I've had both and will never use Mudlites again. The sidewalls seem to slice like butter. By the time I got rid of them they had a total of 11 plugs. I've had the Swamplites for over 1000 miles and they wear well (if you do little pavement) and ride well without the plugs. They are also taller.
As far as the XTR's, I've heard good things about them but they are a little salty.
Hope this helps
Buck

Can small sidewall cuts / abraisions be successfully plugged?. I have a very small leak from a sidewall cut and was thinking I would have to replace the tire.

The plugs I used in my siedwalls lasted quite a few miles. I'd say 500+. I had six in one slice.

I have 1500 on my swamplites (look at pics) and they still look new. Best tire around, in my opinion. If you want to ride tar roads alot, swamplites will wear down fast. But i dont, and i bet these tires are on this quad when i trade it in a couple more years with plenty of tread.

I had the mud lites on my rubicon and i never liked them.
I just put the swamp lites on my 700 kawi and i love them.
i had mud zillas but thay were getting old so i put the swamp lites on.
the one thing i notest was the 27" are as tall as my 28" zillas. i guess its the way thay messure there hight.
and i also weighed both sets and the rear zillas were 43lbs and thay were half worn out.
and the rear swamp lites were37lbs thats a big differance in weight.
the front zillas were 39lbs and the lites were 34lbs.
that was useing a bathroom scale but thats close enough.
that shows how thick the zillas are.
i loved the zillas but the swamplites are just as good and alot lighter.
i would hate to see the 28" swamplites if the 27s are as tall as my 28"zillas.
ill post a pic of the new zillas after im done here.
okay im done.
