Can't decide on what tires to get....
I was strongly set on ITP XTRS, but I've changed my mind once again. I think since I do a lot of trail riding, and mud riding once I encounter it. I'm set on the ITP Blackwater Evolutions. I think I'm going to get those. They're a tough tire it being an 8 ply tire, its sidewall is pretty stout and puncture resistance. Since its a radial construction, should be less prone to sidewall damage like the XTRs were.
I don't need a pure mud tire like the Outlaw or Silverback, or I don't want a pure trail tire like the Bighorns are, something of both worlds into one. Thats real hard to make or even find one out there.
Either the ITP Blackwater Evolutions, ITP XTR's, Maxxis Zillas, or the Maxxis Mud Bugs. Those are my options in that order.
Maybe someone can chime in of what I should get and why?
Thanks.

Two things they are not radials and they are more mud orientated with 1.19" tall lugs once there over 25".
They only vibrate at slow speeds on hard packed, once you get the speed up they smoothen out even on hard packed.
Slow on soft dirt is comfortable.
I chose them because they are 6 ply and the lightest mud tire made. The 26" weigh the same or less then most 25" tires.
Here is a good site for all tire specs. http://www.mud-throwers.com/atv_mud_tires
I just focused on "lug height" and "tire weight" and "price" and Maxxis Zillas had all 3.
Here is a example. Both 6ply.
XTR 26x11-12, 32lbs 1.12" lug $150
Zillas 26x11-12, 23.3lbs 1.19"lug $110
