I'm gonna have to vote for Super Swamper Vampire TSL! I just replaced my 26" Bearclaws with the 25" TSL Vamps and their night and day! you simply can't get stuck.. Just got done plowing out from that big snow storm than hit the east coast and I'll tell you those tires BITE. I was pushing that 60" blade like a full size chevy lol.. Can't wait till spring to get out in the mud. incidentally I took a spin around the neighborhood as well and they weren't lumpy like I expected them to be. felt pretty much the same as the bear claws. maybe a little lump from the fronts at very slow speeds but nothing serious..

And... if anybody here is in the Maritimes (pickup only) and your looking for Interco stuff I'm a distributer of their ATV stuff (by default). I'm in the Automotive tire biz and got hooked up for their truck tires. I have Condor alloy wheels as well.

I can get anything BUT the Swamp Lites as somebody else has an agreement with them. but I hear they wear fast anyway, but that's just what I've read.

if you've got the money to spend then get the Maxxis Bighorns. If you're on a budget then try the Kenda Bearclaws. I just ordered a set from Rocky mountain ATV for 196.93 shpped to my door! You just can't beat that price and the tires are awesome!

I am looking into the Bighorns and the Bearclaws and just cant make up my mind if the bighorns are worth all the extra money or not. But I am not sure the bighorns will go in the mud like the Bearclaws will. I think the Bearclaws would probably be the best all around tire.

IMO radials are worth it. the bighorns are premium $, but you can find other radials that are less $ and compete with the claws in mud while giving a better ride/handling.

Thanks for all the advice I just put the new mud lite xtr on my rincon this saturday and rode sunday and they are nice. It was very muddy and I only put it in 4x4 twice to get out of a hole up to my seat. My vote now is for the mudlite xtr's and they ride good an hard ground
