- Buy the Maxxis Carnivore 30x10x14 Tires at a Deal: amzn.to/2HFy4j4
Here are the 32x10x14 at a deal: amzn.to/2YkQ3k5
Rock Ready - Maxxis Carnivor tires were designed for west coast riding, but the aggressive design works well for riders who travel the country finding some of the best trails available. The radial tires are similar to light truck mud terrains. They are an 8-ply tire but have fairly soft sidewalls for a good ride and traction in soft terrain.
When looking to upgrade our factory Bighorn 2.0 tires on our Can-Am Maverick X3 XRS, we looked for a long lasting, aggressive, 8ply tire that was not too heavy. Our stock 30x10x14 Bighorn 2.0's were 31 pounds each. The Maxxis Carnivore in the same size weighed in at 34.5 pounds. For a 3.5 pound increase, we feel the durability and increased traction will be more of a benefit than a hindrance to power.
Tools Used to Mount The Maxxis Carnivore
Mounting the Maxxis Carnivore tires is no different than any other tires on the market. Make sure the tires and rims are clean. Apply a light layer of soapy water for lubrication and slide them on. We used the following items to help us through.

Why Maxxis Carnivor Tires
When looking at the option for light-truck inspired tires, a few items were very important to us. We wanted a very square tire that was a minimum of 8-ply. The tire had to be light as we were not going to be happy spinning 60-pounds in each corner. Because we are in Michigan and not out west for most of our riding, we wanted something very aggressive to help us through some of the Michigan mud. With that said, all roads led to the Maxxis Carnivor tire because it was only 3.5 pounds more than stock and has a seriously aggressive tread pattern that should clean out well in mud. The tires a sipped for traction on rock and hardpack. The compound is fairly soft, but will still last a very long time. Also, the sidewalls are not too stiff to make the ride harsh or to make passing through sand impossible.
Testing
In this video, we were able to get the tires mounted on the rims and installed on the X3. In the very near future, we plan to do some tests to see if the 3.5-pound increase in rotational mass has any effect on the acceleration and if the traction provided makes up for the weight. we also have some friends in the business close by who can do more testing and walk us through an increase in power that might be wanted. Lots of great stuff happening in the very near future so make sure you subscribe to the channel.
Set them flat on the rim on a top down 5 gallon bucket and then you can push down with 2 knees and one hand while airing with the other hand. Works like a charm
Those 30x10x14 carnivores came stock in my new Rmax. They are awesome!! Been too Hatfield McCoy, badlands and Bundy Hill off road parks
Nice to see you finally posting to this channel.
Thanks bud. Time is hard to come by but we have a lot of these projects going.
Love the shop and all the Milwaukee tools!
We love Milwaukee Tools!
i find it handy, especially with beadlocks to push the wheel in the the opposite direction as the rear bead to help get the bead to seat. works most of the time, especially if the tire was banded down during shipment
Purchased 4 hardly pre-owned Bighorns 2.0's for a $100= saved me some serious dough-re-mi.
Yamaha Offers the Big Horn 2.0 in 8 ply. Exclusive to Yamaha is what I hear... Standard on the YXZ
3.5 lbs at each corner is a lot more weight on these SXS... starting and stopping.
Pretty tire.
Nice video with good info.... I'm looking forward to your next installment (part 2). (updated -- to correct mistaken question)
Part 2 is uploaded.
Just watched it...thank you for the info...
@@wrenchesrides I cant find it
can you pls provide link
Pro eagle jack is where it’s at!
Hells yeah, but $$$
Rode 35 years at west va 19 at Hatfield McCoy legal trails
I ride in the mountain west. Bighorns just don't hold up. That was on three different machines.
I own a 2020 X3 xrc turbo rr 72" wide
will stock canam OEM 14inch non beadlock rims fit on the machine with no rub or issues non beadlock rims 14inch
Hope to see the review video won’t to know about power loss and handling I ride fast hard most of the time sand hard pack dirt south Florida mud comes up I don’t try to find it but have to pass through to get to some trails just don’t won’t to lose a lot of power and do t have the cash to put out on clutching yet I’m in a xp 1000 4 seater
We will be spending this weekend on the trails. From the road riding, we have done acceleration seems the same but there is a noticeable roll on braking. The small amount of weight added is noticeable when stopping.
Wanting to but these on my 2021 sportsman 850
Excellent. Thumbs up.
Put a racket strap around the tire and tighten it up some and u won’t fight it👍
...racket..? 🤦♂️
Great video and review. Very professional video and information.
Thank you Brian
Curious how these tires, probably a 28 inch, would work in an outlander 1000 xt.
I'm sure it's a better tire but my maxxis bighorn sit almost dead level across the top
Did you guys ever figure out if the machine got faster with the carnivores?
What is a good tire for commander 800R my Bighorn Maxxis need replaced stay with them or?? Trail and mud riding??
Great video guys! I am wondering after watching your other video which tires do you like better for Michigan ridding, the Maxxis carnivores or the STI x comp ATR in a 32”? Or recommend? I have a can am X3 RS
Carnivores rock! They are soft and wear pretty fast. STI XComps were amazing, but heavy. If I was in for speed, i would go with the Carnivore. If I did not care and wanted the longest lasting tires, XComp.
Much nicer tires, should work better and last longer, great video👍
Thanks Joe!
HI...if i run those exact same tires with bead locks with only 6 or 7 psi instead of the recommanded 14 psi will that harm the tire ..rendering the steel belt inside more flexable thus weakening it
I have done it multiple times without issue.
I like those tires Can I mount those tires on the stock rims on a XDS I know the back rim is 8 in and the front rims are 7. Do you think there will be any kind of clearance issue with the back end thank you
You will not have any issue with the 8-inch wide rim.
11,000 miles on my 2.0 on my Rubicon
Maybe there's something I don't know I just bought some 30s by 10 by 14 and when you measure them there only 28 in can somebody tell me what is going on
Hey guys, great video. I was attempting to locate the jack you used in the video and the hyperlinked jack seems different. Can you provide make and model as I too have to use 2x4s and this is a great tool to stabilize them while lifting.
Here is the EXACT jack we have. It is hard to find as it is a Craftsman. amzn.to/2DkNar6
Michigan guy too! I do lot of road riding how will these hold up or should I go with something else?
They wear pretty fast on road conditions.
@@wrenchesrides i live in Michigan too looking for something too thought yeah this is the tire but i want something that's going to last a little longer for Mi road conditions so wonder what you would suggest?
I've had bad luck putting different tires on my stock beadlocks. I've blown 2 beads on the trails. What are your thoughts of this tire on a non beadlock rim?
They will work fine on either a beadlock or non-beadlock rim.
Sxsblog💪
sxsblog!! the best
Also, I have a 64 inch X3. Would I need spacers for these tires?
Not for 30's or 32's
Could you please give the actual height and width of these 30x10x14's as they sit on the machine, maxxis usually run small. Thanks
29-1/4 to the outside edge of the tire and 29-1/2 to the top. That is after 1,200 miles.
The bighorn is soo much better in Michigan sand. And I must say after going from bighorn to carnivores,,, the bighorns were better at everything.
Hey I have a 19 X3 X MR will 32 fit on the stock rim or is a offset needed ?
X MR is 72" wide? if so, it will fit. If it is 64" wide, you need an offset.
@@wrenchesrides thanks for the reply it is a 64
Did you run spacers in the rear? I’m looking at going to the same tire on my x3.
No spacers.
Thanks, great video.
Did these tires measure a true 30 inches?
No they don't, and they also are not the same width as he said in the video. The bighorns area a lot wider once mounted.
That kind of shop and your using you knee to set the beads if you don't have a tire bar use a 10 dollar ratchet strap
Seriously, we are showing that anyone can mount these tires.
Should invest in a tire seater.
Agreed, but $$$ and shop space.
I wasn't talking about those big thousand dollar ones.
I was talking about something like th-cam.com/video/aLBRMpyU_Z0/w-d-xo.html
Gotcha. If we played with normal tires that would be worth it. With beadlocks, we only have to get one side of the bead sealed and it is not that hard. With two people, there is no struggle.
I ride Hatfield McCoy been out west.....sxs to much power for a 2.0
I don’t run any more than 5psi on my tires if they can carry the load.
Good Traction there! We have no aired down that low with these.
8 pounds max! 8 ply & bead locks!!
30 or 32 hmmm
30's are shy of 30"... If I had to do this over again, I would have went with 32's....
Wrenches & Rides thanks guys good info
They DOT
No
Ive heard a bunch of guys say they are dot. idk tho
