SXS TIRE TESTING AT HAWK PRIDE: A couple old faithfuls against some new competition

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This concrete slab called "Boat Ramp" at Hawk Pride is the perfect spot to test some UTV tires out.

    The pro r acted same way my turbo r did. I've tried nittos and zillas on that wall and it will not crawl it. It's almost like there is too much suspension drop out in the front and unloads . My 4 seater xp I had on zillas would creep up the wall as slow as you wanted

    The nittos are the only tire I’ve seen do close to what the zillas do. Honestly it’s so close it makes me think it comes down more to driver, machine setup and tire pressure. I’ve seen videos of guys on zillas struggle at windrock on stuff I cruise through with zillas and I’ve seen guys with a krx on 35” zillas struggle where I don’t and a few of them do better than I do. 🤷‍♂️

The 33” Nittos run 32.25 tall with 8 psi on them not on the machine. I just bought a set of 33” System3 RT 320s because I don’t see many reviews about them. They are not a sticky but they are supper light DOT 8 ply tire. I weight them right at 40# per tire and they measured a true 33” tall not on the machine. A 32” Zilla weights 52 # when I weight them and measured 30” with 8 # on them not on the machine. Hope this helps.

    @@GrimRZR Rockzillas are usually around $100 more than Nittos. I’ve never seen a Zilla less than Nittos sense 2019 when I bought my 2019 Honda Talon. Most my friends run 32” Zillas on their Razors. 1 person in our group runs 35” Zillas on his Can-Am. I run 33” System3 XT 300s on my Talon. I payed $195 a tire when I bought them in 2019. The Zillas at the time were $345 a tire for 32”. That’s $150 price difference for a smaller tire. The 32” Zillas with 8#s of air are 30” Tall not on the machine. My System3 33” tires with 8# of air are just that 33” tall not on the machine. That’s 3” difference in tire Hight. That’s nuts specially for $150 price difference. We just got back from Wind Rock Tennessee this past weekend. I pulled the Rockzillas out of the mud every day. Yes the Zillas climbed slick rock better than me but I never got stuck. Zillas did good in the wet soupy mud ( hope that makes sense ) but not so good in the sticky mud or the leaves or loose dirt. The Zillas ride much smoother than my 300s by far, but other than slick rock they are not even close to my 300s.

In 4 years I have only seen 1 other SxS run the XT 300s. Ive had mine sense 2019 on my 2019 Honda Talon 1000 R with no flats. I had a guy at Cross Bar on lookout tell me how good his Rockzillas were and he had 5 plugs in his front driver tire alone. LoL!! Every tire has its place out on the trails IMO.
