I'm need to get a new set of tires for my Rhino 700 SE and am having trouble deciding. I don't have much experience with aftermarket tires and this will be my first set. I live in northern MN and most of my riding is around our hunting shack where we have hard packed trails with many swamps to get through. I'm looking for a tire that will drive nice on the trails and be able to pull me through some nasty swamps. I also don't want to make any modifications to the rhino if at all possible. I have narrowed my choices down to three.
Zillas (27" they run small) - These seem like the perfect tire, light with an aggressive tread pattern. My biggest concern is the overall strength of this tire. With it being a lightweight tire how will it hold up on a heavy side by side?
Mudlite XTR (26") - I like the idea of these radials, but am concerned about mud performance and sidewall strength. I have read complaints on the web about thin sidewalls and rough trail riding. Also, this tire does seem to be a bit on the heavy side, will I notice a difference over the stock rhino setup?
Outlaw MST (26") - I don't know much about these tires so they are sort of a wildcard for me. I have heard great things about the original outlaws performance in mud and tire strength. How heavy are these tires? Are they any good compared to the others mentioned?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
