new here, tire & rim question?

Hello all,
Looks like I'm the new guy. I was looking at getting a suzuki king quad 450, had the money saved up and everything. But then I used the money on a house down instead, can't live in a four wheeler anyways. However I recieved an 02 bayou 220 for a house warming present from the parents. Now its not nearly as cool as a brand new king quad, but it is still entertaining and when I get the money saved back up I'll get myself that kingquad. I already have the bayou piped, jetted, K&N, and a winch. The bayou is like brand new, in perfect shape not even a scratch on the plastic. The question is I want to get a more aggressive tire, and some decent looking rims would be nice also. Whats available and whats been getting the best reviews?. I ride some mud, snow, more trails, river bottom (lots of rocks) and sometimes cross the river in some low spots. any suggestions, ideas?

thanks,
J Rigby

Most of the guys and gals here seem to love the mudlites. that would be the tires I would look into.

By the way, welcome to Mudbog, and good move getting the house situation squared away before buying a new bike. Plenty time still to get new bikes later.

dirt devil

well I have been looking at alot of tires, for it. I was going to go with the dirt devils at first, but I found out the mud lites you can get in a 23x10x10 so I went with them on some douglas .190 aluminum rims, and I went with a 22x8x10 mud lite for the front on a douglas .160 aluminum rim. I just would rather go taller than wider I only could get the dirt devils in a 22x11x10 and I like the narrower tires for the snow anyways. I didnt want something so aggressive up front because its only a 2wd but decided I would rather have the same look and couldn't find any that I liked. Total came to a little over $400 with shipping to have it here thursday. Nobody local could even get aluminum rims for it. So I used rockymountainatv.com I'll let you know how the tires do and post some pics when I get them thanks guys

welcome to mudbog!!

I am curious to see how it looks. And how it works in the mudhole. Be sure to let us know

and looking forward to your review of the mudlites

welcome to mudbog, i have mudlites on my 07 big bear from the factory and they are a great tire for a variety of terrain, and they definetely do not shy away from mud!!!

had a bayou 220 round '90 something model, gave it to sister w/ swampers on it when i got 07 bear...bayou surprisingly fun/efficient in the mud...would recommend the mudlites though
