I have the silverbacks on my outlander (28") and I love them. I find they are better in the winter then the outlaws because of them being more rounded. The outlaws paddle better in water. Seen it happen many times when I guy gets stuck in a water hole and high entered then jump off the quad and the tires will push enough water that he can walk the quad out. Doesn't happen with silverbacks. I think the silverbacks last longer. I find my tires spin a lot in 2wd. Because there is less contact patch on the ground the tire will just spin instead of doing wheelies.

Bottom line is the are both great tires and you won't go wrong with either if you are looking for a mud tire. But I do like my silverbacks.

I've got silverbacks on my XMR and I think they are all right but the paddles are a bit stiff and they don't side hill worth a crap. I just heard terminators are a nice mud tire to buy as the paddles are not as ridged and not as prone to snap your axles as silverbacks. :beer::thumb:

this tire just came out about a month or two ago... JD Rockets are out of eastern canada here actually.... the juggernut is different and made by a different company... these right now are proving as a big winner.... cause of less weight and rotational mass... 9 people i know have now switched to this tire....2 people here in alberta and the rest down in the south... although running crushlocks is only for serious mud running and not good at all for trail riding cause the tire is so stiff when wrapped all the way around...
