Title: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: otto on February 28, 2005, 07:24:18 PM Any recommendations for mud/trail tires for 2WD sport quads?I have yfz450 and blaster that could use some help in the mud but I don't want to compromise trail performance.

I have herd that those new maxxis razar2's are good. They have larger tread, aggresive sidewall and tougher all around. This is all coming form my bud who owns a ATV shop and races cross-country and some MX. Sport quads arent ment for the mud at all but... Mabye some blackwaters but i dunno about the trail performence. :-/

Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: otto on March 01, 2005, 08:08:47 PM Thanks much. I will try mudlites on one quad and razr2's on the other and bring a friend with a 4WD just in case. :D
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: MadMudder on March 02, 2005, 01:39:41 PM If you haven't yet, put the lites on the blaster and the maxxis on the yfz. The 450 will make better use of the traction and they need to be spun faster to get traction. The lites will work on the blaster beacuse they don't need as much power to get moving. I would also look into a winch if you are going to be in the mud allot. One more thing, i would also bring that friend ;D
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: Truegrit on March 06, 2005, 06:25:42 PM Look into the 22" Mud Machines.
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: mudman8024 on March 09, 2005, 07:23:41 PM I have blackwaters on my 400ex, and I am happy with there performance in mud. I had a set of super swampers on my old 350x 3 wheeler and they worked great.
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: wilburz on March 10, 2005, 05:34:42 AM got a set of 22x11-9 mudlites for sale. only 1.5 months old. 90% tread. $70.00
I had them on my ozark and then took them off, they worked well but wanted some more ground clearance, to put some 25x12-9 inch GBC gators on. Also the GBC dirt devils are pretty good tires. I got those for the front for around 33 bucks apiece. Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: otto on March 11, 2005, 06:57:43 PM Thanks. I already picked up mudlites and razr2's. The razr2's are much heavier. I got wheel adpaters for blaster so I can swap back and forth. Plan to try lites on blaster first but I will swap and compare. Thanks for all the good advice ;D
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: RaptorTom on March 12, 2005, 08:45:33 PM Let me know witch work out better. I have a raptor and was thinking about getting a pair of mud tires to put on when I go to muddy places.
Title: Re: Need 2WD mud tire recommendations Post by: otto on March 13, 2005, 07:21:49 PM I got the new tires and went riding today. Wow...big improvement on both quads. The razr2's on yfz were much better than the stock dunlops on the trail and in the mud. My son loved the mud lites and only got stuck twice (he was in way too deep both times).
