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 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 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.

nice ride . i am doing same same set up what is the front clearance ?

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.

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

I got the green one... Someone said running different tires voids the warranty

[@DarkHollow26]

They told me it could, so I’m keeping my stock tires\ wheels.

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

[@myamigood]

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

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

[@myamigood]

@@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.

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

[@myamigood]

@@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.

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

Any update you want to share?

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

[@wecoveritallyall9180]

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.

[@DarkHollow26]

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.

[@wecoveritallyall9180]

Absolutely understand JB. How much ground clearance adding the 28's did you gain?

[@DarkHollow26]

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.
