look at the 2 tires side by side.

now tell us which one you think might perform a bit better in mud.

could it possibly be the one with the less agressive tread or the one with massive tread with "MUD" in its name?

hmm...

zillas in my opinion




You like those cause that 300 wouldn't turn the MUDzillas.  Is this even a serious question?  The mudzillas will anyday, in any situation, under any conditions, beat the zillas in the mud.  Hands down.  Now go tell your buddy that.  It's like trying to say the MST will out perform the outlaw.  It's like talkin bout chewbacca.  It just don't make any sense.

Sounds to me like you need to cut your thumb off, it is your problem. Assuming you didn't stuff tires much too large for the quad (someone fitting 32's on a 450, it CAN be done, but too much stress), as long as you take it easy you shouldn't have problems. I've known tons of people who have ran laws, mudzillas, bi/tris, sbacks, etc with not problems. Throttle control is key. There are plenty of people on here running these types of tires with no problems at all.

Nope....Not Joking!  Sorry if you didn't agree.

I really two dont like the tires and just get laws thats what i did and im never going back .Like what people said the MUDzilla's are for mudd but you can take them on trail but you wont be happy and the ZILLA'S are for people who like to ride trail and still do some mudding . Thats how i'd say it

Well i havent had the zilla's but i had the MUDzilla's clone the mud b's and they just DUG and DUG so since the zilla's are lighter and not a big lug depth i figured they wouldnt be as bad as mudzilla's and kind of thought that they would sort of push and not dig as much as zilla's did . I may be wrong but i really disliked the mud b's just giving my input to help .

I've ran them, and if you don't watch the throttle, sure you will end up in China. Take it easy, let the tires work like they are meant to do, and even in stuff without a solid bottom they will pull through. I don't see why Mudzillas would be any different. It's all about throttle control. There may be a few situations the Zillas would outperform the Mudzillas, but in MOST situations involving mud the Mudzillas will come out on top.
