Post zillas lug size?? and weight comparison

ok manual eiger with 26 XTRs. those are some heavy tires. i lost a lot of power and then did a dynojet kit and got alot back but not enough.

for where i usually ride i thought i had it pretty normal but when i wnt to hatfield mccoy wow did i notice how much power i had really lost. especially goin up those switchbacks in first gear in such and every other gear if i let off the throttle i would have to start over again. so ive done wieghts and all together my xtrs weigh about 60 or so pounds more all the way around then stock. so ive come to conclusion thats my problem. i love the xtrs for mud and their smooth ride and puncture resistance. how do the zillas stack up to them.? i know they are extremely light and i am thinking about 26s or 27s.

how big is a zillas lug. xtrs are like inch and a eighth. i lookin for around that much.

and one more question how much do you think i could sell my xtrs for? 500 miles about and inch of tread left and where to sell?

Looks like the total weight difference between the XTR's and the Zillas are about 28lbs if you're talking 9" fronts and 11" rear. The lugs for the zilla are listed as 1.2".
Remember you're comparing apples to oranges when talking these tires. One is a radial and the other isn't. two different rides. Although I've never had a radial (can't see in the prices for an off-road vehicle) I can say I like my new Zillas alot.
Hope this helps.
Buck

Radials ride smoother and the sidewall flexes to your terrain. Meaning if you're on an off-camber hill (sideways) the sidewall will flex to help keep more of the tread pattern on the ground.
