P1000 Roctane tires with unknown cuts...!

[Darby]

Here are some pictures... honestly... outside of this "issue"... tires worked great... like I said.. i'm not sure what the issues is... but had others on ATV's running behind me.. no issues with tires at all.. find it very hard to believe i did, and no one else did.. and both tires are pretty much identical... I'm not trying to bash Roctanes... I've run Bighorn's on my Rincon forever.. never seen an issue like this.... baffling...

Looks like you may be rubbing somewhere. I know jeep tires will do the same thing when they rub the bumper.

OK... now I feel like a complete idiot. Windrock - you nailed it... I have some aftermarket tie-downs in the bed... and funny... with a 4hp engine on a 100 gallon sprayer (full - about 1200lbs)... it didn't ever get to rubbing onto the bolts with the tires - i checked carefully... but apparently... hard/rough/fast riding with 2 people and about 100" in the bed - gets the suspension a much more rigorous workout... because the groves in the tires match up with the bolts that extend down about 1/2" from the bed...

Bottom line.. Roctanes Great... Darby.. idiot.

If you could post up a pic of where the bolts are! Thanks

i suspect the other issue i have is... when i put all the weight on with the sprayer... it was with the original tires (27"), as these are 28"... magnified my problem... and while it looks like there is plenty of clearance - i was doing a lot of very rough riding - and very fast.. the suspension no doubt was doing some bottoming out over rough ground... and that didn't even cross my mind (obviously...) Now that i see it, i'm going "how did THAT not appear OBVIOUS right off the bat?!"

It is helpful to see what not to do also. Thank You for sharing.

I would also like to turn it into a learning experience. A what NOT to do thread or something.

Only thing that is missing is what size are they.
I think I see 28.

I cleaned up many of the post talking about sti. I will also clean up these once you agree.

you can go back and edit any info you like. I already edited one part removing STI as fault.

And, if you want the post deleted I will do that too.
