Will add trail review here soon!

I can fit 32s on my ride for the rocks and trails would 32s be to big. Would run spacers but thinking about center of gravity on my 1000-5

If you don't have the gear reduction 32" will be to big in my opinion.

Have it got 32 outbacks for mud riding need something for Royal Blue?
Those outbacks will probably do great. I believe there were several machines with them last year and they did great. Wait wasn't that you that went with us over the widowmaker ect?

I just put 30X10X14 Tusk Terrabyte Kevlars on my 2018 P1000-5 LE with 1" spacers in back. No lift and no new A arms. At 10 lbs. the fronts would rub some on full lock turns at 8 lbs. not so much. I expeirenced some lugging of the motor on super steep hills with rock ledges, not a real problem, just needed a little more throttle and I was up and over. The traction difference over stock was nothing short of amazing! Went up two four foot slippery waterfalls with no problems. Climbing up steep and rock infested trails at Turner Falls in Oklahoma was also no problem. Super tough sidewalls never failed me, even though I hit some sharp rock pretty hard, no pinches. I can't recommend the tires enough, pricey, but well worth it.

So you guys that have the terrabites, do they perform pretty well? Would you buy them again over other tires like the Roctane XD or the Maxxis Carnivore?

Terribates have been a good tire for me the last 2 yrs.
They seem to be a good tire from what I’ve seen. My 700-4 had Roctane XDs and they were tough as nails, I ran 6-9psi most of the time with them. I’m going to go 28x10-14 on all four and trying to zero in on what I want to order.

I ran Terrabites for about 1500 miles...I liked them for hard pack west va riding. Sucked in the mud. Went to tensors for 2200 miles and I liked them better than the Terrabites everywhere. No have carnivores and while the straight up traction (especially in mud or really tacky stuff) is better, they don’t ride as smooth at speed and they will NOT last as long as either the terrabite or the tensors. When these wear out (be lucky to get 1000 miles), I’ll try bfg’s next...or go back to tensors

I like my berserkers a lot better than the terrabites... 28” berserkers on 12” wheels would be my suggestion!
Why 12” wheels? Is it more sidewall flex? I’ve always figured 14” wheels and tires were better because they had a shorter sidewall. Just curious on your thoughts since you’ve been doing this longer than I have.

Yes.. the ride will be much better. You’ll get the same sidewall I have with 14’s and 30’s.. but will lose a lot of weight

Bringing up a dead thread. I’m looking at getting 30” terabites same as o.p. Anyone have issues running the same tire front and rear on stock deluxe wheels in 4x4. The rim difference would make the tires different heights. My guess is everyone adjusts pressures to match heights?
Thanks!
