ok guys, finally went ahead and got the tires. all i have to say is WOW!! those are some wild tires in person. i did notice a huge difference in weight from my 27'' mudlites. now how much of a difference do you think that will coenside with spinning them in the mud in 2nd gear? before with my 27'' mudlites i could spin them in the thickest stuff with no problems. i was also able to do wheelies with a 2nd gear drop. with these new tires, will i lose all of that?
another thing i would like to mention is i dont really ride super fast, i think my bike has been in 5th gear maybe 2 times. and when i'm stuck, i dont sit there and wear myself out trying to get out. i see no need for all of that. i just get off and push, pull myself out. i think thats how alot of people break their axles, they sit there and get axle hop going trying to get out. and with the bigger tires my axle angle never changed, i just got another 2 1/2'' GC.
basically i'm asking what should i expect with these tires and what kind of power lose should i expect. is it going to be noticeable?
thanks, sorry so long
