Got to take about a 4 hour ride yesterday on the new 32" Roxxzillas, I knew there's be a good bit of difference simply because of the 32's versus the 30's...but the whole ride was amazing! The bigger size definitely smoothed out a bunch of the really rutted and rocky places but the grip of these tires is outstanding! I'm so used to the trails I ride in the mountain behind the house that everything kind of stood out, not having to get into the pedal so much in the climbs, not slipping and sliding in all the places I was used to, being able to crawl in places I never could crawl before.

My neighbor went with me (yeah the guy that landed on me when I put the RMAX on its side) and even he said he could see and feel a big difference...he's been back in there with me now at least a dozen times.

To say I was stunned at the newfound performance is simply an understatement!

Most of the time when I upgrade something, whether on a motorcycle, ATV, or SxS, etc. the hype is far too often more of a blah when I do it...these things absolutely live up to their reputation! :)

100% agree! Our riding crew has a huge variety of machines with a variety of tires and wheels. The are ALL slowly changing to Roxxzillas as their tires wear out. I hate to sound like a commercial, but for our environment, the Roxxzillas are hard to beat. The side bite alone is a huge advantage. They also seem to be more resistant to punctures and cuts.

I would have really lost a bet, where I ride my money would have been on the more aggressive style tread. (y)

Ya....me too! A friend has the Warriors and they look awesome. Very aggressive tread pattern. I thought they would be incredible in our area. They don't hold a candle to the capability of the Roxxzillas. I was shocked as well.

I've only got a few hundred miles on my Roxxzilla's so far but they are amazing. They are like cheating. It makes it a little hard to lead because you roll something effortlessly only to look back a few minutes later to realize no else made it. If you watch many Youtube vids of groups riding you start to notice once one person gets them they whole group soon follows.

Same way I described it, cheating! 😂

Pictures... we like pictures!

I took a look at the price on a set of 32x10x15.... OUCH. I guess you get what you pay for, but wow, $375 a tire. I do remember jra found his at a great deal.

If you look around on Facebook they usually can be had for about $250 a tire. As much as I hate FB it's the only place I every find deals on these tires.

This guy has 32x10R15 stickys for $219 right now.

Hi
On which surfaces do the Roxxzillas have their advantages?
They are a rock tire but do well on pretty much everything. Around here a rock or root is what stops you 90% of the time on a hill or in mud. Pavement isnt their friend though.

About 13 minutes in this video does a great job at showing how well Roxxzilla's work on wet, slick east coast rocks.

Wow, what a game changer those tires are. I started at 13 minutes in and at 15:45 the Talon comes through on "not zillas" and what a difference. He got winched and everyone else before him just eased up through there.

I want a tire that can ride roads and do what zillas do. I want the holy grail, LOL

Check out how low the 'zilla guys tire pressure is. I almost saw a rim hit the ground? They are wrapping those fingers to get traction. Impressive.

They do not shine in deep snow at all but most people that ride those conditions use a tire for winter dedicated to that.
Pretty dang impressive in sand though!

Which compound did you go with? Sticky or regular?

They do make the 32 in a non sticky. I know one guy that runs them. Hopefully we will have a Rush trip this year and can that trail to see the difference. People that have ran comp and standard say the comp compound is way better than the standard but the standard still does better the most other tire on the rocks. Can am crew says they are getting 3-4k miles out of a set of stickys with their riding type and I know they run a good bit of pavement in WV. If I get 1500-2000 out of mine I'll be happy.

If you watch some older stuff the RC and the PRO R started out on 370's then went Roxxzilla's pretty quick.
