While the Mudlites are a good trail tire they are not a serious mud tire like the Zillas or Laws. I had some 26" XL Mudlites and they don't compare to my Zillas in the mud. Also the Mudlites wear to fast for me I had them for about 350 miles and the center lugs wore bad as you can see in this picture.

Don't Forget about Tri-claws, but I don't think they come in under 26 or 27 inches.
