The Can Am Crew with some RMAX's

I've been watching their stuff for awhile, we ride a lot of the same places. That one really shows how well a Roxxzilla sticky does on our wet muddy east coast rocks. The only thing close is maybe a 370.

I just put a set of 35's on the KRX last week. I had cut sidewall I didn't trust anymore and a tire shop along the trail had a smoking deal on the Roxxzilla's. They are pretty amazing but I dont think I would recommend them for an only tire. I'm going to keep running the ITP Versacross anywhere the sticky wont help.

There is a set of the 808's that Budro runs going on the Rmax next week to see how they do. If figured if he likes them they are worth a try. We are hoping the very flat tread along with going to 4+4 wheels with help with stability.

I ran Maxxis Creepy Crawler stickies (762 compound IIRC) on my Zuk and they worked better than everything else I have run in everything. I wanted to give the Roxxzilla's a try last time but the ITP's were a much better deal back then. This little shop had the 35 Roxxzilla's mounted, out the door for $1099. I couldn't pass that up. I put 200 miles on them last weekend, almost all the the rain, and they were great.
 
Zillas appear to be a directional tire correct?
That is the only reason I am switching from the Interco Snipers 920, great tire but rotation and carrying a spare.....
Yes.
 
32:00 on shows the power of diff lock vs others even when you can't run as big of tires as the others. However, I wish trails would limit tire size. Many are running 35s or bigger and rutting out the trails in 2wd in other scenarios. To me 33s are good enough but some will want smaller and that's fine with me too.
All the machines in that video have a true locked diff. The X3's on 32's both have Halo 30's installed. The X3 on 35's is welded. The Rmax and KRX both have it stock. That spot is just one that really favor's being a little narrow and a shorter tire that dont get wedged under the gas line on the right.
