UTV STICKY TIRE SHOOTOUT 2023

We are back with some new competition for the 2023 Sticky Tire Shootout. UTV Sticky tires are one of the best performance modifications that you can make to your Side by Side if you like to hit technical rock trails or do some RZR Rock Crawling. Big thanks to All Things UTV for getting us a test set of Maxxis Roxxzilla tires and mounting the MRT Rocky RX and Motor Race Tire XROX DD stickies on wheels for us so we could get this shoot done with such short notice. Last but not least big thanks to Nitto for sending us some of their coveted 35" Nitto Trail Grappler SXS K Specs for this test. Let us know which one of these Stickies are your favorite in the comments.

I went the pro r zilla route and I'm happy with my choice but definitely up to try the nittos later. I almost went nitto first time around and chose zilla instead for sand hollow riding.

Interesting. I haven't used anything but zilla at sand hollow. We will see how these Nittos do there later this year.

very good information ! have you made shootout of wet ground-muddy offroad conditions, witch tire ?

we have only done these sticky tire shootouts so far, I think out of these the zilla would do the best. But maybe you need a more aggressive tire.

Great demostration with facts! We need you do the same demostration but with RZR drive belts! I know it's more difficult but all owners of rzr's will love to know the best one. I'm tire of changing belts so often!

Excellent video! Question for you guys, is the Nitto tire you tested part number 209500? Is it actually considered a sticky compound? or this the rumored K spec sticky that only race teams can get? Thanks!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

All the UTV Tires are K spec

[@traviswilliams3209]

simple green does wonders for new rc tires grip, i bet it would do well for 1:1 too

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Interesting

[@clayrhye3701]

Ask a sprint car guy. There are ways. Lol.

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

Simple green DOES do wonders for rc tires but it will also break down the rubber so they don't last as long- On vehicle rubber and extended use im pretty sure it would lead to premature catastrophic failure. They do use tire compound enhancers in kart racing but it's often banned, I'm guessing for the same reasons.

[@crazyflyboy30]

So the Roxxilla in this test was the competition ? I'm most likely gonna try the Roxxilla competition in a 32x10x14 on Scrambler XP1000 S that is 58" wide and 70" wheelbase and thinking about making it 75" wheelbase . I climb 5 hills now no problem and even climbing stuff that the SXS guys can't because a ATV seems to have better traction with big tires and less weight. Have done a lot of modifications in lowering the CG and Highlifter transmission gear reduction.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

The Zillas are great tires and so are the nittos

[@obsidian....]

The Nitto is basically squared off. So, with all else being equal, it would naturally have the most tire patch touching (and most traction).

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

At 8 psi they should be pretty close but I see your point

[@jeffreyvian]

It's also the narrowest so defeats your point

[@vr4junkie385]

There also a LT DOT approved too

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

​@jeffreyvian not really- narrow tires get greater contact patch in length and all else being equal it will still average the same size contact patch

[@pyrostwistedride4821]

Where is the Obor Rock Monsters? Great video!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Getting renamed....so couldn't get them for this test

[@Carter_Racing720]

X-rox is definitely the stickiest tire but they are definitely a crawling tire for sure

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Yeah they have a pretty open tread pattern in comparison to the others tested so they performed as expected on the concrete slab.

[@tuttlepuddle]

I like the Nitto

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I’ve been impressed by them.

[@shawnhampton9686]

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

This new MRT is promising but I also like how skinny the nittos are.

[@meyersongarage299]

What wheel is that for the trail graps

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Bullite race wheels

[@stgraves260]

These guys like sticky tires only. It’s their opinion on what most people want to see. We should all appreciate what they do for us because we all either can’t afford this many different tires or flat out don’t have the contacts that they do. Thank y’all for what yall do for us. I do wish y’all would try the Obor Roc Monsters and the System3 XCR 350s because they are killing it at Moab, Disney, and Wind Rock. I just got a set of the System3 RT 320s in 33x9.5-15. I needed a DOT tire because I like to ride to my trails. Sometimes the cops do pull you over and check for that in Moab. If you ride in Moab, please stop accelerating hard on the streets threw town because you are the ones making it worse for the entire UTV community.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Our plan was to test the Obors but due to some naming issues we ended up not getting a set, soon they will be rebranded as a different tire name and will not longer be called the Roc Monster. We like Sticky Tires because that is what we run and what the majority of people around us run as well. That being said I am happy to do a tire test with any tire a company wants to send me.

I wonder if the nitto's didn't feel as soft because they have a weight capacity of 1500lbs per tire while the roxxzilla's are like 700 per tire. I wasn't able to see if the toyo's offered their tire in different compounds but it looks so far like the have a single conpound, so I'm guessing that is k spec?

So...when wheighing the tires, all the rims weigh exactly the same? If not then the results really says nothing...right?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

The wheels were very similar if not the same. It will not skew the results much at all. If you want to send us 4 sets of wheels next time we will make sure they are all the same. LOL

35s on cast aluminum wheels are heavy across the board. Worth the added clearance though IMO. We have another MRT tire that is actually 10 lbs lighter than these.

they were actually at 8psi

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

They mentioned that in the video- different tires won't flex the same at different psi- the same tire of the same height but different width won't flex the same at the same psi either.
