i wouldn't get mudlights or excutioners and if you don't really care about the ride i would try mudzillas, 589s or zillas and the 589s run short

if it were me i would run 26" zilla's on a 300, as they are super light, and you will still have plenty of power to turn them, just my opinion

i think you should go with 27" zillas and if you want mudzillas 26" and it should turn them good

well i have a 350 suped up and all and i can pull 29.5 outlaws but it is realy hard to turn through mud but i would suggest itp mulites if guys come around to were we ride you can see the difference itp makes with us get some 26or 27 but if u get anything over that they will do nothing but dig you a hole in the ground

vampires wear kinda slowely but mudzillas wear like steal they will last you a good while and if you can find some dirt devil xt's they work pretty good in mud my friend got them when he got his quadrunner and he could follow me thru anything in 4x4 that my laws could go thru in 2x4 and they wear slowly to

Vamps are suppose to be decent on the trials and really good climbers

I had 27" Vamps and 26" Gators on my 300. both were great but I really liked the Vampires. So theres my vote backed with experience.

And if you do over 50% trail, the Dirt devils are great.

if you DO ride cement a lot Id suggest 589's they wear great.

Wilster123 in your original post you said you wanted a 70% mud tire. In that case I say Vampires. MSTs, Mudlites and DD's are NOT 70% mud tires.
