Nice tire review. I am totally new to the UTV world and got a used Polaris Ranger. Mostly thinking of utility use but the recreational use has really intrigued me the last month or so. My stock 12” tires have seen better days and starting to look at replacement options. Going to a 14” rim opens a lot of options but I don’t have a huge amount of body clearance. People tell me Why don’t you get a better machine and I say why don’t you give me $25 or $30,000 and I will.
Really enjoyed the review on your Terrabites. I put them on my 2017 RZR 900S shortly after you put your first set on. Although you are a much more prolific rider than I am (also much younger) I have managed to put a bit over 1,500 miles on mine with zero complaints. Most of our riding is in the Eastern Sierras much like the terrain you ride in and I have had no complaints, even in the most challenging situations. Like you, I will likely buy another set of them when the time comes. We sure do enjoy your many adventures on the trails.
Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them. I have a 2020 Maverick Sport and I put 30 inch terabytes on a couples months back and I agree with you. Good tires, no issues. They don't do anything great but do everything well. For my style of riding they work perfectly.
Perfectly said. They aren't a perfect tire, but they do everything reasonably well, and the price is right. I got 5,000 miles out of my last set, 1,000 on these so far. Money well spent in my opinion. Thanks for watching !
@@MyATVlife may I trouble you to measure the actual height when mounted and aired up? I am due for a set of tires and on my machine I currently have 29 inchers that measure actual 28. I can't go any smaller due to how rough the terrain in my area is so I'm hoping these are at least 28 tall. Please confirm!
So many questions here, Jason. I have a 2022 MT 1000. I want to change out stock wheels tires to gain ground clearance, but I want to maintain a 50" width as much as possible. My question is about wheel offset. I am looking at the Tusk Terrabite 29x9-14 tires. Hoping to get 14x7 wheels with a 6.0 + 1.0 offset. I'm not seeing any 14-inch wheels with that offset. They all are 5.0 + 2.0. If I go to 15X7 wheels, I can find the 6.0+ 1.0 offset. It sounds like you're ok with the wheels you used, even with the 5.0+2.0 offset. Is the offset the same front and back? Great channel. So many helpful tips for the newbies.
Thank you ! Yes, same offset front and rear. There are 6+1 offset wheels out there, but they are hard to find. Tusk makes a few wheels with a 6+1 offset. Mine is closer to a 5+2 than a 6+1 but not quite. I think a genuine 5+2 might be pushing it. Be patient, keep looking, you'll find something you like. Check RMATV for 6+1 wheels. Maybe call them. Maybe they don't list them all on their website. I've seen several guys at the meets with Tusk 6+1 wheels.
Great video and like most tire videos folks forget to mention pressures, so with the trail ridin you do what pressures are you runnin on mostly?? I just got the terribites the 10 ply though and love them so far....really good tire.
Hi good video just bought some new terabytes I was wondering if you could tell me what air pressure you run your tires at and in what conditions? Thanks.
The set of 27's I had seemed pretty happy at 13 rear and 11 front. The 29's seem right at 12 rear and 10 front. I could get away with a little less in the rear if I didn't have so much weight on the back. The traction improved quite a bit at lower pressures so it's just finding a good balance of traction with not too much sidewall flex.
I may have missed it but, what about changing axles or gears going up that big a tire? I’ve always heard you don’t wanna go higher than 28’s before you need to start changing stuff.
Clutching is really only necessary to regain lost acceleration, and in my case I really didn't notice any loss in power and acceleration, but to be fair I don't drive my machine that way, so my 0-60 times aren't important. Tire and wheel weight have a bigger effect on clutching than tire diameter in my opinion, and this tire and wheel combo really isn't that heavy.
From what I understand it's a free online course. Takes like 20 minutes. I'm still not sure how they'll know if someone has taken the course or not, especially us out of staters 🤷🏻♂️
I’m looking at buying a new set of tires for my Maverick Trail . I’m like you, I usually don’t ride hard. I ride mostly here in the southwest mountains. They are more rocky trails. Do you think these tires would perform and wear well in this terrain?
Some of the guys that are running Tusk wheels are a bit narrower than me with the same tire. I don't know which style of wheel, but I'm sure they are Tusk wheels.
Nope. 👍 Clears just fine, no rubbing. Front shocks preload is set to full soft and rear is up two clicks (for all of the weight in the rear), so no "lift" that way either. Plenty of room for 29's
reviewing you new tires while showing the ride footage was great. Good narration as always. Enjoy the ride!

If I remember right they were about 28.5 inches tall at 13 psi.

Thanks for the advice, Jason! I'll keep looking for the 6-1 rims.
Great video and like most tire videos folks forget to mention pressures, so with the trail ridin you do what pressures are you runnin on mostly??
I just got the terribites the 10 ply though and love them so far....really good tire.
I've been running 10 psi in the front and 12 psi in the rear 👍
I feel the same way about riding thru mud. Gets too messy and causes excessive abuse on the machine.
Hi good video just bought some new terabytes

The traction improved quite a bit at lower pressures so it's just finding a good balance of traction with not too much sidewall flex.
Great information. After finding out that the wheels are closer to a 5/2 offset did you measure your overall width?
Yes. I ended up just under 52.5 inches. I was about 51.5 with the stock wheels.
I may have missed it but, what about changing axles or gears going up that big a tire? I’ve always heard you don’t wanna go higher than 28’s before you need to start changing stuff.

I’ve heard that next year we will have to take a class and get sticker to ride in utah
From what I understand it's a free online course. Takes like 20 minutes. I'm still not sure how they'll know if someone has taken the course or not, especially us out of staters 🤷🏻♂️
I believe you won’t be able to get a out of state tag without proof. Also, if you get stopped by an officer and don’t have it, you can be ticketed
Here is a link to a flyer about the course recreation.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/OHV-Ed-Req-Flyer-version-3-no-QR-code.pdf
I’m looking at buying a new set of tires for my Maverick Trail . I’m like you, I usually don’t ride hard. I ride mostly here in the southwest mountains. They are more rocky trails. Do you think these tires would perform and wear well in this terrain?
I think they'd be great for that
Have you ever found or been told of a true 6+1 offset wheel for the Maverick?
Some of the guys that are running Tusk wheels are a bit narrower than me with the same tire. I don't know which style of wheel, but I'm sure they are Tusk wheels.
Did you have to put a lift on for you to clear the 29” tires?
Nope. 👍
Clears just fine, no rubbing. Front shocks preload is set to full soft and rear is up two clicks (for all of the weight in the rear), so no "lift" that way either. Plenty of room for 29's
Can you do a video on your spare gas can.
th-cam.com/video/HKyoHbS-_YA/w-d-xo.html
I originally had a 3 gallon up there but it was too big. I run a 2 gallon now
Did you put wider tire at the back or all are 29x9x14 ?
All 29x9-14
@@MyATVlife So mine came with 26x8x12. Do you think I can upgrade with this set ? I have A maverick Trail 1000 2022 :)
Mine came that way too, all Maverick Trails do. I went the same size all around so I can rotate them.
@@MyATVlife Nice. Thanks...Would you think they would work well in deep snow too ?
I've been told they aren't great in snow, but I can't confirm or deny that. I've never had mine in snow.
What rear cargo rack are you running?
Ryfab 👍
What rear cage are you running,
It's the Ryfab cargo rack with their spare tire carrier.
Can you send me link for this tiers
29x9-14 is the size
