| I ride on trails in the woods with some steep hills and mud , After alot of good advice from guys on forums i am running 27" maxxis Zillas... They ride well on the trails and when the mud gets deep they dig well and sling the mud and keep me moveing.. | |

| I run 27's/Mudlite XTR on my rig. Great in the snow, mud, and ride smooth on the hard pack trails. Rubber might be a little soft for the hard pack and they don't wear well if you do much blacktop riding. I've been zipping around on the blktop this winter some and can really see the wear on the tires. I think my next set will be 26's as I don't need the 27's because all the mud-holes dried up around here. | |

| I've come to the conclusion from reading countless tire threads that everyone's advise on a good tire is the one they just bought.
I'll tell you a couple to stay away from. Maxxis Mud lites...overpriced and IMO suck and Maxxis Swamp Lites...again overpriced and the sidewalls bust out.
Shop around and first figure out what type of tire you want. A mud tire or a terra cross tire. Both types you can find great tires on a budget. Kendra Executioners are what I run because I wanted a true mud tire. They are $200 cheaper than any other true mud tire. If you go with a Terra Cross type tire Artrax CTx is a duplicate of the Bighorn for $250 cheaper. | |

| I love Bighorns. I put 2500 miles on a set that was on a rzr s I had, and they were still over 1/2 tread. I really like how they wear, handle, and how smooth they ride. They don't do as bad in mud as some say they do, but they don't do as good as a mud tire. I love them in the snow, as they seem to float instead of digging down. I'm running 25s on my stock sport wheels. They measure a true 25", and the weight on the 25s is not bad compared to other tires. The only gripe I have with them is the rearend slides downhill easy on off camber stuff when it is slick. | |

| I run 27 XTRs. They are good tires off road but if you do any blacktop riding they don't last very long. My next tires will be Bighorns. | |

| I have 26 mud lites on now am planning on going up to a 29-30 , because of the weight of a lot of mud tires I'm thinking of the zilla tires a lot lighter than the rest , any thoughts on the zilla's . | |
