i run the 32's of those.. seem to be pretty good.. dont have the sidewall lugs tho like some other brands (good for crawling out of rutts).. but they seem to dig in and push through mud quite nicely and arent that noisey on the sealed road...

but i am no tyre expert :D

umm, are you sure you're talking about the right tah? mudzillas dont come in 32's and have huge sidewall lugs :wink:

they are a very good tah offroad. excellent traction. Onroad they wear very fast.

http://4wdbits.co.nz/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=119 they are $360 each on 4wdbits.

I would look at buying a set in 33" for the secret project, but I dont have any $$$ so I guess ill stick to the old SAT's for now :(

Great tah's for the mud, not so good on sidelings coz they like to slide to the left or right. will do this on some tracks, trick is to keep them moving, make sure you get tubes as they don't start to get any decent tread until you get them below 10psi. If you are doing longer trips get a second set of more road based muddies. they don't really like slippery rock either, if you are reversing with them then you need lots of wheel spin, these tyres work best thru bogs when you have them spinning fast.

Brilliant off road. I had Maxxis Buckshots on the whale before switching to Mudzillas and the increase in traction in the mud was immense. If you are going to be doing a lot of on road kms then you are best to either have a second set of tyres to put on for the road running or getting MTR's or something. They tend to chew out a bit on the road. The new Maxxis Bighorns look like a good compromise between a MT and a Mudzilla.

Have you looked at the kumho kl71's they seem to be getting great reviews and seem to work well on lots of different surfaces..
