I absolutely love my Nitto's. I have them on my KRX and do not feel much if any difference in the ride comfort. These things dig in the mud and run up trails. I can walk right up rocks with no slippage even when wet. Im thoroughly impressed with them.
Great review but from the outside view look in to me the nittos seemed more predictable and carried their traction through vs the zillas would kinda slip then hook and then slip and hook. I also think the narrower profile of the nittos puts a little more ground pressure than the zillas so that’s why they tend to hook and stay hooked. Great test but the nittos imo are the winners. Great test and thanks for doing it
I agreed at first impressions with the tires but in the long run the zillas do better for us and 5 other people that tried them. When I went back to zillas I realized the stiffness of the nittos really hurt the performance and the tires at even 3psi tended to to slip more then zillas at 8 psi.
How many miles did you put on the Nittos prior to switching back to Zillas? I’m in Arizona and have never been able to justify Zillas due tread wear and hearing complaints about how they handle at speed. Curious if the Nittos last longer?
I put about 200 miles on them and I’d say the tread wear is better then zillas. They are a little harder and corner better. If you want high speed and a good rock tire like kings of hammers type of racing nittos would be a contender for me
Lateral traction is something iv never seen mentioned. So the nittos try to stay on line better rather than push? Very interesting take. I feel like they’re both grest tires
Yes, the nittos tend not to slide from side to side like on the very first obstacle in the video, zillas tend to slide along the rock before they will climb up it with nittos they are unlikely to slide in that instance so it’s easier to hold a line
big daddy is a diffrent animal wet. I have a video of myself crawling it over rocktoberfest. my spedometer read 0 mph the whole way up. but it was dry. 35 stickies
Both have stock mufflers but I have the evo shocker. It’s just a electric dump for the exhaust for loud straight pipe then hit the switch and it’s quiet as new
@@SKINNYPEDALADDICTS lol. I found your machine video sometime after that. Like the videos. Just came across the channel! Liked the advice on the new smart lok 2022 and up.
Little more ground clearance and I personally like the look of the bigger tires. I think it’s easier going up ledges with the bigger tires also. Part failures depends on the driver really.
I tried removing my rear sway bar, (front is removed) but I dnt have limiter straps , do they help , mine was very tippy feeling, I will be getting fronts forsure tho
@@ramonruybal9808 I put one on my RZR last year and absolutely love it. Keeps the front end from coming up when your climbing ledges and rock obstacles
Was like 4 lbs heavier for the nittos. But the nittos felt like dead weight and the zillas felt lighter on a wheel. It was strange. Both sets of tires were on the same wheel in this weight comparison.
The mud zilla sucks in the mud as-well but I think the Roxxzilla will get you through your average mud hole on a trail. So we got both tires full of mud to have a fair comparison of the more east coast trails since there is more mud out that way.

Awesome! It’s a personal preference thing for sure!

great comparison video. for me the rockzillas are a better looking tire. they are my next tire purchase.
I agree the zillas look cooler. I miss how much they smoothed bumps out.

@@SKINNYPEDALADDICTS thanks for the feedback.
Damn Chris, I remember the first time both of us went up little blue. You didnt have any issues with the old tires.
I don’t have issues still just was trying to make the sxs struggle to see the difference

Yeah wet changes everything. I have been down it in the rain and it was a slip n slide sliding the whole way on zillas
@@SKINNYPEDALADDICTS disney is a different animal in general wet.
@@LineTanner got that right!
Nice video!!! What exhaust is running on that XMR? Sounds a lot better than the XRC 😂

@@tcnpsu1 thanks for watching!
Ohhh yeah😂😂
What’s advantage with 35 over 32 besides parts failures
Little more ground clearance and I personally like the look of the bigger tires. I think it’s easier going up ledges with the bigger tires also. Part failures depends on the driver really.
I tried removing my rear sway bar, (front is removed) but I dnt have limiter straps , do they help , mine was very tippy feeling, I will be getting fronts forsure tho
They help but not much. You just have to get used to the feeling or you’ll have to keep it hooked up.
@@SKINNYPEDALADDICTS ok thank u for response
Get you an Halo Electric rear sway bar. Have the best of both worlds
@@jasonkeith633 electric sway bar from halo ? Never heard of that I'll check into
@@ramonruybal9808 I put one on my RZR last year and absolutely love it. Keeps the front end from coming up when your climbing ledges and rock obstacles
Dry would be a better test imho Wait till you get some proper heat in them😉
I have had them in dry, wet, snow, mud, and on ice. Spend 2 months riding before I made this video
What tire pressure you running in the nittos?
3-4psi
What’s the weight difference?
Was like 4 lbs heavier for the nittos. But the nittos felt like dead weight and the zillas felt lighter on a wheel. It was strange. Both sets of tires were on the same wheel in this weight comparison.
Which one is taller?
Rockzillas 35/10/15 are like 1/2” taller
@@SKINNYPEDALADDICTS 👍
I would give the nitto some break in time before I gave them a true review
I put 200 miles on them in about 4 trips before I made this video.
There called roxxzilla not mudzilla , I’ll take them all day over the rest for rock crawling. Probably not the best for dirt & muddy terrain

Come hit ray rocks
