What's the best ATV mud tires and where to buy?

Postby jebster » Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:03 am

I have a Yamaha Grizzley 660, and the original tires with less than 300 miles (90% field miles). I would like to switch to a good, 6-ply mud tire that is not too rough riding on smoother surfaces.

What's the expert opinion out there on tires and where to buy them?

Thanks

ITP Mud-lite

Not the most aggressive tread pattern, but they get the job done and ride fairly well.

Fixin to put some of those on a Ranger(itp mud lites). Still a good choice for the sise by sides ? We run the gateway outlaw on our foreman. Rough ridin on concrete, but one awesome tire in the field.

For a true mud tire I chose the ITP 589s. The run really well on my Rhino. Those things will flat dig and are a really hard compound for excellent wear! Not the smoothest ride on hard pack but not to bad either.

Mud Lites, Swamp Lites, Mud Bugs, 589's, all of these are an excellent choice for a smooth riding, aggressive tire. I have Mud Lites that are two years old and look brand new, I will also sell them to you if you want them. They are 26x10x12, 26x12x12 Will sell for $250

For an all around tire that does good in mud check out the Highlifter Outlaw MST's. I just got a set and they seem to do everything just as advertised.

I have a '02 Grizz and the ITP589's have done me proud in the mud. Watch out for the sand though, if its real loose the will dig clear to China.

It looks like there are several good mud tires out there that aren't too rough on smoother ground. I'll be checking prices on the internet to get the best buy

Thanks again.

The new ITP mud lites come in radial and are supposed to be a good riding tire.

I have run some really agressive tires w/ stiff walls and it hell on your bike and back. The mud lites are the best of both worlds in my opinion.
