I am so disappointed in my ITP mud lite XTR's . I have had a leek on my right front for awhile, just found that it is in the sidewall were it looks like it has been pinched. I these things didnt have such thin sidewalls this would have never happend. Going to maybe sell these and put a set of 30 zillas on.

HEY TRUTH I got your PM about you might be getting a set of ITP mud lites in a 30. The only thing I can tell you about the mud lites is watch your side walls. I have always run mine at 9 to 11 psi. and I just found a leak in my right front. Looks like the side wall was pinched and it is now leaking. I am still not happy with the ITPs I guess I will never be. But I know other that have had great luck with them. Hope you do.

I'm running GBC Dirt Tamers, a copy of the Bighorns, so far they have done great. On my Prairie I have always ran ITP ATR's, and they are really hit or miss to how they will balance out. On the trail you really never notice much if at all, but on the road at around 35 MPH, they set up a pretty good headshake.
It seems as the sport grows, better tire choices will be available.

I had a problem with mine staying on the rim. I just had to run more PSI. If I ran them down around 9 or lower they would be popped off.
