Default Best tires for trail riding?

Wanting some new tires for my 2012 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO AWD. I do mostly trail riding and small mud holes. I think I want more of an all terrain tire.

What are your opinions?

Thanks!

Terracross, Bighorns, Grim Reapers, Pitbull Rockers (they would be quite heavy for your ride though). I run Terracrosses and like them a lot for fast trail riding

I bought a set of Kenda BearClaw HTR's about a month ago and love 'em.

Mudlite 3 lug heights types

"AT" For general trail riding.

"XL" For general trail riding with some nasty mud sections.

"XXL" More for Mud and abit on the rough ride side for smoother general trail rides.

All are 6 ply.

I've had the maxxis zilla's for a couple months now and love them. They'll go through about anything, but you lose some of the fun factor if you like sliding around corners. They really bite hard. The carlisle ACT's that came stock were a great all around tire that did everything well but no one thing flawlessly. One plus with the ACT is they're light weight radials which really improve the ride and handling. If it weren't for the fact that I encounter deep bogs on occasion I might have went with another set of them.
