I have the swamplites. I started out with the 27s. When I got them all on the bike I could tell the fronts looked to be a little smaller then the rear tires even though they were all 27". I measured them from the ground up and all had the same air pressure in them and found the fronts were 3/4 of an inch smaller than the rears. Riding in 4wd can cause issues with a difference like that so I ordered two 28" tires for the rear just to see if they will work. When I put the 28s on,they were the exact same size as the rear 27s,so I just decided to go with 28s all the way a round as they only come in 28"tall, 10"wide, 12"rim. which I like alot better. The 28s have larger lugs,that was the only difference. They were the same size as the 27s.
On another note,they have been a great tire for all applications. I would think the Zillas would be a better mud tire if thats what your looking for. I have 1,700miles on my swamplites and i have at least 3/4ths of an inch tread left,if not a little more. The good thing with going with the same size is that you can switch them from the front to the rear and keep the tread wearing evenly for longer life. I switch them once a year.
