We use our atv 8 months of the year 7 days a week. Do about 4 miles a day on asphalt and the rest in the tundra through sand, rocks, swamp,and bad mud. I've narrowed my choices down to:
Mudzilla
Goodyear Mud Runner
Swampfox Plus
Mud Bug R M967

So which one would be the most comfortable with the least wear? Plus be better for my situation. Oh and we have 7-8 months of snow.
We use to run 26" Bi-Claws for 10 years but they don't offer them anymore.

 

bugs or mud runners would be a good choice. zillas are great mud tires and wear great but them and asphault just dont like each other.

 

Done
I just ordered the 26" Goodyear Mud Runners

 

Opps... You forgot the best one "Lug-Gear", and they wear like iron. Too bad you already order before checking these out.

I ordered the Mudgear 26" kit

 

Believe it or not side lugs can be hairy at times. The only real benefit is if you are at a 45 degree angle and need to grab something. They can be dangerous on the back I have seen the rear grab a small rut and actually loft the rear out of the rut and turn the bike sideways and the guy rolled it as a result - he was only going about 15mph too. I definately would be very careful if I had side lugs on the rear - that is why I don't. I have them on the front and sometimes it makes you feel like 'radial walk' nothing really earth shaking but it can keep your attention. It is the little ruts, 1" and 2" that do it. If you are booking at 40 - 45 it definately will get your attention. I do mostly woods and slow articulate stuff, so I am not so concerned with it. But if I did a lot of faster riding I would not have the side lug on the front and never on the back.

In the mud I don't see a real big benefit. You can turn your handlebars toward a wall in a rut, and you are rarely at an angle to need to grab something from the side while in mud.

Good for you, you will like them, read my last post and keep it in mind. The rear is the most concerning. Believe me the side lugs will grab stuff - even clay, they are pointed and will dig in really quick and agressively. Be carefull until you get used to them. Just keep an eye on the small ruts, especially if you are cruising at a quick pace.
With the slow stuff you will love them. All you need to do is to lean your tire into something and they will grab it, logs, stumps, banks, rocks etc. The 26" are deep treaded and agressive but also smooth on the trail and work really good in all terrains.
You may notice when new they may want to wander a little on hard surface especially asphault. Just give the tread time to wear down and even out a tad, to tune up with your camber. That could take some time because they wear like iron, but they grip more like a softer compound.

Mudbugs and XTR's don't even come close to LugGear's. Actually I don't think even MudZilla's can out perform LugGear in the mud. Take a closer look at the tread and the 1/2 high solid bar between the deep tread - we are talking a very serious mud tire here not a 'want-to-be'.... and the deep hollow wells in the lugs... wow!!! Want to get your buddies dirty just spin these babies once at them and they will need a shovel to dig themselves out.
