I have the same tire in 30 inch on beadlocks on my general with an dalton clutch kit I just love them. Handles very well on hard trail and great in the mud

John you have a nice toy collection! A ‘Vette and all the 4 wheelers, heavy equipment and looks like a great spot with lots of land. Thanks for sharing! DC

Stock Exhaust with NO spark arrestor.

7 psi on an ATV with beadlocks is pointless drop them down to 4 psi and I promise the ride and grip will blow ur mind I had 30 regular mudlites on beadlocks on a 900 xp and only ran 5 psi they griped amazing and never had any issues felt like I was riding on a cloud

How are those Evo's? I have the stock 27 Duro V2 on my 850 Ultimate Trail. I looking for another option in 28's

Hey man grear vid. Quick question! How do you like the black waters over the big horns? Planning on doing only trail rides on my sportsman 850. Wich do you recommend?

@JohnFrancoNH

3 жыл бұрын

Both are excellent tires. Blackwaters handling awesome and are super capable in any situation. The blackwaters have the edge because of the deeper 1" lugs. Greatest all around tire with incredible traction and smooth ride.

I did 28x11 all 4 corners.. you should have done that the all 4 being the same option really improves how it handles and gives the front a bit more flotation in soft areas.. and yes mine are 28x11 blackwaters.. i love them! Great tire

That depends on the actual measured diameter and total weight of what you are putting on. Some tires are very deceiving like you mention. Youll be fine on level surface, but once you encounter resistance belt will slip. And technical trail drivablity will suck.

I am hesitant between this Blackwater Evolution and the Bearclaw HTR for forestry terrain (rocks, hills, roots). Searching for video examples showing evidence of grip on roots and rocks. Your test @24:01 (low/4WD) unable to get grip on rock pile. This is very disappointing for my need, although read all good things on the blackwater tire. Anyone has comment on this tire grip on rocks and hills? Why this rock pile unable to climb on?

@JohnFrancoNH

Жыл бұрын

I wasnt trying to actually go up the rock pile. I would of air down to 4 psi if i want to do that. The rocks were loose and very steep. But ITP blackwater evos over bearclaws HTR anyday. ITP is a much better tire compound wise and and for over all traction in most surfaces. EVOs have deeper lugs and steer and drive smooth because of the round tire profile. EVOs would be my pick!

Do you feel like you've lost significant power with the heavier wheel weight (tires/wheels/spacers)??

Yes.. less aggressive acceleration if you do not do a proper clutch kit for the tires you plan on replacing. There is no way around this. Stock clutch is made for super lightweight 25-26" rim/tires combos. After the clutch kit acceleration is back. The only cavet is you will up your engagement rpms. Thanks for watching!

@@JohnFrancoNHthe problem is they are 28” off the machine and if you run 5-7psi they are 26.5-27” mounted on the atv.. same as your old tires. They just looked a lot bigger cause you didn’t have them mounted with the 800-1000lb atv weight on them. You should get the 30x10 and run them all around. Mounted they are around 28.5” and you can rotate them also.. best of both worlds.
