P1000 Carnivores and bead-locks

[Willeod]

This weekends project… tire swap. I picked up a brand new set of Maxxis Carnivore 30x10x14 from my neighbor and putting them on 14x7 kmc gernade single bead-lock wheels 5+2 offsets. Really looking forward to seeing how these handle up here in Alaska.

I used my Hi-Lift jack, blocks of wood, and the front tow hooks on our van to bust loose the rear bead on the Blackwater Evos that I’m removing. The Evos are also a 30x10x14. All and all went pretty smooth.

I included a contrast picture of the tires. From left to right: Carnivore mounted fully inflated. Middle, Evos mounted fully inflated. Right, Carnivore not mounted. I was surprised just how tall the Carnivores were after they where mounted.

Dang, that Carnivore grew a bunch when mounted.

My Maxxis BH 3.0 balloon like that too with anything close to 10psi.

Looks like you will have a really nice capable machine when you get them all installed.

Looks good! I run them tires on my Talon with beadlocks. I like them lots!

Lookin’ good brother. So far, they run a lot smoother than the Blackwater Evos I was running.
