Carnivores have been awesome to me. 1500 miles on my wildcat xx with them. I run lots of payment in between the trails out in my area. Lots of rock lots of mud trips to Cadomin. Personally I don’t like black water tires. IMO. All ITP tires are out of round and cause a vehicle to shake at high speeds and always have
2700 miles now. Wildcat xx worh 31”.
Still good. One flat only in cadomin and I picked up a bent bolt. I had to put a few tire plugs in one of them. Other than that one bolt they’ve been bulletproof.

I put a set of 32’s on my Rmax 2 last fall , used it a bit around here , and they are ok in mud and muskeg , certainly not as good as a mud tire but way way lighter. This winter put about 900 kms on in Arizona , pretty much all rocks and they are showing a lot of wear for only that many miles. I like the tire for weight and integrity and roundness , but IMO kind of a ok tire for everything but doesn’t shine in any one aspect . Quite a few cheaper better tires for all rocks and mountains , and not stellar in mud , I don’t think I’ll buy another set .

I'm looking for recommendations for tires for a RZR 1000. 8 ply light weight (ish) All terrain. (usually ride west of Sundre) Mud, Hills, Trails, some rock. 30-32" size. I'm considering the Carnivore or Blackwater. Or if there's another tire someone can recommend? Thanks

System 3 XTR370, similar to Carnivore but based on others, better all around for wear, etc. Its a slightly heavier tire though. If mostly rocky terrain, I would get the Roxxzilla's. One of the best rated tires out there. For more of a hard pack tire, I would get the System 3 XC450.

They’re definitely not a mud tire. I have 3300 km on the Wolverine X2 and I’d say they have been really good. I can see them wearing down if you're hard on the pedal or taking corners at high speeds on hard grounds. I'm a pretty relaxed driver, mostly touring around Tumbler Ridge.

Agree. If you are running a non-turbo, you will also have better luck with wear. The 180+ HP guys can/have lots of tire spin and its hard on tires.

I loved the carnivores on my general, jack of all trades kind of thing, master of none. Worked well, smooth at high speeds. I hate the muskeg and mud so didn’t care that they weren’t great in the slop. Worked good up around cadomin and Robb area. I could see them wearing fast on a turbo high hp machine

I think the Carnivores are a good general use/trail tire. I've had them on my Defender for about 2000 km so far. Never needed to patch one and still have lots of tread. Most of the use has been working around home and riding in Crowsnest. I don't ride in deep mud. Running about 7-10 psi on bead-lock wheels. Really good traction overall. I'd say OK in moderate mud situations. They good in snow (I do a lot of plowing), but can be sketchy on bare ice.

I'm happy with them but I would like to try Rockzillas.

I'm thinking of putting 32-10-14 Carnivores on stock RZR rims. The front rims are 14x6. Not sure if it is a problem putting 10" wide tires on a 6" rim?
