They are 8 pounds a piece heavier than the carnivores I usually run, which is only 32 pds for all 4, the side walls supposed to be a lot thicker than the carnivores which is the weight difference

41.9lbs, terrabites is 36lbs, carnivore is 34, that don't see extremely heavy to me??
I agree, always though people make too big a deal sometimes when it comes to weight. Especially down low.

Unless you're racing or running laps, 30/40 extra pounds ain't no different then a fat chick tagging along for the ride, or a skinny one for that matter 😂

My 2 cents.....

When I was about 6, my Dad was warming up a soldering iron and wrapped his hand around it to feel for warmth, NOT touching it. I followed his lead and grabbed that almost hot MFer and got burnt pretty good; big ole blisters within a day or two. I learned later that he got a lot of s*** for it 'after the fact' - 'you should have been more careful' kinda crap from everyone. You can't stop kids from getting hurt, it's how we learn. Still burn myself when welding tho. 😊

Exhausts are hot on everything and now he knows that.

Most important thing about burns - you have to get the heat out of the tissue asap. Cold, running water, repeated until the pain is livable. It may take a dozen or more sessions to get the heat out, pain will let you know when it's time for another dunking. When the pain is gone, so is the heat.
Ice is whatI use.

They are extremely heavy.
They are heavy. I had a set of 30" on my 1000x4. Seemed to rob much more power than the previous set of 32" blackwaters. I ended up selling them and buying a set of 30" blackwaters which seem perfect for the riding I do in NY and NH.

30in blackwater's 34lbs, only 8 pds a tire difference 32lbs, the carnivores same weight as blackwater, I personally would have run them over the blackwater's, just my opinion, I've run them both. Went with this one for heavy sidewalls if not for that I would have stuck with carnivores

The speedo kit is the one from sspeederr on the site, great fellow, answered every question, y'all give him a shout if y'all want one, very easy to install, I spent more time on middle plate than anything, trying to get my light controller installed, cause there was just enough room top to bottom
