It’s crazy how the market has changed. Been running the mongrels with no issues other than a little sketchy on turns. Never had a blow out and have lent my spare numerous times to others who have blown tires. After this video looked at the ultra Ross but would have to switch to a 15” rim to get 32” s so not gonna happen. Probably gonna stick to my 32” mongrels 10ply for now. Great video and man I wanna have your job because I can’t ride near as much as you!

I've heard good things on the Terramaster, I wonder how noticable the feel is when you swap the sides of it, with their unique tread pattern.

I have the ITP ultra cross only trouble I’ve had is flats on 2 of the 4 both on the driver side, the lugs seem to trap rocks and get shoved thru the tire, also had trouble with severe out of balance that took a lot of weight to correct, they handle fine and grip fine I ride a lot of rocky trails in Arizona

Even though a few top racers still use them, it looks like ITP is focused on the Coyote and some other options are better. I still think the ITP Ultracross is a good tire for the price.

Good question... the Coyotes better be bulletproof at 44lbs! YOu can Run 35" Tensors for only 1 pound more...

what's your take on the new nitto trail grapplers for sxs? can you make a video on those vs the bfgoodrich

Any opinions on the 32 Inch STI xcomp for a turbo s ?

The Kanati Mongrels have been upgraded from 8 ply to 10 ply! So the sidewalls should be one of the stronger sidewalls on the market. Tread pattern is the same, but the Tire carcass has been redesigned & are DOT approved & radial design. So they definitely stepped up their game, so that was enough to convince me to buy the Mongrels!

Any opinion on mud/snow with the ITP. Tires?

Thanks for the videos man! I know you’ve ran both tires the Tensors & KR2s..which ones do you recommend?

KR2's wear better and will last longer, amazing grip. I like the width of the Tensor. I'd go KR2, unless you get a better deal on the Tensor. I do prefer the height of the 33" Tensor, it's noticeable in the rocks.

Hi I'm new to this and I have question. To have 32 inch tires on stock 2019 rzr xp4 1000 Non- turbo what parts do I need to upgrade?

Hello, nay advice on whether I should do the 30" over the 31" for a 2019 1000XP4? All stock. I saw some of teh ITP's in a 31 but not sure if I should buy the 30 inch instead. I mostly do Arizona trail riding.

New Lion radius? Neither tire rubbed and full lock, but they probably don’t turn as tight of a circle as stock? Not 100% sure in that, never measured.

Can you go faster with the 32" vs a 30"? Or does the added weight and power needed to turn the wheels rob the horsepower?

@ChupacabraOffroad

Top speed? A taller tire could give more top speed, but the speedo would be off. But yes, bigger tires are heavier and acceleration and braking performance isnt as good, but their clearance and bigger size makes holes and whoops smaller, always a trade off...

I'd be curious about Tusk Terrabite Kevlar and Maxxis Liberty for primarily desert use like Parker with embedded sharp rocks. Tensor desert tires are too much $$ for me, but I'd be interested in a review.

32" BFG KR2 Baja or the DS 33", Tensors wear faster but are less expensive. Two of the best right now IMO. The tracking and predictability of our race car improved noticeably when we got rid of the ITP's and switched to Tensors...

great info brother. I am in the market for some 32's on our x3 max rs. The BFG's sound great in ur review. Whats ur thoughts on the Maxxis Liberties & Carnivores or Quadboss for the usual terrains here in Az?

@ChupacabraOffroad

5 жыл бұрын

Originally I was excited about the Liberties, but I haven't ridden in them, Maxxis is a really good brand and would consider buying if the price was right. As for Carnivores, the tread pattern seems better suited to different parts of the country, and Quadboss is more of a "budget" play, so honestly I wouldn't consider them, as my assumption is they are cheaply made and heavy. The Tusk Terrabite seems to be loved for the budget tire market, and it won V2R, it's just heavy.

You will loose a little power and breaking performance, there's no way around it, but they will be much more durable over rough terrain, and smoother. I think you can try them with stock clutching and you might not have issues. Lucky for you the X3 belts and drivetrain are very reliable and a clutch kit can solve any potential problems. the ride quality of the bigger, better tires is worth it.

Why do utv tires have a rounded tread width/tire edge vs car tires that have square edges with flat tread width? For example, bfg has flatter tread width but mongrels are as round as a ball but neither are as flat as a car

@ChupacabraOffroad

4 жыл бұрын

Good question, above my pay grade, but I feel like we went through a "truck tire" phase with SxS owners getting truck tires with the Discount Tire Road Hazard warranty, but they were heavy and caused excessive wear, and people didn't like the square shape as well, these are so much lighter. The Yokahama Super Digger is an example of the opposite, very round, which has always worked well for lightweight buggies, I think the tire can be lighter and slide more predictably, swapp through whoops and it is compliant and they hook up better in loose terrain. Just my 2 pesos... You see wider, flatter, chunkier tires for the rock crawling guys, so it really varies on terrain too.

Holy cow 1500-2000 miles? How much tread is left at that time?

What about the 32 super Atv warriors rt?
