Quadrunner Highlifter tire choice

[Quarterthor]

2000 Suzuki Quadrunner 500

In repairing what I thought was a front differential failure I've come to realize its time for new tires. I bought this thing new, when I was in 8th grade (via an agreement with my dad and being the groundskeeper at our church). By far, the most reliable machine I've ever owned. It's had a "bigfoot" kit since its first winter. It's time to replace the original 23 year old Highlifter Outlaw tires.

I want something close in capability but a little smoother, easier to steer and less slippery on dry, hard trails. I don't seek out mud holes anymore but I will hit them if I find one.

The current tires are 28x10.5-12 up front and 28x12.5-12 in the rear. I want to stay close to that size and I'm looking for opinions.

I've got it narrowed down to:

ITP Mega Mayhem 28x9-12 & 28x11-12 @ $724
Maxxis Zilla 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $648
ITP Mud Lite XL 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $702
SunF A050 Mud & Trail 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $592

I like the look of the Mega Mayhem but they come in at 1" narrower all around. Do you guys feel like this different would be a big deal?

Any experience with the SunF? The are almost identical in appearance to the Mud Lite.

Looking for any help in narrowing this down.

Thanks
