I ran a set of 22in mud lites on one of my old 400s i never really liked them much but came with the quad so i never bothered changing them
And like if your fender gets bent at all they will hit overall i just dont like 22s i run 18s and 20s

maxxis zillas on mine theyre great. they wear fast on the street so avoid it, but theres more than enough grip. my neighbour was hacking away through a ditch on one of our rides, reverse forward over and over it was just terrible to watch him struggle. i dont think my tires spun going through it. his tires are fairly new aswell

Yeah man they work great. Gearing is 13/39. it was too short on stock sized tires. Great for hills and stuff but that's it. These tires balanced out the gearing nicely

Those tires look alot like the Mud lites...I have mud lites 22", they have done me good an are great in snow also...somtimes they are on the quad an somtimes they are on the 3 wheeler....They never come close to my fender. They are light weight tire an I don't change my gearing, although thats not a bad ideal, espicially if your going through deep mud alot.

those are surprisingly light and theyve got a really thick sidewall too so theyre fairly strong. but theyre terrible in snow. i was barely moving when i took the quad for a spin in the deep snow we had a while back it just spun them.

as for the regear, its nice to have, i think stock rear tires are 20 inches tall, these are 22 i believe, so the regear basically makes it feel like stock gearing with the taller tires.

I had some 22in "mud sharks" that came with mine when I bought it, they were really nice nud tires, I got alot of compliments when I rode them.

heres what they looked like this is on a old suzuki quad.
