Status: offline 		I LOVED my 27x14 XTRs, I would have gotten them in 30" if they offered it. I liked them that much. They are now on my wifes KQ. I put 340miles on them in all types of terrain with very very little wear. They ride smooth, and do great in all terrain. I'd go with XTRs without a doubt.

Status: offline 		Zillas are a very capable tire and much lighter than the rest. I have 27 inch and they are 10 lbs lighter each than the other tires mentioned and a excellent in mud, snow and even sand. Not to mention the trail friendly lug setup of the tire.  I think Maxxis hit a home-run with the design. Wear is not bad at all contrary to rumors that were un-founded and started because the rubber was soft. It is flexible but made with a compound that is also very durable. 
 
Best tire on the market if you ask me.

Status: offline 		XTRs they are the better tire in almost everything, the only tire that I think might be better then them in the trail/mud category is the MST. Since you have 14" wheels the MSTs are out. The main reason I think the XTRs work so good is that its a radial tire, far better construction. The Zillas are the lightest but they also measure short, by about an inch I have heard. All the XTRs I have had experience with have measured true.
