Default Tire question

I have two 2006 Rubicons. One has 26-10x12's MudLite tires all the way around , the other has Mudlite Radial XTR's 26-9r12 on front and 26-12r12 on rear.

I was going to get some swampers but all the reviews I can find say the swampers actually don't perform as well in mud as what I have.

I am looking for the best mud performance. What's you guys with more experience got to say on the subject?

Should I just go Radial XTR's on both and be done? They seem to dig better in the mud than the regular MudLites.

XTRs get a good rap from most owners. I also hear good about the new dirt devil 2, and the Gators

the best mud performing tires would have to be zillas, and laws. after that probly gators,bugs,executioners,bi/tri. outlaws have a mst tire which rides alot smoother but is descent in mud too. looks like the swamp lights i think. there are too many chooses out there, which in my opinion are all better than mud lights.( in the mud)

Thanks for the info... I am going to have to find someone wanting to buy sme used mud lites so I can get some better mud tires. The MudLites are doing fair but I recently rode with a guy with mudzillas on the exact same 4wheeler as me. He made the mud look much easier even though I did not get stuck.

Anyone need to buy a set of stock tires? j/k :-) I got two sets of them that are gonna dry rot in the barn before I put em back on mine. :-)

The single BADDEST mus tires out there are Vampires. I have 27' on my grizzly 700, I can almost submerge that machine and get out in 2WD........ but there are some drawbacks, you lose top end and alot of power.... If you have the motor for them, you cant beat them.
