I have a 1998 honda fourtrax 4x4. I am wanting to get some new mud tires alot of people say mudlites but i dont think they are that great my friends have them and they are always balling up i had though about gbc dirt devil 2 x/t or goodyear mud runners and kenda executioners if you have any opions id like to hear em

MY brother used to have maxxis mud bug's on his there were really good tires. the Mudlite XL is what he has now and so far they are also really good.

for all out swamping get outlaws, i no for a fact the new 26-29'' mudgear tires are great for swamping a little and all around mudding but still not top dog like outlaws, gators are good for swamp, vampires with the rely deep lugs and no side lug is for thick deep muck, mudbugs are great all arounders and so are mudlites, Mudzilas new style are nice all around but also good for deep holes. oh and Mud*****es are decent for mudholes...... to find the mudgears and Mud***** i no they sell a bunch on ebay. mudgear you can find easy but mud*****es you have to seach ATV Mudtires. i hope this helps a little bit!!!:o :D

highlifter outlaws are the best, if u want a trail/mud tire get the highlifter mst, just dont get a tire to big that u cant turn them over,im sure 26" should be the biggest for a 450, i have 27" on my 500

whiteboy cutom. remember me? exchanging the pics, well outlaws are th best, but for turning them, my 450s forman can turn 29.s on highlifter rims pretty good and i only have a slip on jet kit and stuff, but now i have bought a real snorkit so bye bye home mader! lol, for the person who made this thread i wrote a big list now lets narrow it down what type of mudding do you do?

umm soupy ahh outlaws u would have no doubts then but you could get 28inch vampires with the like 3-4 inch lug

Dont know if you noticed it or not, but he said he was riding a 300, so i dont think a 28inch vampire would go good one it, unless he's planning on doing a 355 or 380 big bore anytime soon, and running it in first gear at that, with the big bore. at 43lbs a piece unmounted thats a bit much.

Vampires are a great tire, and i dont think you would be dissapointed in the, you'll just have to get a small size, or get skinny ones so u can spin them, if you just get the 9.5's. Get 25-26 inch combo. If you go 12.5 in the back, get 24-25 inch combo.

Outlaws are also the other top choice. Probably the better of the two, huge sidewas lugs and probably paddle you a bit more in the real souply stuff. Size recomendations would be the same.

Other than that i dont think any other tire is going to satisfy you, most other tires are really close in camparission to how they perform in mud.

get kenda executioners in the rear and bear claws in the front

SmokeyJhon is definately correct. those tires have sick treads and do great not only in mud and snow but is also a light all terrain tire which is great to have.

last post lol cant get good info off of ppl that run polaris's im not tryin to be mean but thats 800LB's dry weight to a real quad... a honda at 550 dry weight.. so yea umm u might just be better off betting mudbugs or gators just get 25's and you should be fine!
