Default Mudbugs vs 589's vs Mudlite XL

I have an 07' Grizzly 660, and I was wondering which of these would perform best in deep mud and trails.

After reading numerous ATV boards, I have yet to see anyone post anything bad about mudbugs. I think that's what I'll go for next.

I ride muddy trails here with some buddies and a few of them have mudlites XL ... I have yet to be impressed by these tires, the mudlite XTR is anopther story, but the XL isnt really great imo. Of course its a good upgrade from stock tires, but if you consider doing trails that will muddy a bit (not mud bogs...) but just normal mud on popular trails.... I'd recommend the 589 or the mudlite XTR, might wanna consider the new terracross also. I dont knwo the mud bug so I wont comment on them. My GF has gators and they do good also, but are heavier.

my 2 cents

how heavy are they, i hope not too heavy. dont want it to loose alot of power or have the belt slip because the tires are so heavy. have you been able to compare them to 589's or anything?
