...Stay away from the mud lights or XTR `s for mud use...
.
I just put the 27" Mud bitches on my Gade, and WOW!! There great and even decent on the packed stuff. I ended up putting the 2" lift as well the tires dont hit before but come very close to the fenders. They are the same as a 28" tire in height. Any more and you'll be buying CV joints, and other expensive parts. Did look at silverbacks but 2 things $$ and they ride rougher.
If you want 100 % mud go Outlaws or silverbacks. The Outlaws ride slightly better, the backs pull better. Both these tires will break things fast if your on the thumb alot.
Next not quite as good in the mud ,however trail pretty good Mudbitchs or Mudzillas`s.
Both wear well and are solid heavy tires.The next step down is Zilla`s or mud bug`s ,trail real good and good in the mud.
Stay away from the mud lights or XTR `s for mud use.
I run the Mudbitchs on my Gade and find them the best overall combo for how i ride
80% mud / 20% trail.
