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 working and will directly affect our performance. So even if we have the exact diameter (and circumference), it's the rolling radius that really matters.

I'm lost. So 31 is not the rolling radius?

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).

Sorry I understand now. When I reread the post I was thinking why did I just ask that

No problem, been there, done 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.

They would work on your stock wheels on an X....but most likely at full lock and full compressed suspension you would slightly rub on the inner wheel well. Most don't care and say it's not bad. I run 32's on my X and that is my experience.....

Ok thanks, That’s the answer I was looking for.

Exactly my setup and have no issues at all.

I’m running true 30’s on my X4 and I get a very slight rub on the front when full lock under compression.

Hey guys I know you all are talking about carnivores on stocks but I went rock-a-billy on stocks on my R live valve today only running 8psi per sedona hoping I done de-bead will see but here's you some pic. Fyi u need 2-1in wheel spacers for rear to match width of front im 72 front and 70in width rear

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

I am running a "5+2" +38 on my X. If you want to be closer to stock than a 6+1 is the way to go. You most likely will have the minimal rubbing issues that happen at full turn and full compression. And you will probably want 1.5-in spacers for the rear.

I just added the Shock Therapy spring kit and 32 Carnivores and all I can say is wow ....... Best single mod i have made to any vehicle as of today ... best bang for your buck. I highly recommend the spring kit. Honda really messed up on the shocks on the talon but for $700 you can fix them. As for top speed, GPS not speedo I actually gained top end before i was hitting the Rev limit now I am not.

I am wanting to add 32-10-15's on my factory rims of my Talon X4. A couple of questions:
1) For those who are running those tires, do you add rim spacers?
2) Is everyone running their factory A Arms or did you install a forward offset A Arm?

Just curious what other mods I may need if go with 32's.
Thanks

Forward a arms

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'.

 

[Sawpilot]

They’re about 3200 miles on them right now and 50% that’s blacktop as you can see with my license plate I do a lot of road riding and trail riding I’ve already bought a new set I won’t run anything else
