Sorry for the repeat question Guys but I haven't been able to find a clear answer to my questions.

I am currently running ITP XCR on my 05 450r. I like the tires and haven't had any issues but they are full of plugs and looking to get a new set of tires. I do alot of trail riding in the mountains of Pa which consist of just about ever terrain you could think of Except Sand. Boulders, Small Loose rock, Compressd dirt/Clay, Rock Face, loose Dirt, Mudd, Snow, Hills with Loose Rock/dirt, Coal Hills and Coal Trails, ETC.....

The Two options that I am considering are the ITP Mudlites SP or the ITP GNCC.

I am leaning towards the Mudlite SP because I do a lot of riding with 4x4 mudders and would like to play and hang with them in the Mud/Snow but I am worried this might not be an all around good trail tire.

If you are running have run Mudlite SP's please give your thoughts on how they handle the trails and Opinions on what tires would best meet my needs.

Thanks in advanced for your Help...

i had razrs up in pa in the coal hills and rocky trails. i liked em, wore out fast though. just ordered a set of holeshot hds so i will see how they go. i have never used the mudlites, but on a few local forums guys think they give up to much with the weird tread to be of use. most of them suggest a knobby where the knobs arent to close together. also somethin to look into that has nothin but good reviews is super swamper tires for sport bikes. they say they climb hills better than anything except paddles and do well in mud and trails. only problem is that they are only 22 inch, no 20. that sounds like it might work with the riding you are doing. heres a link to those tires. http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=31&g=3
