thoughts on a trail tire for muddy trails,

[DaveB]

Rob may have a metric pressure gauge....36 kPa is 5 psi....normal.

 

[rzrgade]

Maxxis zilla's are rated for 36Psi, 18 is beans man, something to do with being radial or non radial or whatever, tire talk thats what i call it blah blah blah

and the ride is fine, some people prefer speed and cornering over a smooth ride, the only downside i can think of is ice, and climbing over big slippery logs, also wet smooth rock... afew things i guess

Says PSI to me....

 

[goodngrubby]

Rzr manual recommends 8-10 psi.....

why zillas over swamp lites goodand grubby......?

Rzrgade explained it pretty much bang on....the Swamplites have a deep lug, but the spacing between lugs suck. They don't clean out well. They have zero sidewall grip, and they're heavier than the Zillas. If you want to give them a try, I have a near new set of 28" Zillas mounted on 14" ITP SS212 rims I'd sell you cheap.

Maybe if you pump em up to 36 psi they will work better.....

Good grief. You would just float over the mud, Bounce down the trail.

Interesting perspective on the swamplites good grub. I was always wondering about those tires

 

[roperx]

Rode my stocks once bought mega meyhams. great on trails, hard sidewall(6ply) and about 1 inch bigger lug than zilla and I think a little firmer too. great tire even in the mud. they did have problems in skeg as they tend to dug until hard bottom (like silver backs) but most tires have problems in skeg. Gave my Mega 28 to my wife nad bought outlaw 2's. found over my first year quadding I like mud holes more than trail but I assume as i'm still learning on my 2013 800 xt can am and its big quad for my 160 lbs. lol good luck deciding.
Cheers

I'm not sure what size his tires are but the bolt pattern would be the same as yours.

Yep, bolt pattern is the same. I can't remember the offset, but they'll work well on your buggy. The fronts are 9" wide, the rears are 11" wide. With the extra width, you'd probably want to put RZR S flares on.

I run that very same set up on the wifes 800. Kolpin makes flares that are the prefect width for less than half the price.

Do you need to put spacer on?

Don't be putting sh!t in your eyes...I've followed you on the trails...they don't work so great as it is. I've told a few fellas $700 for the rims and tires...any less, and I'd just keep 'em for spares.

Out with the old, in with the new. You can try out some 30" Rocktanes on STI beadlock rims....that's the new flavor for the RZR this year.
