I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a set of carnivores.. but notice that they say the compound is great for rocks/dessert driving.. does this mean they aren't going to be any good on snow/ice? Does anyone have feedback for that? I live in eastern canada and we do get a lot of winter driving in.

for what it is worth, I have the 30" Carnivores on my YXZ. At 450 miles fronts show no wear, but rear have some (not extreem but show more than my Liberties did at 600 miles). I plan to just rotate front / rear. I had them at Moab in rocks & on a big ride across Utah by Hurricane with lots of loose rock. I generally love the tires as far as handling, quite, and smoothness on roads. They clean out light mud a lot quicker than the liberties. The Liberties seem to throw mud forever after going through a light muddy area (not deep mud, I avoid it)
Who makes those rock sliders? And do they come out as wide as the tire on the rear?

My buddy installed 32's and said the top speed was 62 mph at Moab. I installed 30 inch Terrabites. At 5,000 feet elevation my top speed is 73 mph and it takes awhile to get there. The stock tires hit the rev limiter at 75 mph. I need a good top speed and the 30's are working great. Most of my high speed cruising is 40 to 55. I run a lot of 4th and 5th in the sand washes. If your going to install the turbo they have a flash for 28's, 30's, and 32's.

Jason I would like to put 32x10x15 pro armour on my stock talon 1000x wheels, I know the 1000R is a wider machine do you know if these will fit on my X?

I can't speak to what tire sizes will fit the X model without rubbing. I don't want to steer you the wrong way so I'll let someone with an X chime in on this.

Jason, Thanks for the AED Off Road Fab recommendation. I received my Sliders in today and they are awesome. High quality and very well packaged. Install this weekend and will post some pics!!!

Jason- what size (width) tires are you running.. the front rim is much narrower so I am not sure I understand the full picture... thx

32x10x15 Maxxis Carnivores on all four corners on stock wheels.

Just put 30” terrabites on 5+2 wheels. I think 32’s would rub the front fenders when turned and hit the rear shock mount. Not sure if the power steering would like 32’s or not.
I've got 100 or so miles on 32 carnivores on a stock x4. I've had the front rub slightly twice, once I was sliding around a corner in the snow at speed. The rears popped out of the ruts and tried to come around, so I was full crank and hit a little bump. The other time was coming down hill and crossing a ditch while having to crank hard again. All the weight was on that tire.
I did over heat my power steering once, we played in the snow, so dropped to ~5 lbs and then drove a few miles home on a very windy road. But before that, I've done entire rides in the snow at 2 lbs with no issues. Just the mix of pavement and low pressure is what it didn't like.

Sorry, guess I should have said I was talking about the maxxis carnivores
I have a new set that are not inflated yet are 30 inches I think the ones on my machine are 31 inflated. Completely different machine with these tires, put it in low range keep the beer cold it is a monster 3500 miles NO belt anxiety
So 32s measure 31 or 31s measure 31? Nice looking rig. I would love to have a talon but the pioneer fits my needs a lot better
