Hi. I’m wanting to switch out my stock big horns for a set of bf goodrich km3’s but a little worried about loss of power or smoking belts on my 2021 can am x3 turbo r. Would I have to do clutching due to the weight difference between the two? Not really wanting having to do anything to the clutching. Any advice is appreciated
You will loose a little power and breaking performance, there's no way around it, but they will be much more durable over rough terrain, and smoother. I think you can try them with stock clutching and you might not have issues. Lucky for you the X3 belts and drivetrain are very reliable and a clutch kit can solve any potential problems. the ride quality of the bigger, better tires is worth it.
It’s crazy how the market has changed. Been running the mongrels with no issues other than a little sketchy on turns. Never had a blow out and have lent my spare numerous times to others who have blown tires. After this video looked at the ultra Ross but would have to switch to a 15” rim to get 32” s so not gonna happen. Probably gonna stick to my 32” mongrels 10ply for now. Great video and man I wanna have your job because I can’t ride near as much as you!
Chupacabra Offroad don’t know yet only have about 300 miles on them as of now but I’m in love so far! I have an 18 xp turbo with Fox rc2s done by shock therapy and paired with those tires I end up going scary fast lol
The Kanati Mongrels have been upgraded from 8 ply to 10 ply! So the sidewalls should be one of the stronger sidewalls on the market. Tread pattern is the same, but the Tire carcass has been redesigned & are DOT approved & radial design. So they definitely stepped up their game, so that was enough to convince me to buy the Mongrels!
Thank you for watching. We have finally become setup to release a lot more content on a regular basis! We like starting conversations like this, with no "real world reviews" on most products, we have to work together with buying decisions.
Hey. Thanks for the great content. Just curious why you went away from the XG’s? I have 30’ XG set on my General XP4 and I’m considering getting the XG in a 32’. Thoughts?
I have the ITP ultra cross only trouble I’ve had is flats on 2 of the 4 both on the driver side, the lugs seem to trap rocks and get shoved thru the tire, also had trouble with severe out of balance that took a lot of weight to correct, they handle fine and grip fine I ride a lot of rocky trails in Arizona
Even though a few top racers still use them, it looks like ITP is focused on the Coyote and some other options are better. I still think the ITP Ultracross is a good tire for the price.
Thanks. The Big Horns really are great for what they are, but I've done some solid trips without full size spares (first time I've done this) and not been concerned about it. So many good options out there, feels like there is a new SxS tire every week.
Chupacabra Offroad Lots of tires to choose from. I’m in far west Texas so it’s mostly desert terrain. Also looking to get some shock therapy shocks to help smoothen the ride.
Ds tensor vs k2 vs itp ultra cross what one would u pick?? Doing trail riding n very aggressive riding looking for good grip n good cornering. Its for a 2021 can am xs rr turbo 4dr seater 195 hp. Also what tire size would be the best 32 or 33??? Thx
32" BFG KR2 Baja or the DS 33", Tensors wear faster but are less expensive. Two of the best right now IMO. The tracking and predictability of our race car improved noticeably when we got rid of the ITP's and switched to Tensors...
I have a 1000 2018 RZR XP Turbo. will be replacing the original tires and going to a set of 30". I ride in the North on gravel, some hard surface roads, mud and all kind of conditions trails. I ride in the AZ desert in the winter. I am thinking of going to a 5:2 offset rim to keep somewhat narrow for the trails in WI, MI, SD. Thought on offset and brand of tire?
Dean Anderson method and Tensor are 15% off right now, I’d look carefully at current deals, and there are so many good options. I like a 5/2 or 6/1 option.
Hello, nay advice on whether I should do the 30" over the 31" for a 2019 1000XP4? All stock. I saw some of teh ITP's in a 31 but not sure if I should buy the 30 inch instead. I mostly do Arizona trail riding.
Top speed? A taller tire could give more top speed, but the speedo would be off. But yes, bigger tires are heavier and acceleration and braking performance isnt as good, but their clearance and bigger size makes holes and whoops smaller, always a trade off...
I'd be curious about Tusk Terrabite Kevlar and Maxxis Liberty for primarily desert use like Parker with embedded sharp rocks. Tensor desert tires are too much $$ for me, but I'd be interested in a review.
Mike Desilets keep in mind Rocky Mountain raised the price on the Terrabites, they were initially “cheap” but are now a similar price to a lighter, race proven ITP Ultracross... double check pricing before you buy, Terrabites are heavy.... and since I’ve purchased the BFG’s Rocky Mountain has raised the price.
@@ChupacabraOffroad Thanks. The ITPs ultra cross have a decent gap between lugs on the outer edge that look vulnerable. I know they are used by a lot of racers.
KR2's wear better and will last longer, amazing grip. I like the width of the Tensor. I'd go KR2, unless you get a better deal on the Tensor. I do prefer the height of the 33" Tensor, it's noticeable in the rocks.
I haven't been able to try either, the Tensors have a lot of praise, but I don't know many people that run Fuels, they look to be a little on the heavy side.
Why do utv tires have a rounded tread width/tire edge vs car tires that have square edges with flat tread width? For example, bfg has flatter tread width but mongrels are as round as a ball but neither are as flat as a car
Good question, above my pay grade, but I feel like we went through a "truck tire" phase with SxS owners getting truck tires with the Discount Tire Road Hazard warranty, but they were heavy and caused excessive wear, and people didn't like the square shape as well, these are so much lighter. The Yokahama Super Digger is an example of the opposite, very round, which has always worked well for lightweight buggies, I think the tire can be lighter and slide more predictably, swapp through whoops and it is compliant and they hook up better in loose terrain. Just my 2 pesos... You see wider, flatter, chunkier tires for the rock crawling guys, so it really varies on terrain too.
Marshall, I kept it 100% stock and had no belt issues. I've used a Bikeman performance kit in the past, and I could have probably squeezed out more performance with the clutch kit, but IMO a Turbo is plenty quick for the hardpack, and I ran super light 30" Skat Trak paddles for the dunes.
@@ChupacabraOffroad Thanks! You must have read my mind because I run a 30" CST Sandblast paddle at the dunes and love the way the turbo performs with the stock clutching.
great video, more like this. i have the liberty 32 in the x3 rc rr and i don't know if i will buy them again or some bfgs. i am just worried about wich ones have better traction from 0 to what ever speed. what do you think
I haven't used the Liberty, but I highly doubt they are better than BFG's, those tires are amazing. I just got Tensor DS 33's, will make a video on those soon...
great info brother. I am in the market for some 32's on our x3 max rs. The BFG's sound great in ur review. Whats ur thoughts on the Maxxis Liberties & Carnivores or Quadboss for the usual terrains here in Az?
Originally I was excited about the Liberties, but I haven't ridden in them, Maxxis is a really good brand and would consider buying if the price was right. As for Carnivores, the tread pattern seems better suited to different parts of the country, and Quadboss is more of a "budget" play, so honestly I wouldn't consider them, as my assumption is they are cheaply made and heavy. The Tusk Terrabite seems to be loved for the budget tire market, and it won V2R, it's just heavy.
Thanks for the sub. I'd go for the Liberties if the price was right. We are lucky as consumers, there's 5-6 tires I'd buy and probably be really happy with.
Personally I'd go for the Tensor DS, the Regulators are heavy. tensor's website shows the DS in 2 different compounds, so maybe they make a harder compound that isn't as soft as the race tire?
I was always between 14-16. FYI is desert racing you have to fun much higher, I was part of a team that flatted these tires at 18psi, when we race we are 22-24psi.
Honestly I don't know anyone that's even tried them (they aren't popular in the Southwest) but you can tell its a rock crawler specific tire, and the weight is reasonable and I like the different compounds they offer.
Brian, it's called context, just a little extra info about me and relaying to the audience so people know I have a few others in my experience bucket....

Haha thanks for the props. As for riding, I'm living the dream this year! Being able to ride from the front door is a game changer.
Az guy running itp ultra cross in 32”. I absolutely love them! My buddy bought 31” for his xp1000 to and loves them as well.
Awesome bang for the buck. Are you getting 2,000 miles out of them in the AZ terrain?
Chupacabra Offroad don’t know yet only have about 300 miles on them as of now but I’m in love so far! I have an 18 xp turbo with Fox rc2s done by shock therapy and paired with those tires I end up going scary fast lol

I'd go with the 31's, especially on a 4 seater, the ground clearance is really noticeable and worth it.
Can you go faster with the 32" vs a 30"? Or does the added weight and power needed to turn the wheels rob the horsepower?
Top speed? A taller tire could give more top speed, but the speedo would be off. But yes, bigger tires are heavier and acceleration and braking performance isnt as good, but their clearance and bigger size makes holes and whoops smaller, always a trade off...
Great comparison, although I'd really like to see how they compare to the gbc terramasters. I was really impressed with these tires on my yamaha yxz.
I've heard good things on the Terramaster, I wonder how noticable the feel is when you swap the sides of it, with their unique tread pattern.
Thanx for info....nicely presented.
Matthew lund thank you

Hi I'm new to this and I have question. To have 32 inch tires on stock 2019 rzr xp4 1000 Non- turbo what parts do I need to upgrade?
what's your take on the new nitto trail grapplers for sxs? can you make a video on those vs the bfgoodrich
Thanks for the videos man! I know you’ve ran both tires the Tensors & KR2s..which ones do you recommend?
KR2's wear better and will last longer, amazing grip. I like the width of the Tensor. I'd go KR2, unless you get a better deal on the Tensor. I do prefer the height of the 33" Tensor, it's noticeable in the rocks.
Great write up, what about the fuel 32 and tensor 32? Curious about those since I’m on the fence for itp.

Great vid bro. Keep up the good work!
Great comparison!!!! Love it, how about the bfg vs the coyote itp, turbo s stock tires!
Good question... the Coyotes better be bulletproof at 44lbs! YOu can Run 35" Tensors for only 1 pound more...
Great video and insight. Did you do any clutch work when you went to the 32 inch tires? If so, what kit did you go with?
Marshall, I kept it 100% stock and had no belt issues. I've used a Bikeman performance kit in the past, and I could have probably squeezed out more performance with the clutch kit, but IMO a Turbo is plenty quick for the hardpack, and I ran super light 30" Skat Trak paddles for the dunes.

Thanks for the sub. I'd go for the Liberties if the price was right. We are lucky as consumers, there's 5-6 tires I'd buy and probably be really happy with.
Great video info! How are 32's in turning radius?
New Lion radius? Neither tire rubbed and full lock, but they probably don’t turn as tight of a circle as stock? Not 100% sure in that, never measured.
I'd really like to know how the Tensor Regulators stack up.

Chupacabra Offroad thank you for the reply! I will give them a try at 14-16
Wow! I didn’t know that the bfg’s were that expensive
The BFG Bajas are big money, but probably the best tire you can get.
Chupacabra Offroad That’s probably going to be my next set after I go long travel
Holy cow 1500-2000 miles? How much tread is left at that time?
Y Didn’t you stick with the growlers if you liked them
Never know what you may be missing... the BFGs are simply better!
Great channel, not even into offroading here but you deserve way more subs. Sub 485 and like 39 keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks! We are building momentum, thanks for the feedback!
What about the 32 super Atv warriors rt?
Honestly I don't know anyone that's even tried them (they aren't popular in the Southwest) but you can tell its a rock crawler specific tire, and the weight is reasonable and I like the different compounds they offer.
Tensor tires ?
Haven’t tried them yet, but probably buying the DS 33’s on my next SxS...
What's your favorite 32" tire?
Pro armor crawlers
Arisun
Love my Tensor 32" would like to see the Tensor 33" or the new ITP Terra Hook.
Why are you talking about tires that aren’t part of the review? This vendor could’ve been 1/10th the time. Blah blah blah blah blah
