4/136 will work fine. 5+2 offset will also be fine. The Carnivores are a good tire. The sidewall is a little weak. I have the Fuel wheels if you need some.

Do you have a tire recommendation for Northeast Trail Riding, that has a more robust sidewall, that you could package with the rims?

 

I like how the Carnivore works for your area. The MRT is the best choice for an alternate because of the sidewall. They are pricey. Here are some alternatives:

Tensors are a very good off road tire. Take a look at them too. Agree with Craig on the other stuff.

 

I was going to ask about the MRT Options.

They seem to be the buy once/cry once option?

They look very similar and are priced nearly identical, what's the difference and which is the better trail option?

Are they just Anti-Flat or actually Run-Flats?

 

Run flats ???? Is there even suck a thing in off road tires ???

Run some of this stuff in each tire, seems to work well for me and others.

I just bought some Tusk Terrrabites, they are DOT certified and 10 ply. The 32x10x14 weigh 39 lbs and are medium to hard terrain tire.

 

I ride in west va so similar terrain as you. I ran Terrabites for awhile and liked them and then went to tensors and really liked them. I got 2200 miles out of the tensors. Much tougher tire than Terrabites with thicker sidewall and a more square tread profile. I now have carnivores and only have a few miles on them so will see how they hold up in the rocks. 5+2 is what I run also. I would also say I ran 30” tensors and the carnivore are 32”...I should of went with 32’s right off the bat. Look better, roll better and more ground clearance and no issues with clearance on 5+2 wheels

I have Terrabites 30x10x14. I do not like them weak side wall and poor quality but good looking. I have 8 sticky plugs on them in only few months. Now looking for Tensor or STI Chicane.

 

So, I'm heavily considering the MRT because of their durability and performance, but also because they offer an additional size option.

32x10x15 and
33x10x15

Would the 33x10x15 also work on a 5+2 Rim or does it need a 4+3 to clear the trailing arms, etc?
Will the increased diameter allow acceptable scrub radius with a 4+3 rim?
Do I néed to change clutching or gearing?
Am I over simplifying this jump to 33, or is there more I'm not considering?

 

A true 33” tire requires 4+3 wheels on a 64” car. Slight rub on front firewall at full lock with shock compressed.

 

MRTs are one of the best if not best tires out there. BUT they do run small to size. My next tires will be 33” MRTs.

 

Sandman is right. My 32” mrt measure at 30.5”. I was thinking about trying out the rockzillas next. I heard they measure true size. Wish they made a 33 though.

 

The 33” MRT is the only one that looks true to size. Here it is next to the RT320 on my car which is a true 33”

 

How do you like the Rt 320’s? I have a set of 35’s to mount up for a AZPT ride in April that’s like 800 miles In 5 days.

I’ve burned up 2 sets of the tensors 35, I only get about 1,000 miles per set on the tensors.

 

Ya that does look close. I wonder why that size is the only one true.

 

No idea, but I think a true 33” is the perfect size tire on these cars.

The 35” MRT isnt much taller than the 33”

 

Could you elaborate a bit?

I'm trying to justify going from 30" to 32" sand tires on my 18.5 RSR 72" WS170 as many advise, and looking and both performance and handling, not too concerned about ground clearance.

I know someone who runs 29" paddles on his stock 18 X3 RSR and sometimes out performs many of us at times with 30"-32", it seems to be related to rotating mass, ratio (due to smaller size) etc... also less belt failure in our unforgiving Oregon Dunes with very steep, soft sand holes to constantly pull out from, many times from a dead stop.

 

I run MRTs on my desert car. They are fast and light!

 

Myself and 2 other Mavericks are running the Carnivores 15x32 on 5/2 offset here in WV with 1,000 miles each and no issue with punctures. They seem to be a good combo tire for our diverse terrain/conditions. Something to consider, the stiffer sidewall tires create a harsher ride, its like 9 psi verses 12 or 15 psi in your tires. The tree roots, baseball-size rocks and chug holes, where we ride, make many select a tire that has some sidewall flex to absorb the hits, thus removing/limiting the feedback in the suspension and steering wheel. Another thing to consider is tire pressure such as if I'm running with the guys its 12.5 or 13 psi and if its the wife I'm running 11.5, the ride difference is very noticeable as well as the high speed cornering limitations at 11.5 but the smoother ride for her is worth it. One more consideration, we all are running 2 seaters and not 4-seaters like yours and if you have 4 adults in the MAX the increased weight may require running a higher PSI or a stiffer sidewall tire to carry the weight.

Now if I lived out west, I would not recommend this tire due to the different terrain, speed, and application. Based on what I have read I would not recommend 4/3 offset, they say the feedback in the steering wheel is huge compared to 5/2. If you went with 30-inch tires you could go with 6/1 offset which would be like your stock setup from the factory but with 32-inch it is recommended for best results to run 5/2. The Carnivores are not made to run on the highway, they will wear out quickly, probably around 1,000 miles. I hope this helps but this is only my opinion, there are a lot more experienced riders on this forum who have a lot more miles running different tire combo's than I have hair on my head.

 

I’ve heard people say that about Oregon but I’ve never had an issue there running buffed.

Sandcraft haulers hold up pretty well. They are not buffed as much as some others
