May get another set for my daughter FauxPO, might need to look into an IGR or something first though.

I took a break to put the kid to bed.
She’s sitting on 28.75’s, which is 3” taller tire than the 25.5” tires that came on it from the factory. That’s factory BigHorn 2.0s at 15psi and Blackwaters at 8psi.




I had them on my 700 out of the 4 different tires I had on it the Blackwaters were my favorite jack of all trades. They are a true 8Ply vs the 4ply /6ply rated BigHorns so I worry less about punching holes in them like I did my BogHorns.

The Dual Beadlock and tire weigh about 15lbs more per corner vs the factory combo.

I considered “true 30’s” but decided I was going everywhere the guys with true 30’s were with my almost 26” tires and squaty stance. With 3” taller tires and the Fox Shocks putting the right height back at factory(with factory tires) I’m plenty tall. Not adding a lift or Roctanes, although I think they are by far the toughest tire out there.

Looks great! You can now get rid of any excess tire tools. If plug doesn’t fix a leak- just keep on riding cause that tire is not going anywhere.

Blackwaters sure don't look like a good tread pattern for rocks. Rocktanes have a lot more tread contact. Both good tires, very different design.

I strongly considered roctanes..was actuall dead set on them. But for the price and rebate decided to give the warthogs a try. They come in a little short...29in @ 12lbs.

Rode with @nbomar last week end, his Roctanes with 8PSI had a blunge in the side wall, my B W's didn't at 8 PSI. Going to try 6 PSI or less and if that doesn't work, I may have a set of black waters for sale.

The BigHorns really surprised me with their gripping power, but they were too thin. The Blackwaters did well on my 700 on the rocks and better than the BigHorns in the mud when I just had to crawl around in it to get to more rocks. I’ve driven Joeys with those Roctanes and they grip. We’re fairly similarly set up so once I’ve had some seat time this weekend I’ll have a better comparison.

They were my second choice. I had to wait 8 weeks to take delivery of the blackwaters and I almost considered canceling the order and getting a set of Warthogs or Terrabites at that price.

@joeymt33 had a leak and didn’t have ANY air in one of his wheels with Roctanes and it was holding the machine up so maybe he has the XD and @nbomar has the XS ? There are three different Roctanes. XS, XD, and XD-Kevlar.

I was running 7 with 28x10-12 in my 700 I’ve got 8psi in these 30x10-14, and there is no bulge in sidewall.


FYI @10psi they are about ½” taller, at 32psi they are 30.25” but I bet they ride like a solid wheel at that pressure.

Been trying to tell you guys to buy light truck tires and run 8 psi. They will last forever and no flats! They still flex and grip extremely well. I drove 98% of royal blue to windrock in turf mode.

I would’ve figured the harder compounds wouldn’t have gripped as well, but you and Mopar were both running LT tires.

Mine are pretty soft. They aren't soft like pit bull growlers but they still seem to grip well. They aren't going to out perform every tire but so far they have gotten me anywhere and everywhere I've wanted to go. They handle really well at high speed on gravel or pavement. Now I just Hope that my theory holds true and they last a lot longer than the average SXS ATV tire. If not i will be sadly disappointed.

I rode the 2016 Takeover with the Roctanes. I had just got them. I rode the whole 4 days on 4-5 psi. It was nice but too soft for a few fast rides. Also my rig was lighter back then.

I decided I wanted to keep it lower and more stable and that if could go as many places as I could go with the shorty factory tires I really didn’t need true 30’s.

It’d also be easier on clutch and the rest of the driveline with tires that are actually only 1.5” taller than the factory bighorns claim to be. The Roctanes are HEAVY too I think the tires alone are 48lbs each, while my beadlock wheels AND tires are only 51lbs total. That’s a lot of extra rotating mass that will help you snap an axle.

I think my 1000 is probably 200-300 lbs LIGHTER than my 700 and that’s intentional.

I don’t want to add the IGR I run the country roads around here getting between a few friends places that are just a couple miles away each. I think IGR slows you down to about 45-50top speed and that was one of my complaints with the 700.

The BFG Mud -Terrains Mopar is running I’ve only gotten about 15k miles a set when I had them but I got 60k from a set of BFG ATs. There’s def a difference in compounds I’ve had other mud tires that got even less than 15k, they were really good off-road but I had to only run them on steel wheels on weekends during hunting season. Then throw the ATs back on because otherwise I’d have gone through 3-4 sets of MTs in a year.

I was at 6psi. Not 8
