Terrabite 8-Ply 31x10-15 to replace stock 2019 Talon R tires

[Doogle]

I need new tires and want more clearance for my Arizona riding. Would I need to do anything else to swap out to Terrabites?
If I used these on the rear, what could I use on the front? I don't see any smaller width sizes for the front.

Stock wheels? If you go with 10" tires all around. I recommend 1" rear spacers.

However.
I have been through my share of Terabytes. I have replaced five on my Pioneer since 2019 due to punctures side wall mainly.
On my talon. I spent the $ and went with M1 Evils. I have a good dozen rides and no issues.

Yes, I have stock wheels. Can I use 31x10-15 tires on the stock front wheels? And would the rear spacers affect the stock geometry? My trailer is already a very tight fit. I don't want to be forced to do a lot of cutting and welding to make it fit.

You can add spacers later.
I think... With stock wheels and 10" wide tires, the rear looks like it sits in more than the front. The spacers offset that look.
It's more pronounced with same-size aftermarket wheels on all 4 tho.

Is it okay to put a 10" wide tire on a 9" wheel?
And would there be any clearance issues with a 31 or 32 inch tire on the front of a Talon R?

 

[Hondasxs]

Stock wheels are like 6.5 and 8 or something odd.

Yes, it's fine.

32's fit fine on a R as well.

Thanks for the reply's. I just found 4 friends that put 32x10's on their Talons.

You can fit 35's on a stock Talon 1000R without modifying anything.
I also did aftermarket Rims, With my aftermarket rims with a 5+2 i did 1.5" spacers on the rear.

I never ran stock rims, but after making this change you arent required to do spacers. If you want your machine even though you may have to. I know my machine is 72 inches wide after my changes because of the 5+2 offset rims. All you need to do is look at the width of your current tires and if they are 9 for example and you are adding 10's then you will be 2 inches wider then you currently are.

I'd think if each tire is 1" wider, the overall width would only increase 1" since half of that would be going towards the inside.

You may think that but does your current tire stick passed the inside edge of the rim?

I recently purchased 15" System -3, 5+2 rims and 31/10.50/15 AT Light Truck tires with a 1.5 rear spacer on my X2, with Shock Therapy Springs, it made a huge difference.
IMHO AT tires have more rubber on the ground making tire puncture less likely, just look at the trophy trucks running Baja, you don't see big knobby tires there. My 2 cents

I could use a little help from you guys when it comes to replacing my stock tires. I have a 2021 Talon 1000X-4 and trying to decide which tire size you would recommend. I’m looking at a set of Tusk Terrabites. Would I be better off with 30x10x15 or 31x10x15. The 31’s are actually a little cheaper. Most of my riding I’ve done so far is
pretty much through the woods on two tracks, sandy trails or just back roads. Some of the trails do have some deep ruts carved in them so I was thinking maybe a little more clearance might be the answer. Feel free to throw your 2 cents in……thank you

31's.... as this tire runs small.

Thank You! That info helps a lot.

You might wanna consider truck tires either All Terrain AT's or Mud and Snow MT's, I prefer AT's and yes you will save some cash. Plenty of choices and with the money you save make sure to buy a spare.

I just installed the 31" Terrabites. They measure 30" tall. One short ride yesterday and I am happy so far.

Did you run a spacer on the rear wheels and did you notice any rubbing?
