2000 Mile Maxxis Carnivore Review and Why We Switched to Maxxis Roxxzillas

Whats up everyone, we made the switch from our carnivores to Maxxis Roxxzillas. The carnivores just werent cutting it for the type of riding we do, Pennsylvania trails are mainly rocky, along with Hatfield McCoy trails, Tennessee, and other places we ride so I feel the Roxxzillas were the right choice, and after having them on the trails we did at Ivy Branch I am 100% happy with the choice we made.....

Went from Bighorn 2.0s to Carnivores and noticed same thing with ruts. Theres not much to bite just slick sidewall. I was a big fan of my old Bighorns those really did me good, but were smaller tires.

I'm running 32 carnivores, but I don't ride as much as yall do! Mines still new! Wish I'd done rockzillas now!

@TheCanAmCrew 3 жыл бұрын

It all depends on the type of terrain you ride too. The carnivores might be a great tire for you. I’m out of PA and most of our trails are rocky. We’ll see how it goes. So far I’m really happy with them.

I came from 30 inch crawler XG. Now I have 32 inch Roxxzillas and my ass end is sliding like mad. 2017 turbo R. They climb well but man do my rear tires break loose easy in the hard pack. Maybe the crawlers were just stickier. I thought the zillas would have better grip on the dirt. 4 wheel drive is awesome with them of course.

@TheCanAmCrew 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve actually had the opposite happen to me. They hook so much that it’s unsettling lol. Maybe try a lower psi. I run 8-9 in mine and they don’t slide at all. I haven’t tried the crawlers yet though to compare.

I run carnivores and for the riding I do they are great. My question that I have often wondered...changing the size from 30 to 32. Does this effect the speedometer at all

@TheCanAmCrew 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it will change the speedometer. I don’t know how much though. We went from 28” to 30” and now we’re at 32” tires so I would imagine it changed a few miles per hour. I’m sure a dealer could recalibrate it too.

How about deep mud clay mix like in the nastier areas of Mines and Meadows? I dont look for mud but sometimes it finds me. Also I swapped that viscolock for a torqlocker last year, probably the best money I have spent on the machine, so far. I keep up with my friends XMRs with smartlock a lot better, however the cryptids on their machines do have the mud advantage.

@TheCanAmCrew 3 жыл бұрын

We run mines and meadows a lot. A friend of ours runs the roxxzillas and they have been great in the mud there. I had mine swamped in some deep mud at ivy branch to and it just dug it’s way out.

Well they are shutting down for 2 weeks for trail maintenance. However mud is what we get during a spring thaw. At the same time though I have run into more dirt road riders than actual offroaders that don't know what a black trail is supposed to be or how to read a trail marker.

Ya, we thought about getting a set of beadlocks but haven’t because we just bought these wheels a few months ago haha.. I’ve always had pretty good luck running around 10psi. No punctures or sidewall cuts. How have your tires and beadlocks held up? I hear a lot of people have issues with slow leaks.

@TheCanAmCrew 3 жыл бұрын

They weren’t any louder than the other tires we’ve ran. After running the road for a minute or 2 they really hook especially around turns haha. They throw little pebbles and road debris more as well but I’m guessing it’s because of the compound.

Thanks. I just bought a new x3 DS this weekend and was looking at going to 32s. I wanted to keep the stock rims though if possible. Do you think 1.5" wheel spacers would work or is that a bad idea? I see everyone talking about the wheel offset and no one mentions spacers instead

I’ve always preferred to run wheels instead of spacers because of bump steer and feed back issues but I know a few people that run spacers and never have anything negative to say about them.

I don’t spin them unless I’m trying to heat them up. I don’t do donuts or anything to cause premature wear so I’m sure that helps. We ride a good bit of road too. I’ll be buying them again for sure.
