Does anybody have Mud Bugs mounted on their quad? How do you like them? Any photographs?

I have a set of 26"x12" on the back and 26"x10" on the front of my 450. I went ahead and got them mounted on ITP chrome and black rims so that I could use my stock tires in the summer, here is one pick

All I can say is that I love em' there a great mud tire and also ride well on hard pack. I hope to find out about how they do in the snow this weekend! The are really light for a 6ply tire also.

That is one mean looking quad there Foreman! Especially with the mud touch up applied nicely. You're making me itch for some tires now dammit!

I really like them.I'm saving up for a set. I need a big, yet light weight tire with good traction.

I'm not sure as to how they compare.... this is the first set of tires like this I have ever bought. To me they look a bit more aggressive the the mudrunners. I know that before I got these I was considering the M.R. but I really liked the design of these (with the side lugs, for the ruts!) When I bought them I paid a little over $600 for the tires and rims. The local bike shop treats me well HighLifter quoted me $780 shipped. I can say that every single person that has rode my quad has be amazed.

Well, I want to mount them on my Sportsman 335. Yes, I know that 26" tires will be a lot for it to pull at times, but hey, that's what low gear is for. They do come in a size for ten inch rims don't they? I hope so. If not, I might have to get some 25" Vampires.

On there web site it looks like they are only offered for a 7x12 rim in 26" and 27" but hey maybe its time for some shiny new rims...
