you think I should get the bear Clawa over Mudlites?25x8-12,25x10-12 fit on the stock 03 Rancher Wheels?I can get them for 215 Shipped.Thanks.Im in need of Tires because My poor baby is sitting on rims 

[Ida_Mann]

in my opinion, the Bear Claws are just as good, and they look decent as well,,,,smooth on hardpack and will clean off well in the mud to get beter grip,,,,,I'll try to dig up a pic of my Rubicon with em on there.

Thanks man that will be awesome and make my decision easier

[rubicon500kid]

your stock rear rim is 11" so you have to get a tire for an 11" rim

also dont go for mudlights if this is a mudding atv

mudlights suck  my friend has them on his rancher and he gets stuck every where i have 589's on my rubicon and they are nice but i would go with

mudzillas,outlaws,vamps or my fav  wich is also my next tire   super grip mudb!t(hs  (they look the same as mudzillas but have a larger lug and more side lug  and do alot better in the mud)

what ever you do dont get mudlights lol bearclaws are ok but there is alot better out there (i got them on my atc 110 and they are so so )

mudbugs and gators are ok too

also for ur rancher keep them in 25's or 26's if ur leaving ur bike stock
on my old rancher i ran 27 vamps but had alot of work done to it
good luck hope this helps
also let me know when u take it out to the hump

[rubicon500kid]

here is what
27x10x12 vamps look like on a rancher(the red one )

and then on the green one it has 26" 589s

also both bikes have aftermarket rims




(those are 27" vamps under it some where lol)

here is what they looked like befor we got stuck

[mud.junkie]

My rubicon has mudzilla's and they are AWESOME, but, my ramcher has 26x12x12 mud-lite xls and these tires are much better than most of my friends other tires re gators,bearclaws,and mudbugs. I still love the vamps but it is personel preferance.And by the way i had itp 589's and i used to get stuck all the time in my opinion they just aren't worth much.I put the k/n filter and jet kit and my rancher goes almost anywhere.
Anyways for my Rancher at itp mud-lites are the way to go but ask around

[06 BaNsHeE]

Thanks bro.Im going to look at all the tires now on ebay and see which one I can get the better deal.So my rear rim is 11 and Front is 12 right?So any tire with 11 as the last number will work for the rear right?And same for front right.Thanks Ill let you know

[06 BaNsHeE]

Thanks.Im also Looking into a K&N and goung to jet it.

[mud.junkie]

lol both of those rancher were stuck and the red ones tires were not clean that should make you think

[rubicon500kid]

yea any tire with 11 will i ur stock rims

also dont just get the filter get a pipe too my rancher riped with a pipe and filter

the only tires i know off my head taht have them in ur size are
mudbugs,gators,vamps
there might be more but i dont rember

i might have some 26 589s for sale soon but you would need a 12inch rear rim


also mud.junkie the only reason those bikes got stuck was the green one blew up (the top end went out ) and the red one got pulled in by his winch wich the broke about 5 mins later the red atv  did clean the tires out  that pic was when they wernt spining when they where they cleaned out but once i got of the gas they fild back up
also that was befor a few other mods that was only with a pipe and a filter

i went in the same hole about 2 weeks ago with my rubicon and it got stuck there too so have a griz 700 on 29.5s and a brute force with 30" mudlights

[MadMudder]

Yeah I run mudlites on my suzuki right now. I have to say I really like them but they are not for a serious mudder. They are great for the occasional mudder but if you are gonna spend any more then 70% of riding in mud then I would go with something more along the lines of what rubicon is saying. My dad has 27 bearclaws on his and they are allot better then stock but they are heavy. He has a polairs 500 and it will smoke the belt and bog down when its really deep in. So I woulndt reccomend any bigger then 26s.

[06 BaNsHeE]

Ive been trieng to look for a Full pipe for my rancher but I only find slip ons.Im dieng to take this thing to the Hump already so Im looking for cheap tires to just have for now until my Bday Comes so I can get New wheels and Tires.Thats Why I was looking at the mudlights.But if they suck that bad I might just go with stocks

Also can I just get Vamps or Mudzillaz in the rear for now and lets say bear claws for the front.Will that be good?Im having a hard time looking on ebay for mudtires my sizes that arent Mudlights or Bearclaws

[Ida_Mann]

I rarely go into mud,,,,heck I rarely go riding anymore, but here's the pics I found riding with another member from this site.

[rubicon500kid]

nice rubi  Ida_mann  how manny miles do you have on that beast ? i got 2250 miles on mine  it looks awsome with green plastics

here is my rubi

[snowmanzz13]

i've got mud lites on my blaster and they pull it through anything, hasn't been stuck recently unless you find a big hole and dive in with no wheel speed and let the mud catch the frame




you should try em on your shee

[06 BaNsHeE]

Naw man My shee sees no mud.Lol I have stock BALD tires for that beast.Im just going to give the Bearclaws or ITP Mudlites a try Until August 29 lol.Hey Rubiconkid will my rancher be able to spin 27' Vampires If I jet it,Filter,and Pipe?Also Which exhaust should I get.Thanks

[Ida_Mann]

I personally can't claim all the miles, but I have put a few on it,,,,last I looked it's got a little over 6K miles on the odo.

if I could just get the electrical system figured out, I'd be happy with it.

Id@

[snowmanzz13]

your shee doesn't see mud?!? whats the point and not runnig it around once in a while in the mud, gives you a great work out slinging it around holes and is tons of fun, lol maybe i'll see some pics of you playing with it in the mud? lol

[06 BaNsHeE]

Lol Shee now has K&N Pod filters.No airbox+mud/water do not belong in the same sentence lol.sh*t I might just take her for her last mudding trip this weekend.

[snowmanzz13]

lol, where at?

[rubicon500kid]

06 BaNsHeE  ur rancher might be abel to pull them if i was you i ran 27x10x12 vamps on mine and it did fine but im only like 130 and my g/f at the time was about 100 or a lil less and it pulled them fine

i had a hmf pipe(slip on) k&n filter,jet kit and a snorkel and it pulled them  fine

if you want i can make you a snorkel for ur bike like the one on my rancher in the pics but you would need to buy the the pvc   

if you want run 26s with the mods listed above you should do fine
now my rubicon bogs down with 26s on it but i was in some pritty thick SH!t and i had my buddy on the back and he is 220 pounds and a cooler




Ida thats crazy 6000 dang i thought mine had alot of miles on it lol

only thing that worrys me is the electrical ssytem (my lights go on and off some times) and the tranny that thing is crazy looking lol

[06 BaNsHeE]

That will be awesome.Are you going to be at the humps this weekend?If you are we can talk there And Ill give you my number and stuf.I really want a snorkel but Im quite new to the whole 4x4 thing.Snowman Ill be out at the hump if you wanna go.Bring your shee because were all shees except for a ds650 which is fast as SH*T and a z400.

[Ida_Mann]

yeah, I've gone through three stators, four batteries, and a complete wiring kit,,,,,it still eats batteries for dinner.

the wiring kit includes the shifting switch up on the handlebars,,,,,,,I'm gonna drop it at ATP and see if Mike can figure it out.
