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.....

Great Video! Big Fan of the Zillas!!
Thanks buddy. I am too! haha
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!
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.
My wife run KM3's on her honda R fox live. She seems to like them has no problem climbing and trail riding.
She gets to hatfield and McCoy trails a lot more then I do.
I’ve heard pretty good things about those tires too. I might have to check them out at a later date.
Man, Sheri is a hell of a driver! I haven't been to Black Mountain.... looks tough and rough!
👊🏻👊🏻
They look like they would be an all around tire forsure 🤟
Thank you. I think so too. I’ve been very impressed with them so far. The seem to hook up on all surfaces.
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.
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 was at Ivy branch this weekend as well. What camera do you film with?
That’s cool. We might have crossed paths. We spent most of our days on the double black trails. We use the go pro hero 8 blacks. We’re thinking about adding another camera but one that can zoom in and out.
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
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’s the XRC with K9’s, in your group, like the K9’s? I had a set and hated them. They were like slicks on ice
He said that he likes them and they seem to hook up really good. They are the sticky’s. They are also 35s so I’m sure that helps some too.
Need to get some beadlocks so you can run lower PSI. I run mine around 6psi and much better grab.
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.
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
Thank you for sharing.
Do they measure at 32 inches when mounted? I wonder how they compare the Sedona Rockabillys.
Ours measured 31-3/4. I’m hearing the 14” rims measure different than the 15” rims. We have 14s. I have 3000 miles on them now and they are by far the best tire I have ever ran. The traction is unreal.
@@TheCanAmCrew that's good to hear. I've always sort of overlooked them thinking the lack of soft surface traction would over shadow their increased hard surface traction but apparently that isn't the case.
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.
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.
Been to "Mines and Meadows" recently, didn't see any meadows, just mud and lots of it. They should rename that place to "Mines and Mud"...
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.
@@eglsfly haha. I think your right.
Hey Jesse what do you carry your axles in when out on the trails?
We just put them behind the seats.
my next tires most likely
You won’t be disappointed. I am amazed at the difference in traction is made.
Hey was wondering how loud these tires are on the road?
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.
When you jumped to 32s did you find the clutches stalling longer before grabbing especially going uphill?
We didn’t notice any difference. Maybe a tad in high gear going up hills but we use low most of the time
@@TheCanAmCrew I'm moving from 27s to 32s and I can't get the needed clutch springs for about 5mos. Thanks.
What r those mud flaps on the front ? Could deff use those on my x3.
They are amazing. I have the mud buster max coverage flares over my oem flares. Best combination out there in my opinion. You can get the max coverage flares from redline4x4.com and use my jhatch_x3 discount code if you want.
@@TheCanAmCrew ty
hey i have a 2021 can am x3 xmr turbo rr. i want to get the roxxzillas 32” do you have any problem
with the sizes. where do you get yours
32s are a great size for the X3’s. You’ll be really happy with them. We ordered ours from Dave northeast powersports in Akron Ohio. Great prize and quick shipping. Tell him we sent you.
How long you think they'll last being so low in tread depth and so soft. That's my only concern. TWRA, royal blue, rider, there is always sticky clay...and go out west, idaho trails
A friend of mine runs them on his rzr. He has over 1000 miles on his and they are still in good shape. My thoughts are if the tires work that good then I’d be fine with replacing them once a year.
@@TheCanAmCrew that's alot of expense to me I guess. Hopefully he gets 2 k out of them. If I knew someone that got 2k and they were still biting good. I'd pull the trigger. Running the sti xcomp currently. Like em. They're just HEAVY
@@joshuabright547 ya, we put a lot of miles on too which hurts us as far as buying tires lol. I’m hoping I get close to 2k miles out of them. We’ll see how it goes but so far I am very impressed with them. I’ve heard good reviews on the xcomps. Keep me posted on how they work for you.
@@TheCanAmCrew 1500 miles. Half worn, never had a leak, tear or flat. Just really heavy but they work pretty good in most conditions except sticky clay but what does lol
Just need rockzillas with a little more tread that lasts a long time and work well in sticky stuff, where is that perfect tire!?
Thx man #buggynation
which one should i buy if most of the trails are muddy?
If you ride mainly mud I would look into more of a mud tire like what is on the xmr models. Maybe some itp cryptids.
What is your wheel spacing for the rims to be able to run 32s?
I’m running a 5-2 +10mm and Sheri is running a 5-2 +30mm offset.
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.
Awesome! Thank you very much! Long time watcher of your channel and now I can't wait to have my own adventures on my x3 here in WV
That’s awesome. Thank you for watching. Maybe we’ll run into you down there some time.
How are they holding up 4 months later?
They are great. Still lots of life left. Right now they have just over 2500 miles on them. There’s no doubt I’ll get at least another thousand or better. 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.
Are they better than the Carnivores in deep snow …say 15 to 20 inches ?
We have a winter video with 12-15 inches of snow on the ground from tri country atv park. If you wanted to check that out. But yes. The zillas did better than my carnivores did.
Thanks for the quick response and happy trails from Quebec 👍😃
What air pressure are you running?
We’ve been running between 6-8 psi for the past 3000 miles. Seems to work very well for us. Non beadlocks also.
@@TheCanAmCrew have you try it in the snow ?
@@davidlegault5037 yes we have. They do good. They do a lot better than the carnivores did anyway.
How long did they last??
We’ve gone through 3 set of zillas so far and they seem to last around 2-3000 miles depending on terrain. We went out west this year and did 800 miles and it wore them down pretty good but east coast comfortably 2500 miles with competition compound zillas.
Roxxzillas are bad for mud?
I’ve had ours in mud a couple times now. They do better in the mud than the carnivores did. It wasn’t swamp mud but it was pretty thick stuff.
I’m shocked you got 2000 miles out of your carnivores
Ya same here. 2000 miles and still half tread. I was told they wear really fast but that wasn’t the case for us. 🤷♂️
