Status: offline 		Went rideing yesterday and put on my 30" mudlites 10s and 12s because its pretty dry at our local park, Really like how smooth these tires are and what mud we found they walk right threw not like a law or anything but do well, they climb very good over downed trees and up hills pretty happy with them.

My gauges all worked real nice and where there at they are real easy to see without even taking your eye's off the trail real happy with the location on them.
Sodbuster let me ride his 500m and spray it a couple times  i have to say my 650 will be getting a N.O.S. kit installed on it at some point..lol

Main thing with these 30s is they will float my 650H1  we found a spot about 50' across with a solid bottom that was chest deep to ride threw and i followed Sodbuster threw it and noticed it looked deeper on his quad then mine he has 29.5" laws , well i started to notice that mine was feeling real tippy and i had to give it alot of throttle (because i was not moving) to finialy get the back tires to drop down and touch the bottom and once i did that i seen how deep the spot was and it was alot deeper then my gauge pod but yet it never went under my racks went under about 3" but going along level like i was my snorkels should had been the only thing sticking out..lol

Just thought it was funny that my heavy "butt" quad was trying to float with these 30s on it, never had done that before with my laws on..  So if you got 30s and hit some deep water hang on..lol
ok done rambling on.

Status: offline 		yea my H1 would float on 30 mls too.  it was wild! The clearance you get on those bad boys is great too.  It didn't matter how much pressure I ran in em they would float forever.  You have to watch em though if you run em below 5psi.  they are pain in butt just to get em to seal on the rim to begin with.  I bet the 14" wheel would have a different effect on the floating though if you put them with a 30Ml

Status: offline 		yeah i never had my 29.5 laws float on me before wel not like this anyway it was kinda crazy lol , shoot with my laws if you just pop the throttle the back will go down and you start a water wheelie i had to almost go WOT at one point because the back would not pull down and i and was just surprised..

yeah no pix we were just to  busy riding.

Status: offline 		My Grizz would float  with my 27x12 Mud B's all around once it got about 4' deep, was kinda surprising the first time it happened lol. I haven't had a chance yet to try with the Laws, I have been riding by myself  this weekend

Status: offline 		I had 30x12s for about 6months after my bevel gear went; and I got used to being able to float across ponds and creeks. then when I put laws back on it was hard to get used to them going to the bottom.  I thought I was sinking everytime.  But I will tell you what tire will eat you lunch is 28x10 EDL's.  Those tires do not float and they dig and dig and then they dig some more.  That tire needs WOT and you can get through any mud, but if you creep it like you would with outlaws they are gonna stick you at the bottom.  I rode on some recently and I can see why they are good in the pit.
