Bad...bad..Tbone....

Here is a good video on these tires....https://www.youtube.com/embed/HD9p9AmrbN8"

10, 11 and 12s!!!! How many side x sides are running 10 and 11 inch rims??? I was all ready to drop the hammer on a set, but I want 14inchers. Plus the lugs on the X model are kinda close together, which will cause them to fill up with mud right when youn don't want them to.

The XTR's come in 14"

give us a report on them, are you going with the 26 inch tall or the 27, 12 inch wheel or 14. Was it cheaper than ebay.


Went with stock size 26-9-12 & 26-11-12 Never checked e-bay no one beats the deal World Class gives me I think they will be a good tire I hope they last as long as the Bighorns if so I will be happy.I think they will clean out better and have better traction in the mud so we will see.

Well I guess I will find out how these tires are I just ordered a set from Amanda @ World Class Power sports.I was going to buy Bighorns again or try the Baja Cross or the Blackwater Evolution and read up on these Black Diamonds and thought they are cheaper & sound good so I will give them a try.

How did you like the XTRs?

1 1/8 inch lugs and dot approved, whatever that means. That should get you anywhere you need to go.

Yeah I like the specs, but wondered how they held up.

Got about 800 miles on mine and doing good.Just buy a size bigger because they must run true to size so I bought 26" and they look like 25" compared to the Bighorns If I knew that I would have gotten the 27"

In that case, I wish they had a 28 or 29. But glad to hear they are doing good. Can't beat the bang for the buck on these tires it seems like. With a 2" lift, I should still gain enough clearance to do ok through the rough stuff. Thanks for the info.

good to hear this Bobby D.

I say go for it. The lift is going to help you more than tire size anyway. Plus, a 27" tire is going to be easier to spin and clean out than a 30", steer easier, and not break axles. If I were in your shoes, I would run an avg size tire with the lift and add some good skids. There is no shame in having to pull cable if you get hung up.

When they are DOT approved you can use them on the hwy(street tire)

Ok, so is dot stamped on the tire? That's for people who have a street legal requirement for their state I presume? I wonder what makes them dot approved, something in the construction?

yes....they have to meet certain tread and sidewall requirements...you need a DOT approved tire if you want to make your rzr street legal...

DOT approved doesn't mean a thing in WV. I guess I will be ordering me a set along with the lift from atvoutfitters as soon as I get my taxes back. Winch and skids to come. (If I don't sell the whole thing first)

Here is a test of some tires, the DOT approved is new to me:
