Grizzly gets new Paws.

Postby ACLakey » Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:56 pm

I decided on a set of 26" Mudlite XL tires for the grizz due to the varied terrain I ride and the price. I also opted to throw on a set of 1" wheel spacers to reuse the stock setup and give me the same offset as an after market wheel.

So far I am happy with the setup. I am dropping a clutch kit in tomorrow and hope to get out and ride soon, they are calling for snow in the hills!!!! I will keep you informed.

Those look pretty sweet! And I'll bet you are still under 50" wide, even with the spacers. :)

I can't wait to hear how they do in the snow. My Bighorns dug into the snow faster than a miner on crank, as you can see in this video. Hopefully those Mudliltes will do a little better. Here's a still photo of my dug-in Bighorns :(

And no, I wasn't on crank when I winched out of that snow in the video. That's just the magic of editing. :lol:

That really makes the Griz look sharp. Not that it doesn't before, but the addition of the tires and spacers really give it that something extra. I am running on 26" mudlites as well and they have been fairly good so far. They have some things that I don't like, but the over all value is fairly good. Keep us posted on how the spacers do, I might be in the market for some as well.
Thanks,

I agree, the bighorns work awesome in the snow if you air them down.

I can validate that Mudlites DO NOT out perform Bighorns in the snow. We went riding after Christmas, and it was not even close. Scott and I had no problem with our Bighorns, and my friend riding Lori's ATV on Mudlites got stuck at least 5 or 6 times in the same spot we just breezed through. They just DIG and DIG.....until you're in a grave.
