These are great tires! I have these tires on a full time 4x4 atv. The ones on the rear have lasted 11 years with hard use without dry-rotting or wearing down much. I had to replace the front ones after 10 years due to tread wear ( the tires were bald since the atv is always 4x4. ) Over all this is a good tire that is good for pulling (pulls better in reverse than forward) and mudding. Would recommend to a friend

I purchased the ITP Mud Lite AT, for my 1995 Honda Fourtrax 300 4x4, based on history.I originally purchased them for my 1999 Honda Fourtrax 300 4x4 in May of 2004. They don't look much different today then they did eight years ago. Back then the Mud Lite AT was hailed as the lightest weight mud tire on the market. I matched the Mud Lite AT to the Maxxis Lite 8-Spoke wheel which was advertised as the lightest wheel on the market. If I remember correctly, the overall weight of my Honda dropped 30 pounds. That means a lot when you're running along 650 & 700cc bikes. On the highway I came up on and passed a Polaris 350 in 2 wheel mode. The Honda Fourtrax 300 4x4 being continuous 4 wheel drive. (3 wheel drive without aftermarket modifications.)
My Mud Lite AT's were 12". A move up from the OE 11" steel wheels of the Honda Fourtrax. This allowed me a much greater selection of tires and tire sizes available. I went with 27x10x12 rear and 26x10x12 front tires. This gave my Honda Fourtrax 300 the ground clearance I needed to avoid "crowning out" on mud trails when following the larger bikes. Crowning Out occurs when your tires are in the tire ruts and the crown between the tire ruts is high enough to keep your tires from reaching the ground. Then you sit there with your tires going around but not moving at all.
Next was traction. I plow a driveway 100' long with a 5' wide plow. That's a lot of snow and sometimes the wheels are just a spinning to keep forward movement. In deep snow, my brother-in-law got about 30' on his new Honda Rancher and couldn't move the pile ahead of his plow - so he backed away from it. I was coming up behind him with a load of snow and went head on into his pile then continued on with both loads another 70 feet.
Then there's Poker Runs. Always someone looking for air to inflate a tire. I have had zero pounds of air in my Mud Lite's and never had a problem. They are "Run Flat" tires on my bike. It was an installation problem on my bike. I never had a bead pop off of any of my wheels. I could take them in for removal and reinstall but they work just fine and I've lost a wheel and tire because of a tire machine. I could Slime them but I've heard tire dealers don't appreciate that.
The price is highly competitive if you shop around. $40-$80 savings on the tire alone. $20-$40 savings on shipping.
I purposely chose the Mud Lite AT with it's 3/4" lug over the Mud Lite XL with a 1-1/8" lug because I do a lot of road riding. I'll experiment when I win the Lotto.
To sum up; they're priced right, lightweight, perform well in all elements of riding, wear like steel, perform like run flats, look great and last so long that they pay for themselves.
That's all I ask for in a tire.
