To complicate the fact that every mfr's tire doesn't measure true is this - measure the inflated diameter, divide by 2 for the radius (duh). But that's not the rolling radius because it doesn't account for the vehicle's weight. The rolling radius is what matters to us the most for two reasons - 1. ground clearance (duh again). 2. (and less obvious) - the rolling radius is the lever arm against which the gearing is workingOk perfect. Thanks

So even if we have the exact diameter (and circumference), it's the rolling radius that really matters.

31" is the diameter, the radius is 15.5", the rolling radius is 15.5 minus the amount the tire compresses under the weight of the vehicle and is dependent on tire pressure and construction (stiffer sidewalls compress less, radial tires usually compress more).I'm lost. So 31 is not the rolling radius?

No problem, been there, done that.Sorry I understand now. When I reread the post I was thinking why did I just ask that![]()
Ok, All of you seem to be running the R model. Can you run this set up on the X model with out any problems. I'm about to pull the trigger on the 32” Carnivores on stock wheels if any one knows the for sure the work.

I’m running true 30’s on my X4 and I get a very slight rub on the front when full lock under compression.Ok, All of you seem to be running the R model.

I'm also looking at pulling the trigger on some Carnivores 32x10-15 on my stock Talon X, the package I'm looking at includes a set of bead locks at 5+2, is this offset recommended so nothing rubs? Just don't want to get these bad boys and have a bunch of issues with rubbing/ not fitting without spacers. This package is on mudthrowers.com
Do you have a feel for how the Carnivores wearing? I've heard that they're soft and wear a bit quicker than others. My preference would be longer life in my rocky environment - I haven't needed more traction 'yet'.32” carnivores with stock wheels miles of room no modifications at allView attachment 249774View attachment 249775
