29.5 swamplights

[rubicon500kid]

hey is any one on this site runing them ? i might be trading my 26" 589's and my warn winch for some for my rubicon
they are 29.5x10x12  and they have every other luf on the side cut to help them clean out (when they arnt cut like that the clog up very fast )

i realy wanted to know if they are any good

[MadMudder]

Well you can get outlaws in a 29.5 and they are a way better tire in the mud. OR mudzilla makes a 30 now.

Every one I know that has them Loves them...not the 29.5's but the swamplites.....AND the reason they are not cleaning right is the bike is not powering them.. ....I could not see cutting lugs....Maybe on Super Swampers for a truck...but Not ATV Swamplites....

Dude if I was you I'd go for a smaller more agressive tire, from what I'v heard and seen of the swamplites their not very ''light'' and dont really mud all that well.If you want an agressive tire that will trail ok and hang with the laws in the mud [almost] check out the bi/tri claws.

I wouldn't run 29.5"s on that bike. It's just not big enough. You can try but watch those axles. And why would you trade a winch for bigger tires? Your going to get stuck worse with less chance to get out.

I'd go with 28" Mud Bitches.

[rubicon500kid]

thanks i know alot about outlaws and what not i plan on runing 29.5 outlaws down the road but right now my bike is stock and i wont be abel to turn the 29.5 outlaws

right now im looking at some 28" EDL's


i was going for the mudbitchs but they havent came out with the 28s yet

[rubicon500kid]

im also looking into geting a 550 BBK kit for the rubicon i have herd great things from owners with them one guy has 1500 miles and hasnt had a problem

[jimmyt14]

edls would be worse than any of the outher tires IMO.Some 27'' outlaws would be good.I still recomend the bi/tri claws, GREAT tire

[rubicon500kid]

why would EDL's be worse ? i personly think bi/tri suck i had them on my rancher and hated them i still have them at a friends hosue 
i know i loved my old vamps on my rancher they did awsome

[jimmyt14]

The edls have a 2inch lug and dig straight to the bottom so if theirs no bottom...you dont go anywhere and their VERY heavy I highly doubt a rubi could spin them even with bolt on mods.And maybe the reason the bi/tris wernt very good with you was because it was a RANCHER, a little 350.The bi/tris will run with any other mud tire and smoke them on the trail and they wear like iron.IMO the bi/tris are the best all around mud tire.

[rubicon500kid]

lol  trust me my rancher had the power to turn them.any one who knew my rancher will tell you it was a beast befor i put it back to stock   i ran 27" vamps on it after the bi/tri claws

and yes a rubicon dose have the power to turn them i know that for a fact there is a few guys over at high lifter runingt 28" outlaws stock and with a hmf and lift are runing 29.5s

also i ran vamps and they wont dig if you know how to ride  i know vamps will out mud mudbugs and gators any day
shoot my 26 "589s on my bike out mud my friends g/f's foreman with 27" gators

[jimmyt14]

ok i'm sorry I didnt no you were the authority on tires
And vamps arnt a step up from the claws their a major step down.And I didnt say you couldnt clear the laws , I said you wouldnt be able to spin them good.

[jimmyt14]

BTW 589's will not outmud bugs or gators.Maybe the person didnt no what they were doing idk but I'v seen 589's, my uncle has them on his vinson at mudfest I followed him throu most stuff on my 300 with stockers I only got stuck when I got hung up.My bugs got just as big or slightly larger tread than the 589's.Plus the 589's are way heavier and clog up much easier.

[MadMudder]

Well can I ask you something jimmy? What tires do you have right now on your bike? When you give advice you can say what you run and say how they work but unless you have ran a number of different tires then you cant go bashing everything else that isnt yours.

 As for the EDL's, I would go with those before the swamplights cause they look like a better mudtire. The swamplights look more along the lines of a smaller tire that you would use throttle and wheelspin to mud with. The EDL's would be a better tire because with a 2in lug they wouldnt take near as much throttle to mud with. I mean if you punched it with the edls you would probably dig 4 big holes but if you drive them right they would be the better choice.

[jimmyt14]

I got the bugsss

[jimmyt14]

And I was just giving an opinion from what I'v heard/seen
I'm not saying the edls arnt good, their one of the best mud tires made[would blow swamplites outta the water] just would be hard to spin and really arnt needed from florida mud.

[MadMudder]

Ok it just seemed like you were bashing everything that wasnt a tri claw. BTW how are mudbugs. Im gettin some for my bike and am wondering how good they are. I have a tire advice post up but nobody seems to be able to help me...

[jimmyt14]

Nah I'm sorry if it seemed like I was bashing them my badd.And the bugs wow if you see them on the net they dont like that mean but when you see them in person their awsome.I havent had them in anything yet but my side lot but they hook up well and sling sand everywhere, its great they look to be a BIG improvement over stock I highly reccomend them.They also ride smooth too.

[06 BaNsHeE]

I MIGHT be getting Mudbugs but the damn asswhole thinks Im stupid and wants 500.They are like brand new tho they only have one ride and I was there when he rode and took them off(I was on the back)They were on a Rancher just like mine so I know they will fit.And they look so agressive in person the pictures online dont give em any justice.Those are my next tires for sure.

[jimmyt14]

I got my mudbugs with the rims and shipping for $538 so $500 just for tires aint much of a deal.

[06 BaNsHeE]

Does 300 sound like im low balling him?

[jimmyt14]

Dont quote me on this but I think the bug runs between $60-$80 depending on size so really $300 would be good maybe $350

[yunt2ride]

You can buy a new set for $300. I have mud bugs and they are a great tire. Depending on the size he has.
