Re: best all around quad tires.......

We've had the Zilla's on for a month or so now and they are and excellent all around tire. They are a little rough at slow speeds on very had packed trails but for the most part they ride very smooth. The best part is that they work very well in the mud and snow and are more agressive than many other tires but still good on the trails. Now to see how they wear................

Re: best all around quad tires.......

I seen that outlaw has a new radial looks fairly agressive and are fairly light treads come together in the middle for a smooth ride.

Re: best all around quad tires.......

the radials are old and discontinued. hear that the executioners run at least an inch short and that the zillas have very soft lug compound which will make them wear out quick.

Re: best all around quad tires.......

I picked up my executioners a few weeks ago.

10x27 up front, 12x27 in the rear. I was very skeptical about the weight of the tire. Very heavy compared to stock. Upwards of 38lbs per tire. I'm going to weight them soon to get exact numbers.

They really rattle when turning slow, but by slow I mean pushing back and forth on the garage floor. I don't often crawl around at walking speed, cause that's really the only time I notice the lugs. But wind the 800 up, and they feel very smooth.

Traction is unbelievable. Night and day above the stockers, which are arguably the best stock tire out there, so that in itself was impressive. I've hit some big mud holes, and the quad feels like it could almost idle through them, but then what fun is that. You can throw a lot of mud with these things. TIme to get some fender extensions, I think. The tread pattern still lets you power the back end out around corners without catching edges. They ride very well on hard pack as well.

The lugs a fairly stiff. One of the stiffest, I would say. Hope they last a while. We'll see. As for size, they do measure a little small. My 27's measure in at 26.5" at 7psi. Too bad they don't make a 28". I did need spacers for the fronts though. I flipped the tie rods underneath, but the tire was only 1/16" away from the steering arm on the strut. Contemplated leaving as-is, but started to imagine stuff getting wedged between the tire and arm, and breaking something. Oh, and awsome bead protection.

I'll have to start racking up the miles and do a follow up on them.

Hopes this helps someone.

I love my Mud Bugs. Really hard to beat them in most conditions. Don't wear too bad if you stay off the pavement.
