So they are a 30" M1 Evils. My other setup on my X is the 32" Terra Masters. And I have had another setup of MRT Race 30" tires before that. So here is my take as I was pretty excited to try the M1's as they were a tire I have looked at in the past.
I felt like they are overall a good tire. I do not like them as good as I do the Terra Masters. They feel heavier, which I plan to weigh and know for sure soon. They felt like the wheel and tire combo of the 30's were heavier than the 32" Terra Masters. I think they might have done a little better in the mud but they did not handle corners as well. They pushed a little more in the front and slide more in the rear.. The Terra Masters have done really good for me on everything I have put them through. For high altitude weight will play a factor in your equation as well. If I was dead set on getting a 30" tire would really look into getting a 31" Terra Master. They grip and are light. My 32" are really closer to a 31" tire so if the 31" is more like a true 30" then I would go that route and I think you would be happy with that setup. I had no real complaints about the M1's and feel they did a great job this last weekend. A bigger tire would be best for my type of riding here. My MRT's are even lighter yet but super expensive....
Since I was thinking of going with the Terra Masters I could sell you this setup?? ;)
Let me know if I didn't answer your question completely and I will try again!) 🙂
Yeah you totally gave me what I was looking for. I might be interested in purchasing this setup from you. I would like to do a little bit of homework still. Shoot me a message as to what you are looking for on the setup.
Thanks!

Just picked this up on Wednesday and I am getting it ready to head to Tennessee early in the morning to test it out! It is a used 2021 with 1000 miles in it. It had all the parts you see already on it. Warn winch, front and rear bumpers (not a big fan of bumpers but oh well), tree kickers. Spare tire carrier, mud busters, lighted whip, sound bar, wheels and tires (raceline 15x6 +40 and M1 evils 30"), 3 other sets of tires with 2 sets of wheels, 4 year Honda warranty, rear view mirrors, bed extender, and some other small things. I am not sure yet if I wish the wheels were 15x7 or not. It appears to be in great shape and the guy seemed like a good dude!!
Really looking forward to testing it out. My 16 yo son is moving into my X, 13 yo son into the YXZ, and 8 yo into the Polaris Ace. They are really excited too!! 😎 🤣
Yes the shed is a mess!! To much going on to clean it up right now!)

So the new machine had it a little rough on its first weekend out!!😎 And I about drove it off a cliff at 11pm on a trail!! 1 tire hanging off a 50' drop and 3 still on the ground as I slide to a stop!!😬 I will say that I do really like the RLV a lot! It felt more stable and loved the way it handled. I did notice the extra width from my X. It was not an issue but there were spots that took more maneuverability to get through! I am very happy with my purchase and feel I got a good deal for 22k with all the extras it has with it!

I’ve got that same crack in the plastic on the passenger side just above the tree kickers. I think it happened when my mud busters got in a bind.
