 So, The New Carnivore 32x10x14 tires are on the unit. Installed on Stock Rims. Aprox. 1,000 kms on them now. Highly recommend these. After the Horrible riding Cryptids these are now like driving a machine with Marshmallow wheels! So smooth, no vibrations. They Rock!  Plus 2" free extra inches of ground clearance!!

Appreciate the input. I was actually just looking at these tires for my '20 XMR. Do you have a lift on there? I can't tell. They definitely look good on your machine!

I’m running 33s no scrub. Small bracket lift. I looked at the 6 inch lift to run 35s vs the forward arms. I’d like to be just a little taller

@Tomiko Don, I have same question as @XMRManiac. Did you have a lift or is your suspension setup completely stock?  I'm looking at same tires, but wasn't sure about rub on my stock setup or about the extra weight being issue for front differential (mine is completely stock)?  Now that this post has some age maybe you could tell us if you ran into any issue mechanically??

Thanks.

I had a lift. 
took spring spacers out though, so half a lift?

shocks maxed. Rode like crap. Those tires are great, but terrible on hard pack! 
 

diffs had zero issues, but I had to put an Epi clutch in, I’ve since removed it and went to portals,arms, and zbroz shocks on 35 inch Toyo utv. It rides like a dream now!

selling the complete clutch kit if you are interested! $200 plus shipping.

The xmr defender will carry up to a 35 on stock clutching, just gotta know when to use low. As for tires, we have prolly 5 or 6 guys in our group running 35s on just jakes arms, if you want to run just 33s satvs or highlifter arms will do that will a lil less stress than the jakes.

Can you run 32" tyres with a 2" lift but without putting in forward A-Arms?
