Just put a set of these on my maverick and have 250km on em so far, seem to be holding up really well and holding up way better then the bighorn 2.0 that it came with that are full of plugs now. Seem to be a good tire in the sharp shale rock and fairly smooth riding. Not sure how they'll perform in mud but looks like theyll do ok. Anyone else running them? Any issues yet?

Looking at a set for the general hope they stand up good in the sharp rocky terrain

Ultracross from ITP hold up well. Have 600 km on them. But not a great mud tire.

I have 700+ km on my carnivores and when they eventually wear out I'll be buying another set. I've ridden them in all sorts of terrain, not tons of mud but they do not bad in it. So far no tearing of lugs or slices in the tires and are wearing good. I've been running them around 10 psi. Being where I live we do lots of mountain riding with lots of sharp rock and after running one of the worst tires IMO, the 2.0, these tires have really held up.

Think i'm going to order a set of these carnivores. Was wondering how they would hold up on sharp mtn rock.....
Anybody run the blackwaters? Was also looking at these for the sxs.

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

I Guess I'm the odd man out on this one. I've had multiple flats with these tires 32", mostly side wall punctures. The last one on south esk needed 12 plugs,
I really like these tires, but just tired of trail repairs
I do most of my riding in the mountains as well, Cadomin, Crowsnest, Limestone etc.
Keeping in mind I have over 4k on em, trying to eek out every Km i can out of them.
I've going to give the System 3 XTR 370 a go, very similar tread design. They are heavier though.
Revco has them on sale right now for 60 bucks less a tire than Utv Can in the 32" with the coupon code Turkey for a additional 100 off

I ride cadomin lots and have yet to get a flat out there with my carnivores, only issue I have is the rears slowly leak air when it sits for a long time

I have a set on on Wolverine X2 for the past 3 summers. I have yet to get a flat tire on them. I purposely bought those for the riding we do in Tumbler Ridge. We see mostly sharp rocks, oilfield road, little mud and pipelines. I have more faith in the 8 ply than the average 4-6 ply for that type of riding.
For hunting season, I switch them out for Mud Lite 2.
