Looking for good tires for my X3 XDS. I will prefer made in the US. Right now I have the Tusk Terrabite 30x10x14. After around 1500 miles they start losing air pressure. One is losing air by the rubber 1/8 inch above the beadlock, we had the put a tube in it. When I remove the beadlock I saw Made in China. I am not happy, 5 tires good for the dump.

 

X3 XRS - 2 seat - stock brakes

33x10x15 GBC Terramaster. 10 ply. 41.1 lbs. diameter measures close to 32" at 18 psi
1,200 miles central & east AZ+ Johnson valley with a nail in 1 of them and still going. I think they will go 1,400 miles. B-side out (hard terrain) in sand will push in the corner. Car brakes ok. Good on graded. Great on rocks. Tough tire.

35 x 9.5 x15- System 3 - RT320 - 8 ply- 43 lbs - has anyone tested it?
Contact patch suffers at a 9.5"? Steel belt or what is it?
Weight to tire diameter is attractive. 43 lbs at 35". Should roll over square edge better.
My only fear is the added wear on bearings, brakes, joints, and effect on shock rebound.

Both run about $200 /tire.

Experience anyone?

 

Hi guys! i changed from libertys 32" to big km3 32" in my x3 xrc rr. whoever goes through the same path, you will never look back. I love them, it is an incredible tire in all aspects they are simply better. Liberty is not a bad tire but it has nothing to do against km3. MY OPINION

 

You might want to check those weights with another scale. Tire alone is 40-41lbs

 

Just did my first ride on a new set of 33” System3 R320s. I am pretty impressed with them so far. The extra ground clearance is killer. Im right at 17” now on my DS. You can see how tall they are vs my old 32”(31” measured) MRTs. The R320s are a true to size tire and measure every bit of 33”

 

Where did you get the Hostile wheels from? I love those. Seems everyone is out of stock.

 

64inch xds, 6inch portals, 2 inch puck lift, 38s and 24s clear.

 

Anybody running 32 Regulators on 15x7 401's on an XRS? All this talk of scrub radius has got me questioning 4+3. If I went 5+2 I'd go with the 405's. I still have a few weeks to decide

 

I'm running the Method 401R 15-5 5-0 offset with 33x10x15 tires. Drives amazing

 

19 xmr 72" 42/24s clear 6inch portals with light spring tighten

 

Got my 32” crawler xg’s on, went with system3 15s. Figured out after the fact that Polaris owns pro armor. Oh well lol.

Adjusted the shocks a little, sitting 16.5 in front 16 in rear

Gusset & shock tower up next, maybe sliders, then better springs.

 

Got my 35" x 15 x 10 Fuel Gripper T/R/K tires on with Fuel Hardline BL wheels. The tires weigh in at 47 lbs which is pretty awesome for a 35" tire. Just a couple of rides so far but really liking them right now.

 

Those look closer to a 33”. What do they measure out at? Probably why they are under 50lbs

 

They measure out at 34", with 15 lbs pressure

 

just got some 29" km3s for my beast and was curious to see how everyone has fared with balancing the beadlock wheels. i got them as close to centered on the wheel as i could but wasnt sure how exact i needed to be. it almost looked like there was a little taper on the bead of the km3 so hopefully that helped line it up as i was snugging and torqueing the rings down.

thoughts on taking them in to try to have someone balance them? im paranoid after i got the tyre guider chinese junk and they shook terrible... even with beads in them to try to help out.

I don’t balance my wheels

 

I don't balance mine either. Let me know if your having a problem. There are a few tricks to mounting beadlocks.

 

will do, thanks!

I am hoping to take them for a run one night this week and see how they do. now that i have the beads seated, it might be a little easier to get them centered? is it worth while to loosen the rings and set them again now that i have them seated on the back?

steve

 

thanks for the info! ill see how they look, as i eyeballed them pretty well to get them centered the first time. cant wait to try them!

steve

 

Got the km3s put on tonight and went for a ride. Smooth as the road so that was great. Didn't even have to take the rings back off and mess with them so I'm very happy!

Much better than the tyre guiders!

Thanks for the help and info.

Steve

 

On a 64" machine, will there be any rubbing with 32's, and a 4+3 wheel? I know they rub on the stock wheels. The offset should help, no?

 

Offset will help yes.
