26" ITP Mudlites on Type 5 ITP wheels

[SmittyAllSeason]

I just finished installing a set of 26" ITP Mudlites on my 2004 Grizzly. I love it already. I installed 26x10x12 on the front and 26x12x12 on the rear. I like the ITP 12x7 series 5 rims. They have a clearcoat finish and also the rim has the flat reinforced area to help with the rocks.

I am very happy with it so far. Snow just melted so the fields in my area are a little wet right now. Looking foward to a trip planned the end of April up the the Black Lake area of Lower Michigan.

Haven't had a chance to ride to many trails yet. Planning a trip for last weekend in April. The ride seems a little stiff but I just might let some air out of them. I think I am at about 6 PSI right now. I don't have too many pictures except for my avatar. I will try and get some posted when I get a chance.

I have that set up ITP MUDLITES 26 WITH THE C series#5 (26-10-12 & 26-12-12)and I was at the gore off of 50 outside of winchester VA lots of rock climbing mud holes (deep) and creeks and hard trails with lots of hill climbs and I have to say that I was nervus at first not having a winch but it was never neended those tires are great they are un stopable. they ride a little wobbly at verry low speeds due to the lugs but once you get going it goes away and its a lot smoother. with the C series 5 the gizz looks great. you will love them!!!!

Just got back from a trip in Northern Michigan and I love the 26" Mudlites. My buddy's got stuck in almost everything that I went through. They have the stock tires on their machines yet. One has a Praire 400 and the other has a Brute Force 750. I had to pulll them both out a couple times. I went through mudholes I thought I never would be able to go through. I am very happy with the wheels and tires.

With these tires, just as you think you are going to get stuck, they just find some bite and pull you through. I can't believe how much tires do for these quads in the mud. Riding hardpacked trails is pretty good to. I think the stock tires were only better climbing sand hills. However, maybe the extra weight slowed me down a little bit, but I think the pros outweigh the cons with mud tires.
