I'm buying new tires for my Grizzly 700 next week. I had it down to either the Swamp Lites or Mud Gears. The Swamp Lites weigh 30 lbs. and the Mud Gears are right at 40 lbs. Will this make a huge difference? I've never bought ATV tires so I'm really clueless. I know my 700 has a ton of power but I want it to still be able to really sling some mud.

ur 700 has plenty of power to turn 40 lb tires so i wouldnt worry about the weight issue. but i agree if u do alot of mudding u might want to think about a more aggressive tire.

Any idea on how much a 27 x 12-12 Mud Bug weighs?
