Welcome Mudngirl I think you'll find everyone pretty friendly around here. Anyways I've had Mud Bugs, Mud Lites, and the newest is my ITP 589's. I love my 589's for the mud and snow and they do good on the hardpack. My brother runs Mudzilla's on his Honda; they do good but tend to hop and bounce when climbing steeper hardpacked hills - it just looks dangerous! Depends on the type of ring you do I guess.
