long lasting as anything else. My Brother-in-law mounted mine at the auto tire shop where he works. They may have difficulty with 11" rims, or maybe not, Mini's had 10" rims in the 60's. I went from 4 ply to 6 and did not notice any difference on my 450.
Would love to take my Honda to my parents place. They live right on the Bay of Fundy 5 months out of the year. It's gotta be nice, we live near Richmond, VA! Only a 26 hour drive.

Hey Schickie! I live in Gloucester, less than 1 hour from you. N.F. sounds like an atv enthusiast's dream! Post some pics if you get a chance.

Hi, Pat! I night fish in your town out on the T dock under the Coleman Bridge. Haven't been in a while but it's warming up so I'll be back down soon.
