| Highlifter Outlaws,30" 38.8 pounds, 14 less than Terminators, and 17 lighter than Silverbacks. Easier on you drivetrain and faster accel. | |

| mudlites are not a mud tire! zillas to answer your question. if you want a true mud tire stick with outlaw or silverback. zillas and mudlites are more of a aggressive all terrain tire. both tires prone to flats due to thin rubber. there light weight for a reason. | |

| Zillas,lighter,great traction real good sidewall protection, and more resistant to punctures, but they are not as smooth as XTR's and wear quicker. The favorite is Zillas. | |

you are the first person I have ever seen use the words good sidewall protection , resistant to punctures and zillas in the same sentence. are you confusing the zilla with the mudzilla?? | |

| Ok let me put it this way I do trail and some mud but I want a tire that if I do hit the mud hole im not getting stuck that easy. I do like the outlaws but they seem heavy . | |

| I have had nothing but good luck with my XTR's they are light weight and all I ride here in florida is mud and sand bottom water, they pull me threw most everything. I don't care if u have XTR'S, zillas, vampire, outlaws or silverbacks, if it's gonna get stuck it's gonna get stuck, my next tire is going to be the ITP Mayhems. Seen them get thru just about all florida can throw at it and are lightweight as well, I only run a max size of 27" on both rhinos. There is no need for some giant 30" tire at all. HEAVY AND PRONE TO BREAKING AXLES. I've run 30 silverbacks and 29.5 outlaws on 2 of my old grizzlys and I went thru a handful of axles, now add a lift to that scenario and change the angle of the CVs and axles and your just askin to break. But hey it's just my nickles worth of free advice. | |

| then yes mudlites , zillas , xtr`s , 589s and mega mayhem will all be good choices. imo the mega mayhems will be the best choice. | |

| X2 ^^^ but IMO I like the mayhem a little better than the mega mayhem, 1.5" lugs on em. A little more meat goes a long way with me. | |

| I have a couple buddies running them and have been converted. They love them and I've watched them crawl outta some nasty shit. So I figure when I need new I'm gonna give them a go on my 06 660. From what I've seen and what they are telling me it's a no brainier. Plus there affordable. Only thing I don't care for is they aren't a radial but oh well. | |

| I have the 26x14-11 and 26x14-9 terracross on mine and I love them and I'm actually getting close to replacing them soon and will be buying the same tires. They are pretty aggressive and have a good rim guard and good sidewall tread as well. They were on mine when I bought it and I have put them thru Hell and have had no issues what so ever with them. | |

| Cool. I have a set of ITP 216 in 12" that I bought awhile back. Need tires for them. Have Interco Reptiles on ITP beadlocks on the Rhino now. I like the reptiles and the beadlocks but while I was on my 6 month hiatus Jack and I ordered a set. The only thing I don't like about jack is, he and I will get on eBay and the next morning I'm paying for stuff WE bought and that SOB ain't no where around. Goooooo figure. | |

| I have read review after review and the choice is almost always Bighorns over the more expensive Terracross, but more and more people are choosing Grimreapers or Pitbulls over the others.
