Honda Talon Tires - 32's or 30's?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

One question that always comes up about the Honda Talon when upgrading the tires is "What kind of power loss will i have and would I be better off going with 30's". In this video, we set out to answer that question. Joe lays down some lap times on the 32" Tusk Terrabites then swaps tires with Dave and puts in some laps on 30" Maxis Liberty tires.

    Me personally I would stick with the 32s also. It would be different if al I ran was clean trails and dunes but if you’re getting in the rocks and doing some serious stuff ground clearance is a premium and you want all you can get. And if you want a little more juice an exhaust and a tune makes a huge difference. But it’s like anything it depends on what you’re doing and what you’re opinion is because everybody has one. Just have fun and be happy.👍👍 Great video thanks for sharing take care and stay safe.

    I just changed out my stock 28” with System 3 XTR 30”. The new tires really softened up the harsh ride. I don’t know if it’s the difference in tires or the size that smoothed things out. Im guessing both are factors.

I run 30” Terrabites and my power steering cuts out all the time. I’ve also heard a ton of other people having the same issue. Does anyone sell a upgraded power steering to fix this problem?

    Hey Joe, do you feel that the 32's have any impact on the drivetrain reliability? I've read somewhere (in all my research) that 3" oversize is safe and I believe the Talons come stock with 28" tires. I personally want to outfit mine (if I ever get it) with the 32" tires because of the type of driving I intend to do here in Idaho. Thanks for all your videos, I'm learning a lot.

    I’m a big fan of my Talon and if I had to do it all over again I’d choose the same rig. With that said the KRX suspension is designed better and has some better potential. For me the KRX wasn’t even in the cards because I need a four seater. I don’t think you can make the wrong decision on this one but if you would like to have three or four passengers in the car with you 15% or more of the time, I’d go with the Talon. Hope that helps. -Joe

    Didn't you do this test a while back when you first got your 32's, and compared them to the little OEM 28's? If I recall, there was a huge 0-60 difference with those. Since 0-60 times mean absolutely nothing to me, I would also stick with your 32's for the off-road performance. If I wanted to drag race and see how fast I could go, I would have bought a turbo.

    Hey Joe, Another question or 2 about the terrabites. I can see they are on the stock rims.. I had previously purchased a OEM front tire and rim in case of a flat. Of course I just got a flat this weekend. The Talon has different width rims front and back. Here are my questions. 1. I guess you cannot "rotate" them? 2. Since the back rim is "wider" do those tires change the width of the vehicle front and back? 3. So you can put 32x10x15 tires on a 9" wide front and an 11" wide rear rim? Thanks Joe

  • @DerangedOffRoad

    @DerangedOffRoad

    You’re right, they can be rotated because of the offset. In an emergency you’d be fine to get off the trail though. As for the tires, they fit both width of wheels and since the wheels have different offsets, the track width is still even with the terrabites. -Joe
