Rubi I'm curious...how much have you had to replace on your rubicon in all those miles? I've watched a bunch of your videos, you have some very nice places to ride up there!

here's what swamplites look like going over railroad tracks at 2psi

i've done this plenty and i've never broken a bead yet. try that with the zilla's and see if they can do the same

lots of guys up here are running zilla's and swamplites, each person you talk to gives you the same pro's and cons. if i wanted to go back to a versatile tire it would be the swamplights for there wear and they can go just about everywhere you really NEED to be. and plus it comes down to the rider too, new riders tend to get stuck with any tires but after you wear yourself out either digging or pushing yourself out all day, you pick your lines better lol.

lol if i run my laws at 5psi and they dont flex much but they would deff take out a bead real easy, gotta run 8psi cold just to correct that problem. beadlockers would work too.

I checked weights of Zilla to Mudzilla and Swamp Lites

28x10x12 Zilla 26# Swamp Lites 28x10x12 38#
28x10x12 Mudzilla 35.6#

27x9x12 Zilla 21.5# Swamp Lite 27x9x12 27#
27x9x12 Mudzilla 28# Swamp Lite 27x12x12 30#

28x12x12 Zilla 27.6#
28x12x12 Mudzilla 41.6#

27x11x12 Zilla 24.5#
27x12x12 Mudzilla 38.4#

Zilla win hands down on weight alone
