We are starting to get reports of early tread wear similar to Mudlites. Anytime you have a really light, soft tire that sits on lugs that have narrow edges, you will get pre-mature wear if you hard surface ride on a regular basis.

Zillas have been holding really great. A lot of people talk abut quick wearing. I bet you every dollar in my wallet that I have rode my Mazzis Zilla's on the road more then anybody. I have about 600 road miles on my zilla's.
Yes road miles. I have about 1300 miles on them total. Farm is 5miles away on pavement road. If you are wanting these tires and are scared of the wearing I was the same way. Go ahead, and by them. They are holding great for me. Also you can look at some MST'S or 599's both wear good too.

Would 28x11x14 all the way around do good on a 450 kingquad or would the 9's up front be better.
