Nice machine, and it's tough to beat. The reliability the machine has earned is worth ALOT. I honestly hope your wheel bearings, ball joints and tire-rods hold up. Obviously good driving makes a huge difference but Kawasaki still severely needs to step it up real bad and cut the shit of just enough milking it so bad. Yamaha just set the standard yet again. Compared to what we had before huge ball joints and real wheel bearings, 30" tires stock, very heavy duty CVT tranny, all steel diffs, excellent ground clearance, just all the way around phenomenal machine that just raised the bar is an extremely real way. Problem is man they're rmax4 1000 is 24-25,000 I mean WTF. That's the trade off, a living legend like the teryx, or built from day 1 the way we all wished for and pay an ungodly amount...... Excellent video, with an awesome trail rig man. Can only imagine how many others like myself all watch this wanting it so badly lol
I ran my Bighorns at 6.5psi in the front and 9 in the back for 6yrs flawlessly. They gave me 2700mi of life on dirt, sharp granite rock, and sand. I'm moving to Carnivores so we're hoping for good long life with no failures.
I’ve had good service from mine. I just crossed over 2100 miles and they’re still in pretty good shape. I do about 30-40% of my riding on asphalt, the rest is dirt, rock, and mud.
Nice buggy!! Just bought a 2021 Teryx LE last week, looking to do the same wheel / tire combo! Like the idea of having one spare. My brothers Yahmaha has carnivores and they are amazing on every terrain!
I have dang near the same unit, its a 22 S in the same color, and I'm now on 30's, same trails ive picked up 10mph more with more confidence in the tire and machine, it was like putting bigger shocks on!!! i'm running the Super grip tear drop beadlock 14x7 5+2 Front 4+3 rear, had to run a 1" spacer up front to clear tie rod, really only needed 1/2, but ehh, adjusted the front ride height 1/2 higher than rear. NO CLUTCH ISSUES YET..... 800+ miles with them, and could not be happier the tires are th ITP Ultracross R 30x10x14, added about 60lbs per corner, plays nice in the sand, and even better in the rocks.
@@DarkHollow26 I'm waiting on FED EX to bring my 28's today! Did you see any need to adjust your shocks for these tires and wheels? I have a 22 S model as well.
I didn’t need to adjust anything for the wheels to fit. They fit easily and do not rub without any adjustments. I adjusted the preload some on the front shocks but that was only to get some camber out of the front.
Nice machine. Looks awesome. I love the tire/wheel combo. I just got a used Teryx S 4 and was looking to put a windshield on it. I like the look of yours. What kind is that and do you like it?
It’s a Super ATV flip up windshield. Like it a lot it’s easy to change the positioning of it while riding. I had a different SXS and windshield prior and with it I had to stop, get out to open the windshield. So I definitely appreciate the ease of this one.
A 30x10x14 Carnivore weighs 34 lbs. Stock Bighorn 2's 27x11x14's weigh 28 lbs. The 27x9x14 Bighorns weigh 23 lbs. 4 Carnivores total 136 lbs. 4 Stock Bighorns 2's total 102 lbs. That's 34 extra lbs if mounted on stock Teryx wheels. Split that between 4 tires average 8.5 lbs extra weight per tire over stock. Not enough to tell a noticeable difference in my opinion even on a Teryx. I will trade 34 extra lbs for the added ground clearance any day. All weights come from Dennis Kirks Inc website.
Those weights probably are correct, however you can see the difference in the weight in this setup vs stock. May be less of a difference if you stay with the stock wheel. The stock wheel\ tire setup weigh 147.6 lbs vs 192 lbs with the 28” tire\ wheel setup. The 30’s will look better and I’m sure I’ll wind up with them, but that’ll probably be closer to when the warranty expires and I put a clutch in it. Ground clearance on it is already about 14” with over 2” in downward adjustment on the shock left so I’m happy with that.
Great looking machine , do you know about how much it changed the overall height of the machine ? I would love to do what you did but I only have about 2.5 inches of clearance on the opening of my garage as it sits right now
J B I just ordered your exact set up for my identical Teryx 4 2021. Please let me know the exact spacer size for the back wheels and where you got it from. Thank you!
Still want to and plan on it. I’ve seen plenty S models posted with 30’s and no issues. Seems the most they do is adjust preload some. I’ll wait until after clutch work though.
Not sure if you have FB or not. If you do there’s a Team Teryx group that has a lot of people posting 30’s on theirs. Most members will help you with anything you need to know.
I can’t remember right off whether it’s 5/2 in the rear or 4/3. However I do know the stock front wheels have less of a offset than the rear. That’s why if you switch to the same offset wheel all the way around. You have to get rear spacers or the rear width will be less than the front width.
If you had it to do over again would you go with the 28in square set up or a 29 inch stagger which is 9in in the front and 11s in the rear 30s all the way around...I don't want to mess with my clutch or anything else...I can't figure out what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Good question. I definitely would still stay with the same wheels\ tire all the way around for a square setup. That way I can rotate my wheels\ tires and it doesn’t change anything. As far as the 28’s vs 30’s, I almost think I should’ve went with 30’s. I’ve seen a few who have and claim to have no issue pulling them without clutch work. Still hesitant on making that commitment, but I’d say my next set will probably be some the lighter 30’s.
Why did you have to put a spacer on the back? Something to do with it being a s model? Because I have the 19 le model 2 door and I put 28x11x14 zillas all the way around with no modifications and its perfect... just wondering
Basically the front A arms on all the Teryx’s are 2” wider than the rear. So stock wheels on front and back are different offsets. The front are 5/2 offset and rear 4/3, so it’s square with stock wheels. Where I put the same 4/3 offset wheel all the way around. Without the spacers in the rear, it would’ve been 2” narrower in the rear vs the front.
@@DarkHollow26i will have to check mine out when I get back up there but I swear I didn't do anything to mine and I think I would have noticed if the back tires did not line up with the front when I put the new ones on. Mine's about 8 hours away from me up in the mountains so I can't just go out there and check it out. I love that machine kind of wish I had the s model I figured it would come out after I have mine.
If you used the stock wheels with the rockzillas it’s still square. You only need spacers if you run the same offset wheel on all four. The tires won’t change the square setup only the wheels will.
@@DarkHollow26 no I put a set of No Limit wheels on there but I guess they must have been the same as the stock wheels and maybe that's why I didn't notice anything
I have a 2017 teryx 2 Le. Put these tires on stock rims and the front tires rub when turning. Do you have a lift or does the aftermarket rims make so there is no rubbing? I have a 2” lift on order. Thinking of ordering the rims as well.
Mine is stock but it is the S model, so I didn’t need spacers to keep them from rubbing. From what I understand on a LE model, I believe you will need a lift and spacers to keep them from rubbing.
@@DarkHollow26 I saw one of your other videos. I didn’t realize the S had different suspension. I ordered a lift and if that doesn’t work I think I’m going to order A Arms for front and back. Thanks for responding.
I think with just the tire setup it was over 13”. Just the other day I added 1/2” to the front shock preload, which should make about another inch in clearance. I haven’t measured it since adding to the preload.
Look a awesome can you provide overall tall I'm close to hitting the back of the roof I want to get something similar to this. But have to be careful it may not fit it my garage
Why did you put spacers on rims , Rocky mountain said most people install 30 "I installed new tires and wheels looks awesome mine are Mongrels' 30/10R14 10 ply. No body mods. completely stock except tires and wheels .
Stock the S model is right around 64” wide, but the front and rear wheel are different offsets. The stock rear wheels I believe are 5/3 and front 4/2 offsets, meaning the front A arms are a couple inches wider overall than the rear. So where I put the same offset wheel all the way around, 4/3 offset. It made the front around 66” wide and the rear was still around 64” wide. So I put the 1” spacers on the rear to make both front and rear around 66” wide.
I had a leaking rear shock a few weeks ago. I took it to the dealer for warranty work without switching back to stock tires\ wheels. Warranty covered the shock and replaced with a new one. However I think a lot of that has to do with the dealer and how willing they are to work with you.
@@DarkHollow26 ok that's good ground clearance for me..i ordered a set of 30 inch carnivores....hopefully won't be to big...I'll let you know how it goes...i just bought a 2023 teryx s
@@DarkHollow26 Hi again...I have the 30 inch Carnivores on and no rubbing at all after 300km in different situations. There is some power loss especially on acceleration but the torque is still good enough to get me out of situations. Do you have power loss with the 28? I think next i will go with 27 tire or 28 if theres no power loss with a Brute Performance 2 inch bracket lift.
@@andregiroux9839 I have noticed no power difference with the 28 Carnivores. However the Carnivores were about the lightest 28’s I could find. I plan to put 30’s on mine when it needs new tires but also going to get a clutch
Hey I’m curious do you still have and if so would you consider selling the factory wheels/tires that came on your teryx? I have been looking for a set of oem wheels that style for my 2015 teryx 4. If so please let me know. I would be very interested in them. Thanks
I had initially planned on selling them as I was in the process of buying. After speaking with the dealer, I believe I’ll hang onto them for awhile. He said he’d known warranty work to be turned down if they came back with larger tires on them.
Can you give me the wheel/tire set up description? Bout to order the same exact setup. Lol. Just bought the red S model today! You think 29’s would be ok or too heavy without clutch work??
They’re 28x10x14 on a Tusk Uinta Beadlock wheel. I don’t have any clutch work and mine pulls them fine. I’m still in the break in phase on the Teryx, about 50 miles in. So I’ve not pushed it to get a top speed or anything but it don’t seem to be in a bind. I ordered from www.rockymountainatvmc.com/.
No problem, hope you like them as good as I do. I looked for 29’s but most were the same weight or close to the 30” carnivores, I just figured I’d go with 28’s till my warranty is out and I get clutch work.
Yep all the way around. So the rear will need 1” spacers, I bought Super ATV 1” spacers. There’s several different brands people recommended to me. Also if you order from www.rockymountainatvmc.com, you have to buy lug nuts separate. The tire will be mounted on the wheel and all but lug nuts aren’t included.
We love it. The ride is smooth, it doesn’t seem to be near as stiff as the LE. The cab is hot and loud just like every review I’ve seen about the Teryx. But its a very capable machine and perfect setup for my family of four. I have had it back to the dealer once over a rear shock leaking fluid, warranty covered it with a new shock. The mechanic said that wasn’t something he sees often, maybe once or twice a year.
