[Canaminator]

I have heard of several people complain about high speed shaking and wobble with xtrs . they said they were unable to balance them, it has kind of scared me off of xtrs

The best deals I have had on tires were from Tire Warehouse. Most tire dealers have access to the same few wholesale warehouses, including those stocking atv tires. I had Tire Warehouse order them in and I gave them 10% over their cost. The last tires I bought loose like that were Kenda bearclaws and Mudlites. The Kendas were around $50 each and the mudlites were closer to $80. The funny thing is Tire Warehouse gave me a 10% discount on the Kendas because I bought them with my truck tires, so esentially I got them for cost.

The last two machines I bought came with tires from the dealer, so it's been almost two years since I've had to buy any. If you are friendly with your local tire shop, ask them to call their warehouse to see if they have what you want and negotiate from there.

As for the funny comments,the guy asked about the tires,my buddy and I have the exact same bike (850 xp's) we ride trails with mud,not the real deep stuff, the mud light XTR's out perform the zilla's in my opinion, the fact that I'm not having to think back a say I went through that hole last week easier with the zilla's should carry some weight,he can hit the throttle on hard pack and the xtr's hook up and pulls the front up, mine will spin the zilla's in the same spot with either of us riding it. It's all just opinions good luck with your choice.

NGG I think your on crack. There is no way the XTR outperform the Zilla's. If you go through any kind of mud you would know. Same can be said about muskeg.

Lites and XTR's are shit!

Not gonna argue with you on a key board, not gonaa argue with you period.. I based my opinion on what I see every ride,his hooks up on the trails where mine won't. My tires are 2 weeks older than his, I would think us having the exact same bike (except the tires) it would help to give the person asking questions side by side data.

Just put 27" Zillas on my BF 650i

They are WAY lighter than the 26" XTR's I used to run.

The XTR's seem to work well untill you wear the dimple off the lug face, then the traction kinda sucks. Cornering traction is awesome. They wouldn't slide very well. even on my BF 650 SRA. but when I tried to wheelie they just spun.

In snow they rock... awesome snow tire. they paddle better than others.. The others seem to dig instead.

However, I hated the weight.. They are almost as heavy as Pure Mudzillas. they weigh 33 lbs for each back tire. The 27" zillas are only 24.7. Thats a BIG difference.

I`d have to agree with the guys saying Zilla`s are better. I own a set of 30"and a set of 28" Zilla`s. These are a great tire for the price and are the best all around tire I have ever had.

I got the XTR's on my SXS. I have o complaints yet. I like them cause they are a very hard tire and were like iron. If i go with my tire will be more agressive but i really like the XTR`s so far. 800km on them and they still lookin like new.

i would go zillas for sure
