Exclamation Maxis Zilla Tires

I have Swamp fox tires on my 05 polaris sportsman 500 HO. My brother has a 07 Arctic Cat 700 efi. He has kenda executioner mud tires on it. he is convinced that the executioners are shakeing the he!! out of it. Every week there is something different he has to replace mostly he has to replace ball joints. So my question is is this true and will he be better with swamp fox tires or with Maxis Zilla's. I have heard they are mud tires but never had them before. Are they a good tire? Do they shake ya? I can get them pretty cheap at MOTORCYCLE-SUPERSTORE. i get all my stuff here. They are really good on prices and returns. Anything you return is $6. I experienced this the hard way when i ordered 4 tires and they were the wrong size.Ups said it would cost $150 to ship but i only paid $6. So go check them out and please help me answer this question.
Sincerely, Polaris man with issues

I run zillas and really like them. They go through everything and handle nice. I think the AC has issues other than tires though. Has he checked the wheel bearings? If there is a lot of play there that would explain a lot. I ran 29.5 laws with a 6" lift on my 05 800 and only had to replace ball joints once in 4 years. Went through a few sets of bearings though. Have him jack it up and see how much play there is. Might just be a loose axle nut and worst case he needs bearings which aren't bad to replace.

Zillas all the way man. Just got mine today they look sweet. I will be mounting them Thursday and testing them that day as well. Looks like it will be a snow test, so will see how they work out. The ones I bought are 27s they are light as hell, so I'm stoked to see what the power can will be compared to the stock tires I had on there. Anyways Zillas so far are pretty sweet I'll drop some info and pics when I get the mounted and tested.
