No I doubt its a slam against mudlites. their just a very light tire and they ride well so its not as hard to push them as say an Outlaw or Mudzilla

Yep, that's right. I've had all 3 of them tires. Mudlites are light weight & not NEAR as aggresive as outlaws or zillas.
are zilla,s and outlaws a one purpose tire, i mean they don,t look like a very comfortable trail tire.

28" Laws are kind of rough riding, 28" Zillas are rough up to about 8 mph. Due to the straight line lugs in the center, they smooth out real nice on the hard pack. I like the Zillas for an all around tire, if 28" is what you're gonna run. Now 29.5 Laws ride alot smoother than the 28" I got 29.5's now. MEAN AZZ TIRE!
I like the 28" Mudzillas, but they are ROUGH!!! Haven't really gotten over 8 mph with them yet.

Hey, I'm wanting to go with Outlaws on my Brute 750, what all does it require to wedge a set of 29.5's under it? Also, what's the biggest outlaw I can fit under it without wheel spacers or a lift kit? I'm tryin' to get ready for Mud Nationals this year and am working on a small budget. If it helps I have the ITP Delta steel rims, I think they have a 1" offset.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Just throw some 29.5 Laws on your bike and go ride.
If you want 28", I would go with the Mud Bugs. They are much better in the mud than the Mud Lites and they do not plug up in the sticky mud like the mud lites do. More puncture resistant as well.
29.5's fit without a lift?

Maybe, but you better buy one of my lift kits, just to be sure.

This is what you need to build. The plastic around my headlights are starting to breal around the screws. These would be cool if they were SS.

Nice stuff you make Mudlift!

Official weights from the their websites are:

Mud Lite XL
28x10x12 26.8 lb.
28x12x12 28.4 lb.

Mud Bug
28x10x12 25.6 lb.
28x12x12 30.6 lb.

Pretty equal weights. When you consider how much better the bugs are in mud as well as how much better they wear it is no comparison in my books.
