Im gonna stick with zillas but they only come in 28x10x12 and 28x12x12 , how do you think the 10s would look and work ???? i dont wanna put 12 wide on the front because ive been told they would be hard on alot of parts but I want to keep them all the same width

That new XLite-Silverback looks like Garbage. Everything that made silverback one of the top mud tires has been removed. No more wrap around lugs, no more 2" paddles.

Um....I don't think "garbage" is the right choice of words. Obviously they are going after the Zilla market. Can't have a light tire with 2" wraparound lugs....

Anything with the word lite or light means it's probably junk. I know my 27 Mudlites on my Rhino are garbage.

Mudlites are junk. Zillas ("Mudzilla light") are a great tire. I'm tempted to try the Xlite SB's....but I'll get another season out of the Zillas.

Im thinking after this past weekend putting the dalton kit in, those Xlite silverbacks on this xmr, would be just what it needs to wheelie the sucker, got the front end off the ground a bit now, just cant sustain it, or get it any higher... too much weight

I don't understand why so many people say mudlites are junk, they work pretty good on my kvf 700 but i use my quad a lot for work. They are awesome in snow and seem to do alright in mud. If i was only using my quad for bogging i would for sure have more aggressive tires but for all around use they are great.

The tread isn't too too bad...we just found we couldn't keep air in the darn things...always had a hole in 'em. The v-tread does plug quicker than a staggered tread like a Mudbug or Zilla.

RZRGade might have better input as he's a UTV guy....I don't see why it wouldn't work....he runs 30x11x14 all 'round on the super-RZR...
