I really like the gbc gators. They have been an awesome tire for me in the mud, snow, and hard stuff. They seem to wear good also.

What kind of riding are you planning on doing on average? Are you mainly going to be all mud/deep mud, mainly trail riding or a combination of mud/snow/trails?

On a 4x2 machine with 250cc's displacement... the main thing you want to be thinking is weight...you definetely don't want a heavy tire to drag you down.

I'd look into the new dirt devil II (i liked the original). If not, look at the Spider Trak... it's fairly aggressive for it's size and weight and has lugs on the sides and tracks in the middle to really get ahold of a rut.

Good Luck,

Ride Safe,

Chuck

I am planing on rideing through small creek crossings no more than 2ft deep, trail rideing and a little bit of rock crawling. Would the mud lite AT be a good tire for that kind of terrain???

Mudlites are kind of soft so they'll stick to the rocks pretty good.

Here is some information that might help you waistdeep...

26" GBC Gator Review

Also, this is a very informative place to compare reviews on several different kinds of tires. Once you select the tire, the review is on the left hand side.
Product Page

Here are some magazine reviews for the ITP's:
ITP TIRES - The World's #1 ATV Aftermarket Tire & Wheel Source :: Magazine Reviews

Hope this helps!

I do like Mudlites... just wasn't sure they offered them in a size that small.

I'm going with the ITP mudlites because they have better reviews, gators seem a little bit heavy just like Ccrane said,

"On a 4x2 machine with 250cc's displacement... the main thing you want to be thinking is weight...you definetely don't want a heavy tire to drag you down"

I ordered the ITP mudlites at 7:15pm tonight and they should be here by dec, 18.

Excellent...keep us posted and please give us a review after you've gotten them to let us know how they perform for you. We'd love to hear your point of view on them
