Just ordered some 32” Tensor Regulators for my stock bead locks. I’ll post pics once they are on!

 

I’ll be interested in seeing this. I think the liberty 32” my next tire.

 

Got my Ct raceworx radius rods installed and ordered my new rims and tires. Sti HD5 beadlock rims and MRT Xrox DD 32s

 

Another forum member has the Tensor Regulators on stock wheels and I love the look.

So I'm looking at some 30" tires that will be durable for driving on pavement. So far I like the STI X Comp, the new System 3 RT320 and the BF Goodrich KM3 UTV tires. Both the STI and the System 3 say that they exceed DOT requirements, does that mean they'll wear better on pavement than a non-DOT tire? Let me know if any of you have other ideas in mind and what you think of the tires I've listed.

 

No it means that they exceed the minimum requirements to be DOT approved.

 

Then why not be DOT approved? Cost and or red tape thing for the manufacturer? I love my regulators (dot) as I feel better running 60mph on pavement in between trails vs a non DOT tire...but maybe something like above would work for me too?

Just joined the big tire group..................

32" Maxxis Carnivores
14 x 7" (5/2 offset) RM Tusk Teton Beadlocks

Mounting tires on beadlocks was pretty straight forward, sealed up nice. Got them mounted on the machine but ran out of time to test drive. Width is now 66", should still be able to clear gates, and ground clearance is 16". Can't wait to take a test rip!

 

Since BFG KM3 isn't DOT approved it sounds like it's not the way to go if I want to have a good tire for riding on pavement. I'd still like to hear some reviews on it though, I haven't seen many yet since it's new.

 

I have a set of stock 30" Liberty's off my XRC that I am going to sell. Only 250 miles on them. Mostly sand miles.

 

got some 32" XT300 from System 3 and system 3 wheels. Looks really mean. cant wait to see how they handle the snow.

 

I’m trying out some 35 tensors

 

Wonder how hard is the weight of those wheels and tires on the wheel bearings and cvs

Got these today. 32inch mrt xrox dd ?

Where the 4th one is I dont know been "delayed" ?

 

The only thing not to like about these tires is the price, they are a little heavier at 41 pounds ea but they are bullet proof and from my perspective eliminate the need to carry a spare. I do carry a small compressor and a tube, as with a bead lock wheel a tube install is simple.

 

They are no more expensive than any other tire once you factor out the 5th spare tire/wheel you wont have to buy. Or lug around...

Im really surprised there arent more tire manufacturers offering some form of run-flats.

 

These tires seem lighter then my mudlites I have on now but could be wrong. Hoping to find out tonight

 

New tires put on

 

No matter how tough any tire is I would have to carry a spare due to the chance of breaking a wheel.

 

Totally agree! Went with factory front tire for spare, although its a 29" tire (and I'm running 32's), if I blow a tire or wheel say a rear, will just need to move front tire to rear and put smaller spare on front. Plus it fits pretty good with the snorkels :big smile:

 

15x6 XS235 with 32" EFX Motovators.

 

Nice setup. I was considering those tires as well. I just thought I wanted a little more aggressive.

 

So since we have this big tire thread I was curious how many of you mount your own tires on your beadlocks, If not what are you paying to get them mounted up? I plan to purchase some 32" liberties in the future and run them on the OEM X3 beadlocks.

 

Not hard to mount them. The longest process is torquing the beadlock ring.

I take the wheel and put it on a Home Depot bucket. Soap up the wheel and tire and it slips right on.

I just mount them myself. It takes about 15 minutes per tire after you get the hang of it. That includes about 3 laps around the beadlock ring with the torque wrench. Some tire assembly lube helps, which you can get at Napa or amazon.

For breaking the bead to get the old tire off, I have a set of MotionPro bead breaking tire irons. They are mainly for motorcycle tires, but they work pretty good on UTV tires as well. There are some combos of wheel/tire though where its too much work so I just go to the tire shop after I have the beadlock ring off and they pop the bead for a couple bucks.

 

I also mounted them myself, not complicated at all.

 

Mount myself easy once you done it few times some times unmounting is a pain then I use the leveling jack on my toy hauler to to break bead

 

That's a good idea. I've definitely ran over a tire or 2 with my truck to break a bead.

 

I'm looking for suggestions for rally racing applications, I'm using Method 15" beadlock rims and I'm undecided between kr2 30" tires and the tensor 32".

Which tires do you guys recommend for gravel, asphalt, dirt roads, basically a tipical rally stage with mixed terrain.

I'm really interested on the tensor ones, but I'm afraid to loose low end torque with bigger than stock tires, I would gain a little bit of top end speed, but I might be slower in u turns and tight corners.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Stay with the 30" tire for more power and torque.

 

Tensor Regulators put on today!

Friend just put 35's on his RC

Those are the new 35" Fuel TRK with aramid fibers, puncture resistant technology, and weigh 47.5 lbs. Arimid fibers are what is used in bullet proof vests. 10 ply rating.

 

The more 2 seaters I see with 35's, is really starting to make me consider going that route instead of 32's on my XRS. Plus I love the look of the new Fuel tires

 

Weights jump up big time with 35s. Clutch work defintately needed. Starting to see more 33s hitting the market in the lower 40lb range that look like a good compromise. I like the new 33” ITP Coyote tire

 

Also guys gotta keep in mind that its not just the resting weight of the tire you have to consider, but that the centrifugal force of the larger diameter makes the torque required to accelerate, stop, and turn such a large tire exponential.
