If I were to do that sort of riding, I would have to give the ITP Swamplites or ITP Mudlites a try. I see alot of them on the trails that I go on. I am more into aggressive mud bogging, that is why I don't have them! I am sure that they would do pretty good in the mud. Pretty good, isn't good enough for me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Instigater is right, the Swamplites (Interco, not ITP) are great in the mud, but they arent the best. Ive had to work in some deep mud that i wouldnt have worked as hard if i had like mudzillas, or a straight mud tire. But for your riding, they would be perfect. Look at my pics to see them

I have the PXT's and went through all the same crap my buddies vinson did and he had 589"s.
26x8's and 26x11's
So far so good. For mixed conditions they work great so far.
We were runnin in bogs with about 3" of soft ice over 1 to 3 feet of water and then that stinky swamp mud.
We call it the sippy hole and made it most of the time except when you get hung up on one of the stumps
that are submerged in there.

No problems with this thing yet - still pretty new but I hope my luck holds.
Absolutley no issues with polaris yet.
