Updated Tire Thread

[USMC]

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2022 Roxor with the 5.38 gears. I wanted to keep things cheap and make my Roxor run lower RPMs on the street. I found 35x10 R16 tires to go on my stock rims. I did not want to pay for new rims. Anyway, they cost me @ $1200.00 for 5 tires.

I got Crawler XG tires for rocks, they have a medium (corrected from hard) tread. You can get Crawler XR tires with the same tread for dirt but they are a softer material. The good thing about my Crawler XG tires is that they are rated at 50 mph.

They look like they will work. I will wait until one of my tires gives up to upgrade. I need the mud version, about the same price I'm guessing?

I live in the Missouri Ozarks. Rated for Rocks is a good thing. We have plenty.
The $240 each price is not terrible if they last a very long time.
I would not have put Rocks and Florida in the same sentence. Sand, Gators, Swamp, Pythons, Craw Fish, Water, Air Boats all come to mind, but not Rocks. I obviously do not know enough about Florida.
The tires do look very good.
Is that the Roxor OEM HD Front Bumper? Or something different?

That is the OEM Roxor bumper Bob. If you look close at the front bumper area you can see the 3 inches of steel I had to add between the bumper and the frame so I had a good clearance between the tires and the bumper. I also had to add the two inch wheel spacers so the tires cleared the frame and the fender well. Putting those spacers in was a pain in the A!

Can you show me your 3inch spacer mod by taking top end pic, please?

I want to compare and contrast the 3inch bumper spacer I have with yours, and see if I can have any take away learning points.

Hello Bob,

I am still looking for the Rocks in Florida!

The Crawler XG is a medium compound tread tire, not hard. I don't think you're going to get the life you expect out of them, especially being a SXS tire.

 

[USMC]

From what I have been reading, it all depends on whos website you read the specs from. Quite a few sites say the opposite of other sites. I guess I will call the Chinese to get the real answer.

I guess I will try out the XR tires next because I like the tread.

What is the tires load rating?

 

[USMC]

1420 lbs on the front.

I did actually find a Pro Armor data sheet showing the XR tires as having the harder tread. I will see how the XGs do. Only 1500 miles on them and the tread still looks new.

 

[txroadkill]

Be careful with those at any speed while Carrying a load. Not much margin in them. My Mickey T’s have almost a 1000 lbs more load capacity per tire. Any sxs tire isn’t designed for carrying the weight or traveling the higher speed that auto/truck tires do. And the Roxor is more automotive than sxs in design and function.

 

[USMC]

Thanks TX! I am just glad that they do have a 50 mph speed rating. All the other sxs tires I have seen, most are not even speed rated.
