I bought the Megas for Trail machine. Ride alot of shale and granite..wet..slimy. wanted really good side walls grip because have to put tire against steep ditches to grab extra traction.. On our 5th sxs and like these the best for my riding. Maintained their height even at 12psi. A domed tire keeps better tranction in our terrain.
I run 5.2 offset wheels with 30 inch m1evils and notice alot of fighting in travel. To eliminate this I went with 2 inch spacers on rear and gave me 1/4 inch on each side over measurement of front. I believe the oem offset is around 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 on rear. Made a huge difference in handling. Hope this helps!
@@DerangedOffRoad Np!! Also I left out that you can also use 1 1/2 spacers. This will be 1/4 shy oem total width of front. Now people are complaining of shearing lug bolts with spacers due to lug bolts being to short. I went to a local O'Reilly and orderd lug bolts that were 1/2 in longer. By doing this you have alot more threads for nuts and shank will be 1mm larger so it will be tighter, and still can use same lug nuts. If you have any questions I'll try to answer the best I can!
Depends on the type of terrain you ride. Terrabites are great for hardpack, desert type stuff. They perform okay in some muddy situations, but they aren't great for back east wet muddy rocky type riding They run great on paved roads as well you should get several thousand miles out of a set. Megabytes seem to be a softer compound. They wear faster in the rocks, but they grip really well. They should do better in the mud with their big lugs that are spaced out further than the Terrabites. Joe will be doing a more in depth review about his megabytes later after a few more miles. -Dave
Do the Megabites measure true to size? I had the Terrabites (loved them) and I think they actually measured about an inch less than advertised. Looking to go back to one of these Tusk tires after the Dirt Commanders on my RMAX2 wear down.
Carnivores are DOT approved. You also need DOT approved tires in Utah the first time you get the street legal inspection done. After that it doesn’t matter. Just did all of this in the last year. I look forward to seeing what you think of the megabites after some use.
These are the only requirements by the state of Utah in regards to tires on street legal sxs. “(xvi) tires that: (A) do not exceed 44 inches in height; and (B) have at least 2/32 inches or greater tire tread.” If the inspection place told you otherwise they are misinformed. site.utah.gov/stateparks/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2018/10/OHV-Street-Legal-Code-5.8.18.pdf
Why are you disappointed in them? Did they not work well for the terrain you ride in? People who are considering buying them would like to know your experience
@@DerangedOffRoad I bought them right before a trip to Hatfield and McCoys. We rode mostly green and blue trails. Even though they are 8 ply, they puncture rather quickly. I only have maybe 400mi on them, got 2 punctures and had to buy a new tire already. The factory Bighorn 2.0's seem to work just as well. I know accidents happen, but I expected alot better.
If you're driving backcountry, not having a spare is stupid...or deranged. Won't RMMC mount for free w wheel & tire purchase? Short sidewalls suck offroad. Didn't try them in mud?
Just got a set of Terrabites for my sons Teryx 2 and was looking at these for my X3 Max,nice review and great looking tire
They work great 👍
What size did you go with on the teryx 2. I'm looking at the 28x10-14 all around.

Should have used some TECH 735 bead seal on them. Good attention to detail getting the balance dot at the valve.
They look great! 👍🏻
2:55 Correction they are actually 32x10x15 but I’m sure everyone knows that or would figure it out eventually👍
😂 now you’re just nitpicking! -Joe
I’m wanting to order a set now. Do you happen to have a coupon code by chance? Thanks
We don’t at this time, sorry.
I could use some hand -me-down Terra bites.

Terabyte vs megabyte what are you buying if you can only choose one
Depends on the type of terrain you ride. Terrabites are great for hardpack, desert type stuff.

They measure the same as the terrabites. At 10 psi they’re 30.75”, at 15psi they’re 31.25”. -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad were these measurements taken ON or OFF the machine?

What is your width with these versus the stock offset, how much wider are you now?
At say 10 psi what are they measuring horizontally ?
Curious if they run pretty small like the Terrabite.
Just measured. 30.75” at 10 psi. Same as the terrabites if I remember right. -Joe
@@DerangedOffRoad Thanks Joe
How many layers do they have?
8 ply. Same carcass as the terrabites.
Has anyone run these in mud and snow? If so how did they perform?
are you using tire straps to tie down the Talon to the trailer or what's best?
Just leave it and neutral with gate down. Then later buy a Can-Am😂
@@davisfamilyshenanigans4807 LOL, I did that with my Can-Am already🤣
I have the Tusk Trilobites, on my Teryx 4, and I am very disappointed with them. Will not recommend them to anyone. But these look like a nice tire!!

MAGA BITES.
What a worthless tire review
What would make a great one?
