Default Swamp Lite?

Considering replacing worn PXTs.

Terracross, Interco Swamp Lite, Interco Reptile, Bearclaw or Bighorn?

I have heard alot of positive things about swamp lites and very little on the reptile. I spoke with a guy at the ATV store who had reptiles on his rancher and he was very impressed. Great ride due to being a radial and double the off road performance of the stock tires.

How do they compare to the XTRs for ride quality in hard packed terrain?

I have 26" ties currently from Polaris (LE Edition) so I plan to stay with 26" tires. Very little difference between 25 and 26 (1/2 inch of ground clearance). Terracross is my favorite but the price is 50% more than the Interco tires (Swmp Lit / Reptile).

I'd be going Swamp Lights also if they lasted longer but from all my reading they wear down fast for my conditions .

the xtr's are a better riding tire and better in the mud and the wear seems to be long lasting tire. the swamp lites are a cheapr tire and we dont do alot of road riding so they should last a while.

I love my Swamplites. I am going on my 2nd year with them and have put around 2200 miles on them, I don't think that they wear fast. They are a little rougher than the PXT's were, but not much. Night and day difference in the mud and rocks. I bought them right before a trip to the hatfield mccoy trails and was duely impressed.
