never ran swamplite's, but i love my zilla's.... sspeckerwood swears by his swamplites and he has run a ton of tires

IMO there isn't a comparison in mud, zillas all the way, but zillas have a soft side wall, they ride great and life is decent.

Swamplites run big and ride smooth, climb decent, but don't clean out.

i really think there both really good tires, the big difference i would say is the weight the zilla's are the lightest tire out there

i've never fooled with the zillas, and i don't know anyone with them, but in my opinion, the swamplites are a fantastic all-around tire with more-than-sufficient mudding capabilities.

I ride in all types of terrain. Stockers have worked ok so far. I just want some honest opinions from owners of each. I want 26's. I'm stuck between BearClaws, Swamplites , and Zillas. BearClaws I have owned , so I know what they can do. Just totally lost between Zillas and SwampLites. Both have outstanding reviews .

tskfreak · 02-01-2012, 07:38 PM

zilla's run small though if you want 26's get 27's and so forth..... as far as mudding is concerned i think zilla's in general out perform swamps.... again i don't know this first hand about the swamps just from reviews and some vids iv'e watched....

they're probably neck and neck in all categories. pick which one you think looks the most bad a$$ and get it! either one will be 10 times better than stockers. stockers don't work ok at all!! lol!

I have 26 swamplites and havent had a problem with them. Rocks, trails and Georgia red clay mud. Now I dont go and sink mine up to the seat in mud. I think that they are a great all round tire

Zillas get my vote.Swamplites suck in the mud.I'd run Bear Claws before Swamplites.
