PostSubject: New tires   New tires Icon_minitimeSat Jun 22, 2013 11:09 am

Got some new tires about a month ago.  I had Interco Swamp Lites, but they seem to run out of tread really quickly, the side walls were taking a beating.  I had two plugs in one tire, one plug in another and Green Slime in all four.  So when I went out and the sidewall finally gave out on my right front I decided to get some new ones.  I was torn between GBC Grim Reapers and The Black Mamba's but after reviewing the weight I decided on the Reaper's.  They're pretty much the same weight as the Swamp Lites i had.  So far I am very pleased with the grip, they work well in the mud & rocks, the ride is extremely smooth on flat surfaces.  I think that has a lot to do with them being a radial.  Also a huge reason why I bought them.  They're one of the few tires out there that are 8 ply, so I should be good with my side wall issue.    I put the same size on that I had which is 26 x 10 x 12 front and 26 x 12 x 12 rear.  I removed my wheel spacers on the rear which the jury is still out on whether or not I like the stance.  Now if I could convince the wife to spring for some DWT Diablo Beadlocks I'd be all set.No Here's a few shots:

I will have to postpone the feedback so to speak.  I had a few minor issues whilst riding.New tires 00710

I tried them out on one cracked rim,... AND During the process.....
New tires 01110

I broke another, Both rear rims are toast.  I decided to run them at spec psi (7),... which I doubted because they felt squishy, even for my rock climbing ass.  NO DOUBT,.... I was absolutely in the right.  But the damage was done.  So needless to say this review will have to resume at a later date.  On a Positive note.  These tires grip and rip shit up.  I was in rocky rooted, muddy, funky, creek bed shit all day.  cheers 

25 miles of rough beating yourself up mountain holes, .....

Prison sex was more gentle than this and these tires raped some ass!!!The cracked rim above held the bead for 10 of the miles ( minor assistance, Shhhh). 


 After retiring at the dock for grilling dinner I did have to switch to a spare to get home.
New tires 01810

A Little bit of mud,...

New tires 01610
New tires 02310

It was still a remarkable ride with my friend "Pollywog" getting stuck in a Known mud hole and backfiring when his sparkplug wire came loose(Fellow rhino owner, thank god).  Hitting 56 on a soft rear end is a bitch to corner, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. lol!.  I'am thinking I will be ordering my beadlocks sooner rather than later and my gauges and wife are going to have to agree Suspect.

Till I get some new rims, I will finish this GBC Grim Reaper review. Hoping to convince the wife on

So, after sitting here at work, and racking my brain on whether or not I should just buy two more ITP SS212 or buy 4 new wheels and use my front two as spares, I have made a decision.  I pulled the trigger and ordered 4 new rims.  Beadlocks too!! Dancing Banana

So now I will be in great anticipation for them to arrive.  I can't wait to see how the Rhino will be transformed when I put them on.  I ordered DWT Diablo Machined True Beadlocks! $133 each shipped.  Sucks that they have to travel from California to NY before I can druel on them lol!

Here's an image of the badboys!

Guten Morgan everyone and Happy 4th.  I got home late yesterday.  Had to have an MRI of my right knee and got a cortisone shot in my left shoulder.  But All my pain was almost instantly gone when I saw some beautiful boxes on my front porch from California.

New tires 7-201410
Thats right.  They arrived just in time for my Independence Day Ride .  I was up quite late getting them mounted and what a PITA!

These are my first beadlocks, man o man.  You sit there and just wrench and wrench and then wrench some more until you get the ring seated.  I didn't have access to a torque wrench to get the proper foot/lbs so I just tightened them up as best I could.  Keeping the idea that, "Tight is tight and too tight is Broke!"  I will have to check them another day, which kind of sucks.  These things are sweet.  They look amazing with the GBC Grim Reaper tire and have changed the look of the Rhino.  A camera or any image really doesn't do them justice.  I am rough on every aspect of my machine so to know that I can simply replace the ring for ~ $50 bucks is piece of mind.  MSRP is ~ $140, so I also feel I got a pretty good deal.  They didn't get to ship them out until last Friday because DWT was actually making 2 of them so Escondido powersports shipped them UPS 3 day select for no additional $$.  Anyway, I will post some more photos after I get the Rhino cleaned up.

It's Christmas in July!Dancing Banana

hey Guenther....you do know that ITP has a LIFETIME warranty on their wheels right?  Get ahold of them and she should replace it. check out the link below.  Also the reason I know this is I work for Carlisle who owns ITP

Cant wait till I get some extra money,my tires are about wore out and im going to get 26'' roctanes

 http://www.stitireandwheel.com/2012/12/roctane-xd/ they are 8 ply also and about $100 cheaper than the bighorns, which have been great tires for me.

The info you want is at the bottom of that page.

 I do know that they have a lifetime warranty.  Unfortunately I was and am not the original owner of the wheels, nor do I even have any paperwork if I was to even try, which does suck.  I do however have some great news about these wheels.  They're incredible.  As you all can probably figure out about now I am quite rough on my machine.  We went out on the 4th and did 46.9 miles and I actually got a flat.  I hit a rock just right and the beadlocks ripped through the tire in two spots.  
New tires 7-5-1310

I blew this out 40 miles into the trip. The reason I say these bead locks rock is that I drove the last 7 miles out of the woods on the flat through some rough trails, mud etc.  Bead stayed intact, rim is still perfect.  I actually hit 40 miles an hour on the flat, lol! .  Granted Moonshine and brews may make you try things you normally wouldn't.  I ordered a new tire this morning and am throwing one of my old swamp lites on the ITP for a spare to go out today.

Not the greatest shot due to it being still covered.  I'll get some better pictures at a later time.New tires 7-5-1311
