Picking up the Zilla 28's for my "piped up" Bombardier 800 today. My old 589's are gone and the Zilla's are going on. Lots of snow and mud here in Oregon now, riding this weekend. More to follow.

I have these on my new 650i brute force. I can compare these to 4 other brands I have use on my quads including ITP 589's, dunlops, etc. They are a good tire with good bite and a solid steering response. Great in ruts and for climbing. A good tire for hunters, snow plowers and the like. These tire are even okay in mud. If you need a tire that can do everything well and have a reputation for long life then these are a good choice.

I bought a set of 35x12.50R15 for 170 a piece plus tire taxes in Ca. and they perform awesome especially for the price they are $30 bucks cheaper the BF Goodrich a tire and they have handled mud and snow very well so far. I plan to put them in the sand this weekend, and I don't see how I will have any problem with them. Overall a great tire for the price with a very aggressive and simple mud terrain appeal!

I run large tires on my f-250 superduty. I have three sets of this tire on my truck, the largest made, 40"x13.50x17". I have to say, they are the best priced tire in that size, and they wear decent for a mud tire on the highway. I drive probaly 90% onroad, I have had a hard time finding a good All terrain tire larger than 40", so i run these. The first two sets I have bought wore fairly well, about 25,000 miles. But the most recent set I bought wore extremely odd, and they became impossible to balance. the tread was 65% when this happened, so needless to say I was bummed that my new $2000 set of tires was already heading to the dumpster. This may have been a bad set, but they were inflated properly, and rotated to schedule. I would probaly buy another set, but I need to get bigger (42" or 44") and goodyear doesnt fit that size. Also, these tires dont clean out worth a sh*t till you reach high speeds, which causes my truck to bust its own windshield, very un-cool. Also, they are terrible on wet pavement, and totally suck in the mud. They are good on rocks, and grab excellent on hard packed dirt.

I just read through all the reviews and noticed all the contradictions: Good in mud/horrible in mud, good in snow/bad in snow, good on wet pavement/horrible on wet pavement. There should be some required fields in all these tire reviews so the tires can be better evaluated. If this were the case we might see the guys complaining about poor traction had very wide tires on light rigs or they were OEM tires which may have been constructed different to save money. (For example the OEM MTRs have a different compound than the ones we purchase after market.) I also noticed there's not a lot of complaints about sidewall damage and tread punctures.
I bought BFG T/A KOs in 235/85R16s 'E' load range for a '99 Superduty. That's the OEM size and that's why I ran it. It was a street truck that saw mostly freeway but I live on a half mile of dirt/unmaintained road. I ran the tires at max psi. The tires did just okay on the road and it wore evenly. After 30k miles and about 3 years I was down to about 6/32". The tread had obvious separation on two of the tires and it looked like a third was starting to separate. I replaced those tires with used Michelin LTX M/S of similar age and condition. There is no comparison to on-road handling. If I would have started with these tires my wife wouldn't have hated driving the pickup. It was significantly quieter, with a smoother ride, more responsive steering that required less steering effort and less steering correction. Honestly I'm amazed people put this tire on their street rigs.
That said, I'm preparing to buy another set of these tires to put on my Cherokee. BFG is the only tire manufacturer who makes a tire in a 33x10.5 or a 33x9.5. The Cherokee is going to see snow and ice on road and off road in the mountains. It's a relatively light rig so I need the narrow tire for enough pressure on the contact patch to prevent hydroplaning.
