They are an older model tire, haven't seen them in a while,


Talked to a guy with terminator tires, said they where rough at any speed.

These are an awesome tire, great mud traction forward or reverse. Ride like a radial, no bump even at low speed on concrete. 6 or 8 ply can't remember and they wear like iron.

Here ya go Larry.

ITP Tire & Wheel Company today announced the launch of the all-new Mammoth Mayhem mud tire.
The latest addition to the ITP Mayhem line of mud tires, the 32-inch Mammoth Mayhem sports an extra-deep, two-inch lug for maximum thrust through the deepest muck and mud. The mammoth-sized claws are designed to propel ATVs and side-by-sides continuously forward, while channeling the mud out of the tire tread.

"We know mud boggers sometimes have to ride miles on a hard-packed trail to get to their favorite mud hole," Turpin said. "Like all the tires in our Mayhem line, the Mammoth's carcass construction and directional tread pattern deliver a remarkably smooth ride on the trail for a tire in this category."
The Mammoth is also considerably lighter than most big mud tires on the market today. "It's all about maintaining horsepower," Turpin said. "A lighter tire uses less horsepower so you can transfer more engine power to your forward motion."

The outlaw radial would be your best tire, followed closely by a terminator....
Zillas are great but I would want beadlock rims due to there softer rim compound.

I still love my 30 inch zillas though! You can step into it and not worry about snapping chit....
Keep in mind a 52 inch wide 800 lb quad is easier on tires/beads than a 1500 lb 62 inch UTV.

Larry just buy some OLR 30's and I will drink your beer and tell you , "wise choice young man".....

thank god i don't get on your downside!!! lol. beers are on ice for the summer. as long as arff don't drink em all in one night. lol

Anyone running Roctanes? Likely my choice this yr.

I had 29.5 terminators ( measured 28" @ 12# ) and they were good. Smooth over 5 mph and lots of traction. I was concerned that rock riding with my heavy T4 would chew them up so I sold them unfortunately.

so i was reading the atv rider online, tire review on mud tires.

outlaws were there favouite over all tire,
terminators slight edge on gorillas.

vampires
mudzilla's
mudbitch


pretty much any dedicated mud tire will be better in mud than a trail tire.

outlaws seem to be regarded as a fairly good trail tire, expensive.


most of the suds buds guys like

zillas for an all round trail tire, mud oriented
xtr's
gators
mud bugs
bear claws


589's, bighorns all round tire, rocky. gravely terain oriented
xtr's

If Bearclaws came with a lug larger than .8 and talelr than 27" I would be all over them, have them on my 2wd moto4 and like them very much.

Sooooooo the best all around tire for mud and trail riding. Not too heavy , not too lumpy , wears good, works in rocks sounds and..... the biggy doesn't break axles or diffs, sounds like a piece of cake. This is a highly contested item and opinions will vary from OL2's to silverbacks to terms. Gonna try out monster mayhems in 30" next week as I got a set I can try out. Never rode silverbacks or Outlaws but their just too heavy for a trail tire. JMO. So what's next mega Mayhems ??? Too damn heavy ??? JMO Zillas in 30" measure about 29.5" super light and enough traction and clearance to take on most of the riding except for the most nasty stuff 30" fronts weigh 25-26 pounds and rears weigh 28-30 pounds Very little loss in acceleration and they dig Not too lumpy I have had them up to 70 mph no problems and they don't break stuff. JMO.

Go with 14's. Clearance between the rotor and rim on a 12" is way too tight....I've seen a few busted up rims due to rocks and debris getting wedged in. I think you're going to want Zillas, not Mudzillas...totally different tire.
