These are the tires I've narrowed my search too. I'm not to serious about the bug's, and I know they are a good tire. What I'm looking for in a tire is good wear and not to be left behind in the mud. I currently have excavator's from duro, they are an awesome tire all around except in the really thick mud. I would deffinately stick with these tires if I wouldn't got ripped off by a seller on ebay. Supposed to be 26x8x12and26x12x12 but they measure 24.5x8and24.5x9.5 the tires say 26x8x12 & 26x12x12 but they are not. I don't know what the true height measurements others have, but I did measure the 12's on someone else's bike and they were 12"wide and the height was quite a bit more. I'm leaning towards the executioner's but don't know about the weight. Haven't really heard anything about the xtr's because they are so new. I also like the act's for their smoothness but how are they in mud?

 

i would either go with the kenda executioner or maxxis mud bug

 

For mud, the Mud Bug is the top performer, followed by the executioner and mudlite.
