Maxxis Carnivore 30x10x14 Weight & Installation on Beadlock Rims Can-Am X3

Rock Ready - Maxxis Carnivor tires were designed for west coast riding, but the aggressive design works well for riders who travel the country finding some of the best trails available.  The radial tires are similar to light truck mud terrains.  They are an 8-ply tire but have fairly soft sidewalls for a good ride and traction in soft terrain. When looking to upgrade our factory Bighorn 2.0 tires on our Can-Am Maverick X3 XRS, we looked for a long lasting, aggressive, 8ply tire that was not too heavy.  Our stock 30x10x14 Bighorn 2.0&were 31 pounds each.  The Maxxis Carnivore in the same size weighed in at 34.5 pounds.  For a 3.5 pound increase, we feel the durability and increased traction will be more of a benefit than a hindrance to power.
