I've never had the Mudbugsand I have never heard anything bad about them. It seems every tire out there have people that love or hate them but I have never heard anyone "bad mouth" the Mudbugs.

I'd go with the 26" Maxxis Zilla's (not Mudzilla) You could even consider the Bighorns, though I'd get 25" ones as they measure about 26".

I personally have 25" Duro Power Grips (Bighorn knock-offs for 1/2 the price) and I love them! The price was right at the time, Rocky Mountain ATV had free shipping (Currently Rocky Mountain is offering free shipping over $99 spent!)
when purchasing 4 tires. And they had $100 off a $400 order. So I ordered the tires and a few things for my brother in law and I took all of the $100 off (he is a cheap so it was my turn to take advantage of him - haha) In the end I paid $180 for all 4 tires!

Power Grip ATV Tires

The power grips do suprisingly well in the muck! I go through mud in 2wd that my stock tires took 4wd!

My next tire will most likely be the 26" Maxxis Zilla's as these Duro powergrips used to require me to air up each ride (they'd loose 1-2 psi over night!) But with the bead sealer on the rims - they now loose 1-2 psi over a week.
