Title: ITP Mud Lites on a 2 wheel drive machine.
Post by: Shotgun on December 02, 2005, 06:51:18 PM
I would like to get new tires for my 2003 Kodiak 2x4. If I buy ITP Mud Lites do I need all 4 because the machine is only 2 wheel drive? Can I put mud lites on the back and leave the front stock? Is there any benefit to a mud tire on the front of a 2 wheel drive machine? Thanks.

My dads buddy has a recon 300 and he put the mud lites with itp rims and i think they help a lot.  I personally dont see any point in putting mud tires on the front of a 2x4 because they would juss be harder and slower to drive with.

We have mud lites on the back of our blaster and they work great.

your front tires should be a little narrower size anyways. I had mudlites on the front and rear of my 2x4. The front ones were only like 8 inches wide. You don't want 12 inch wides up there. I have dirt devils on the front of my bike now. They are pretty good tire and cheap. I run gators on the back.
