I would guess, less than 65. I had a 800 and got about 10-11 MPG. The X2 is 72 lbs heavier. So, the MPG may drop a little! Only speculation though!

yea but inst. remember the most important thing to tell them on the milage. it all depends on the right thumb and how heavy it seems to get w/ all that power. i only avg about 8 mpg when playing hard. first thing you do w/ an 800 is bye extra gas cans and carry them w/ you.

I think that helps my 800 case. I must have riden it easy, as I have always claimed, to get better MPG. LOL!!! I get about 8.5 on my MV, it is 1000 lbs and 28" tires with Orange spring. I am happy with the MV mileage, considering the setup!

Instigator -

How'd ya like those Zillas?
How do they compare to Mud Lites
or Swamp Lites? I am assuming by looking
at the size and tread of the tire that its prodominately
a mud tire?

Mudlite's I am familiar with but the other's I am not. IMO, the mudlite's are a nice stock replacement tire. The Mudzilla's are not in the same "class" as the mudlite's The mudzilla's appear to be mostly a "mud" tire, but I have to admit, they are not all that bad on hard pack. I can easily rip and throw some earth on the unlucky rider behind me, when we are trail riding and come to a slighlt mud puddle. Of course they aren't as cushy as most other tires, but they work extremely well in rock, ruts, river bottom, snow, gravel, and obviously mud. I have yet to ee terrain that these were nt good in. (Disclaimer- do not make sharp turns in yard or ride in yard when it is wet. Severe terrain damage WILL occur and Instigater inc. shall not be held responsible for any such actions) These things perform in all the types of riding that we do. There is not a tire better suited for my needs. I am willing to put up with the slight vibration on hard pack so, that when a mud hole comes I can play! "IF" the outlaw is a better mud tire(never seen it in action) there is no way that it will perform on all the other terrains INCLUDING hard pack as good as these. I would call the Outlaws a true mud tire. I believe that they are only good in mud, unlike the Zilla's.

The place I want to go to is where trout fall from the sky and you catch it with your ATV.
