MUD BUGS MUD BUGS MUD BUGS.

Great in the mud, great on the trail, don't rattle your brains out on the hard trials, kick ass in the snow. I stud mine for winter and they are great on ice. I run 26x12 all the way around on my BF750. Best all around tire IMO

Aleady had a set. ya when they need to be replaced after 700km not my kind of tire. They were good, but not that good.

Got over 1500 km on mine and still have cups on the treads.

thats probably why. i had 28 bugs. they were a good all around tire, but only got 700km on them and they were toast.

I have Mud Lites, 26", 10's front & 12's back. Love them in the snow. No need to go any higher profile on the Cat as I already have 13" GC front to back... plus I would loose power to the ground.

Anyhow, here's a rear end shot of the Mud Lites on the Kitty.

Today I went looking for tires for my Renegade, 26" mudlights XTR. $630 for all four. Glad I did some shopping, Riverside want $98 to install tires, and same tires at Cars RV & Marine were $10 cheaper but the install was included. Now $100 in my pocket for something else.....

Catzuki... I'm assuming those rims are stock steel units right? I have no need for them as I ditched the old stock tires Thanks anyhow

 

[Bruteskeg]

any one hear try out the new maxxis zilla ??? not mud zilla.
They look like they could be a verry good all around tire.

They look just like the mud cat tires and the mud cats have a deeper lug and are cheap

Do those rims match the same offset dimensions as the stock Cat rims?, front and rear?

Ya they do. They stick out a fair bit on the rear. They add 2inch total width to the quad

 

[leonard]

i think the new zillaz look damn good ..

not that deep with the tread depth tho

Hey Catzuki... if the offset is the same a Cats' stock rims then they cannot add 2 inches width to the stock dimensions? Am I making any sense? What you are saying is the rims you have are an inch deeper offset then stock??? (each rim? two rims make up the 2 inch extra width you refer to right). Please confirm

 

[catzuki]

Ya i was half asleep when i wrote that. So They add about an inch in width on each side, so about 2 inches total.

I haven't seen one mention on this thread about Bear Claws. Are they out of business or what? I have 27 Bear Claws on my 700 KQ and really like them. They work great on hard pack and very well in mud.
