I've had a set of ML's on a 250sx and fell in love with them. they were 22 inch jobs tho. I'm looking for feedback on the 20 inchers on the back of a sport trike. specifically a 350X?

Anyone? pros and cons?

I think they would be good on the 350X.I had the 22X11X8 on my 225.They are a great all around tire.I think the 20's would make it a little more ruff on the ride.But you will make up for that with more stability.

They seem like a decent tire but they wear too fast. A friend of mine has a stock Big Bear 400 and it came with Mudlites from the factory, they're already half gone and the quad was only driven for one summer. I had my 06 twice as long and was constantly doing burnouts and stuff with it (Maxxis stock treads), and the tread was in about the same shape. He's a tame rider compared to me.

That's what I was thinkin doggy. I ride in alot of loose rocks and rough terrian. and they kicked butt in the mud. I also like the fact they're lite and 6 ply.

pic of the sx.. I really miss that ride. :(

My friend has them on a 300ex (20'') and they do good in mud and basically everywhere else. They do wear fast though, A friend has the 27s on his rincon and I had some on my old 4x4 and they dont last like a sport tire does.

Maybe the ones my friend and Super90 got were defective? All I know is, my Maxxis stock treads still had knobs left, after me drifting, roosting, burnouts, etc for a year and a half of using the quad almost every day. My buddy's was half or more worn after 3 months of medium duty use, every 2 days or so. :wondering

Alot of guys run the mudsharks and mudzilla's on their banshee's and sport quads here. I can see them wearing quickly on a two stroke, but I'm lucky if I get out twice a month for a few hours... surly they should last a good while. :wondering

Hey edog,, got any pics of you slingin mud on that 225? :D

You guys do realize the ones on the New Big Bear are a special compound Mudlite?

Too late! lol :Bounce

I'm sure they'll work good enough for my style of riding (I just hope they dont hook too well and send me for a ride)

Can't wait to rip up the silt pits!!!! :D

i gotta make it down there to come ride!! the 200X is still going strong but the Z of couse is undergoing surgery stripped the shift shaft like raffa said i was gonna so a whole rebuild is in order!!! i was thinking of some good 25" mudders on the 200X or the woolley boogers off the 200S i have sitting in the back yard???

I almost got mudlights for my X also, but I got the Sur-Traks instead, almost wish I woulda got mudlights, I can slide for _____ with this Traks.They should work out good for ya Chris.

Ripper, 25" would be a bit much for the ol' 200X. Get some 20" wooly boogers for it, it'll go almost anywhere.

I have surtrake and always though they slid great? Kenda klaws dont slide good at all, yet sur traks will slide on just about anything.
