I'd say there one of the best all around tires out there, I have 30s on my renegade and 28s on my rzr xp, use them both for trail riding then switch up to my laws on the gade and terms on the rzr, MUDZILLAS SUCK!!! Heavy and just clog, the zilla's how ever are light clean out well and are a well made tire even on a 1100lb sxs that does 90mph most of the time lol

I have had them for about 2 years now and still look new. I ride with a group that roll nothing but Outlaws and Vampires and I follow pretty well for an "all-Terrain" tire. Now, I am not saying that I can go everywhere the Outlaw, Silverback, Mamba, EDL, etc. can go, but the Zillas are an awesome all around tire that will impress :imo :shrug:

I am thinking about going to the Outlaw2's though :crazy:

28x9x14 & 28x11x14

I road them in sand, dirt trails, nasty mud, and water crossings...I loved them in everything I did...but now that you mention it they weren't AMAZING in sand :okay2:

Lots of sand here too, and tires must be 14" too. Polaris 550xp and 850xp's you have to run 14" wheel, was thinking of 9" Zillas in front and 11" in back, being my 550 is a 2009, they have to be 11" wide or less or it will rub unless you get aftermarket wheels.

i love my 29.5in outlaws on my grizzly 660.... if i didnt like them so much id get mud lites.

29.5 2's or 31" outlaws is the only way to go on an xp. Or check out the outlaw radials. Swamplites are my second favorite if they are over 28" tall with the 1.5" lugs. Those tires will climb any damn thing and and are unstoppable in hard bottom holes. My 850 is pretty much unstoppable with 31's and a 3" lift...until I break an axle lol

I wanted too, but I believe they're too wide on stock wheels on a 2009.

I ran 30" Zillas on my Grizz 700 for over a year and really had no complaints. I went anywhere my buddies on 31s went, just took a little more effort. I've since sold them and went with 31" laws. I rode a lot of mud, river rides, hard packed trails, etc and they did good everywhere for what they were.

lol some people... zillas the atv version of thornbird?? i would say mudlites are the atv version of thornbird. zillas are awesome tires. the only thing i dont like about zillas is how thin they are and they puncture easy. they are a great lightweight tire that perform very good in all terrains. if you want a tougher tire that will perform better, but dont want an all out mud tire like an outlaw/silverback... look into the outlaw radials.

If I get radials I would need rear spaces...thoughts on spacers?

Not a huge fan here, some people run them with zero issues, but I rather to just buy the correct offset wheels IMO

Might do that, still trying thinking though. My neighbor has swamplites on his ranger, not that impressed with them.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Zillas. Now the MUDzilla sucks ass. I've seen it first hand. My 2wd Eiger on 26" MudLites made it through shit he couldn't with his 28s, and yes, some of it was the rider. I'm not the best by any means, but I can ride.

A lot of people think they're the same tire, so they think/say the Zillas suck, but they're totally different.
