I run the maxxis zilla which are great in mud and snow but have a little vibration if running on hard surfaces like dirt roads and pavement. From the reviews ive seen the sti black diamonds look to be my next tire. radial 8ply aggressive tread but smooth ride. Seem to be a great all condition tire. heard a lot of good things about them.

Cool

I would have gotten Dirt Devil's on all four but they only had my fronts in size. For price I'd say Amazon is your best choice (free shipping too) and possibly TireDirect.

my only concerns about reptiles are in mud and snow seeing as how the tread doesn't look really aggressive.they also seem heavy.ichecked out the sti black diamonds and have 2 throw them into the mix also.
