Mud Lite XTR vs. Swamp Lite

[Sweigh]

Very simple question. Both tires have come up in past posts. I know there are riders on here for both. Which is best? it's either one or the other for me.

Myself I would stick to the XTR's, the Swamp lights are too choppy and give a rougher ride. All around the XTR's have a good rating.

Either one is way better than what the machines come with stock. For a stock tire right from factory polaris though has a pretty good tire. Had a set of bear claws before and the stupid things kept going flat. Have the xtr's on the brute and love them for all the different terrain i ride.

i posted a similar question a few weeks ago ...ended up going with the xtrs and love them ...super traction and still ride smooth on roads and trails.

I went with the Swamp lites....well cause I just don't like the XTR I see everyone with a 14" rim runs them I am not all that impressed. As for the smooth ride all I can say is HUH? you guys riding up and down the hiway? I have yet to see a smooth enough trail where the tires would make a difference. I even drove with a flat tire and the ride was still unchanged wasn't till someone told me it was flat was how I found out

I have a sportsman 500 with mud lites, and a sportsman 700 with swamp lites. I prefer the swamp lites.

I have 3 quads with swamp lites, all for the wife and kids. They did not effect handling whats so ever. They are much cheaper. Go good in the mud and snow , they are not very good in the sand at Bural. I myself love the mud bugs, very good in mud, snow and sand, also allow better power slides in corners.

And they didnt test the Swamp Lites (isnt one of the shows sponser the makers of that Bud Lite tire???). I find them agresive and all around better tire in my opinion but the 27s have half the lug the 28s do.
