A look at there website would show the depth of the tread to be 28/32 or 7/8. After 1800 miles mine are still over 1/2".

My bighorns look like a shade over 7/8", hard to tell, serious radius at bottom of lug AND my 'ruler' only has 1/8"s

Last years problems. IF, if you get one you dont like, guess what? Return to vendor for replacement. Maxxis is good about that. I actually was worried that mine were out of round...well...I listened to an "expert" who said I needed to run 7-10 pounds of air or they'd fall off the rims bwa haaa haaa..I'm at 4 now and it rides like a cadilac.
Had it up to about 50, on a rough trail sunday and smooooth as silk. Look at the pics on my page.
There is just no way a normal tire could have taken a hit to the sidewall like that. And survived.
They really work fine in light mud, the ONLY time I got stuck this weekend was getting hung up- you know high centered a rut and it was too wide for tire bite- not the tires fault.
You know looking at the pics on the websites I was worried the tread wasn't deep enough, man, was I surprised when UPS dropped them off, I thought they were some kind of mud tire. Great on all the trails I was on. Rocks, logs, mud, water, sand/gravel mix, leaves, loose dirt. Really an excellent trail tire. Really happy with the tire. Second choice was kenda bear claws-

I'm toooooo old for this crap...but....I had a chance to get on the pavement (no-no in ohio) and rip down the road, I hit 55 before I ran out of courage.
Smoooooooooth on the Bighorn radials. Very nice ride. Much nicer than the stockers, which I had on the highway several months ago top speed maybe 35.
No lurching or scary rolling, just a nice ride. Its even smoother at 30-40. If I was going to make a habit of this, I'd have them balanced.

I will try to remember to measure them tomorrow(ATR's). They look to be pretty close to the 25" Mud Lites depth. 7/8" seem stick in my mind but I will check for sure.
Posted by: Vaquero
OK I finally got them measured. My ATR's look to have about 1/2" tread depth. I have about 500 miles on these tires. I haven't noticed wear but I'm sure there is some rubbed off. My Mud Lites are just over 1/2" with about the same miles on them.

Yea 25's, should have got 26's though. I just purchased a set of 26" ITP Wetlands to try this winter. I will pull off the ATR's and put them on when it gets muddy and deep snow here.
Posted by: Vaquero
The wetlands seem to weigh a little more than the Mud Lites but they are one size up. I got them to replace a set of 25" Gators that I used to run. I wasn't that impressed with them and they were HEAVY. They were a want to be mud tire. They were good in the mud but not like a Mudzilla, and they had the same draw backs, heavy, slick on hard slimy surfaces etc.

are bear claws better than the mudlites or gators in the mud and on the trail?

what about atr,s lug depth?
Posted by: spikeland
its hard to tell by looking at a picture how agressive the lugs look.7/8 is pretty good.
Posted by: spikeland
thanks Vaquero .are your mudlites 25 inchers.?
Posted by: spikeland
are the itp wetlands heavier than the mudlites if so alot or a little. so you didnt get to try them yet. i was gonna ask how they compared to the mudlites.well when you find out let me know. thanks

range rover i like the photos.those tires are what i need
Posted by: theBEASTfromTHEeast
get a set of itp 589's NOTHING beats those tires, and if you get anything 26" or bigger, they have a lug depth of a 1" plus, mine are 1 1/4!!!
