28" zilla vs 27" XTR
ok, im sure there are a hundred of these threads but i wanted some opinions anyway.
The terathons are not cutting in on the 850 so i have narrowed down the search between 28" zillas or 27" XTR's.
what im wondering is how will either do on trail/mud/ and rocks? what i mean by rocks is maybe not rock crawling, but riding over them in creeks, mud holes, and trails. I guess what im getting out is will either perform as well as the Outlaw MST's? my buddy has them and he goes through everything that we usually ride in.
i know from the Manufacturers website that the weight difference between the two will be about 21lbs. (28x11x14, 28x9x14 vs the same in 27" for the XTR's with the XTR's being heavier)
this is what we usually ride around in... and yes i know the pics of a grizzly, dont have any good ones of any of my polaris' going through the stuff.
so which ones do you guys think would be best and maybe more puncture resistant?

The XTRs are pretty true to size,the 27's are very close to 27". My only real complaint about the XTRs were the weight and the lack of quality control on the ITP tires(common to get tires that jump,wobble ect. They do pretty well otherwise,especially for not being a outright mud tire. Mainly due to the weight I think my next tire will be Zillas.

What's wrong with the 2.0's for the type of riding you do?

Nothing at all for 99% of the places I ride. This one trail system we recently started riding has some nasty holes,with no way around them.....the 2.0s did suprisingly well,but I'd feel a little better on that trail with a more mud specific tire. I'll be keeping the BHs and have a set of Zillas for the muddier rides.
