I run the ITP Blackwater Evolutions in 30x10x14 and they do exactly what you are looking for and they are 8ply which should hold up better than the mud lite. I had mud lite xxl on my old atv and the Blackwaters seem to ride smoother.

 

How about in the mud? I really like the looks of the Blackwater Evo, just worried that they are not aggressive enough.

Just came across Super ATV Intimidators. Lots of ppl say they ride really well and they are quite aggressive. Super heavy though, over 50 lbs. for 30"

 

I bought the blackwater because it was light weight and aggressive enough for most mud holes. It does better than the big horns I've had in the mud.

I just purchased a set of 30x10x14 mudlites they are very light. I put it on my scale at work the tire weighs 35lbs.

 

I ran a set of 28" Mudlites on my RZR 900 and they are a light tire! I ride rocks and trails mainly. I punctured them more than I would have liked, and I also feel because of the power of the 900 I wore them faster than I would have liked as well. They did ride pretty smooth, they are really rounded or crowned out at correct riding pressures though. They did pretty well, but I wouldn't run them on anything with more power than a 900. Part of the reason they are so light is because they are really thin and there really isn't a lot of tread blocks on the tire. They are a soft rubber compound. Have you considered Roctanes? They do well in mud and are relatively bullet proof tire, but they are heavier. Good all round tire though. If you are looking for more of a strict mud tire that rode smooth I would probably go with the SATV Intimidators.

 

I'll put a vote in for the blackwaters as well. They impress me every ride
