Great video and new subscriber here. I just put down a down payment on Grizzly 700 se the other day and ordered the Megabites from Rocky Mountain on the same day and now have them stting in my garage, 2 days later. I'm taking them to the dealership on the day picking up the atv and have them mounted before leaving from there.
New tires look great!👍🏻
Thank you for sharing
🏆🤗🙏🇺🇸
I put a set of 27" kimpex trail trooper on my 23' camo grizz. Those are nice tire too!
I have the trail troopers also. I got the radials and not the bias as the make both. They are a bighorn knockoff but better price. They are six ply but are durable and makes them lighter and more comfortable.
Good choice. I have the XTR and looking to eventually replace my stock Zillas. I'm considering Kenda Bear Claws HTR or the Maxxis Big Horns 2.0.
I considered the bear claws also but then I read so many mixed reviews where some people said they had a bad vibration that couldn't be balanced out so I didn't want to take the chance
Cool, You got them :) Loving mine on Grizzly , and so far so Good with MBRP Can, loving the new sound... :) FYI, just picked up MIssion ATV Trailer fits 3 ATVS , will send ya a pick via Email, also going to be in Payson next week at our Cabin up there , let me know if you want to meet up there for a ride...
Yea i actually emailed you.
@@OdysseyOffroad , cool sorry if i missed it , crazy days at work lately :)
Nice, we’ve been looking at tires. These are on the list of tires we’re considering
they are working out really nice!
What makes them a upgrade? I got a 2023 SE
Definitely looks like a better tire for all-around four-wheel-drive use!
Agreed! Wait till the test ride video! This weekend!
@@OdysseyOffroad I’ll be on pins and needles!

@@OdysseyOffroad LOL
I was surprised at the Zillas on my 22 SE. Definitely not a great rock/trail tire compared to Megabite type tire but really performs better all around than I thought it would. While very nice wheels, I wasn't a fan of the 14 inch rim, considering first ride out almost pinched a flat and really doesnt have a lot of tire between the ground and the rim. I went with OEM yamaha Grizz 12 inch rims and went with Kenda Bearclaw HTRs for more tire between rim and ground. Rides like a dream.
See i have heard a lot of horror stories with bear claws having a lot of vibration at speeds.
What size Kenda's did you put on the 12" rims?
Interested to hear how they ride and if you will need to have them balanced to eliminate any wobble. Go Islanders! Long time fan here.
Hell yeah! Tough loss tonight but we'll get em in game 2!
I love the look... Im going to do that to mine!!!! Didi you sell the Zillas? What should i ask they have 37 miles in them
Thanks man, i love the look. I have mine for sale currently, but haven't sold them yet.
So they are 27'' but only measure 25.75 ? I wonder what the 25'' measure ?
No they were 25.25 before they were mounted when they were mounted and inflated to 5 lb they were 26.25
Hi. trying to decide between two tusk tires for my grizzly. I'm in northern AZ and where I hunt is sharp rocks (lavarocks) and sharp roots. I want a tire that can handle sharp rocks and roots better than the zillas. Debating between the terrabites and the megabites. I think the terrabites would be more puncture resistant due to tighter lugs but I feel like they would throw rocks like crazy. I also feel like the megabites wont throw rocks because the lugs are more spaced apart but they have more open voids probably making it more prone to puncture from those sharp rocks. Since you have had both, what would be your vote?
I think they're both equally puncture resistant the megabytes definitely throw less rocks actually I have found a throw no rocks.
Looking to get those for my KRX 34’s
I enjoy riding on my quad, I live I prescott maybe we can go in a ride together one of these days.
I actually contacted you a while back about your KRX 4 seater when you were selling it. I ended up with a 2 seater instead. 👍🏼
Oh hey! Right on. Krx a great machine! I seen you other comment about your polaris 850. I never heard of Mingus mt. Until you mentioned it. I looked it up looks like a beautiful area. Its about 4hrs from me. Might be fun to escape the heat one weekend i would be in!
@@OdysseyOffroad that will be awesome !
I am up for exploring new trails also by where you are as well. Let’s try to set something up.
If you have messenger I can send you my contact information man. Always looking for other people to ride quads with 🤙🏼
@@tonyman5417 i do hit me up on Instagram if you have that? Odyssey_offroad
Did you consider narrower 27x9x14 for the fronts?
Narro front and wider rear
Yes but as i explained i wanted same all around like factory for handling and being able to rotate them. Also the factory rims are wide and have no rim protection with a 9" wide in front on the stock rims because they are 8" wide.
Well got my tires just like the ones you got. how much air pressure do you run?
5
I ride a Polaris 850
Going to do Mingus mountain via smiley rock. Let me know if you would like to join.
That SE doesn t come with a installed factory winch ?
No not in the united states. The xtr is same as Canadian SE.
2R Racing tip is recommended to put the attitude with the mean looks.
Yea im going to go full exhaust i think for some more power. Along with a tuner. I may get just the tip for temporary. We will see.
A whiskeybent tip sounds so much better than that 2r garbage
you replaced lighter weight tires that were already heavy for heavier ones?
Couldn't even tell because the gain in traction and ride quality was that much better. The zillas are garbage for trail riding.
I don't disagree that the trail riding will improve over the maxis units the vehicle ships with. I have a 2022 or 23 Grizzly (I cant remember, I've had it for a year) I was thinking Kenda Bearclaws for all around while making damn near any quad super nimble. I've had quads for 30+ years and I've tried many. The Mudlites I put on my vinson were fantastic but too heavy...I should have done the lesser of the 3 mudlites they had available. Wasn't and still isnt a challenge. Just a discussion on what could possible make my grizzly 700 even better than it already is...just like yours. I am curious on the rev limiter/top rpm before and after the change for you. @@OdysseyOffroad
@@mjethier I did a top speed run with the new tires on it I can't remember what it was but there's a short video on the channel. Again I didn't lose any power that I noticed and the game and traction and overall handling was light years better. I also like you looked at the Kenda bear claws but I read too many negative reviews on bad sets with shaking and balancing issues so that scared me away from them. I did a huge trip for 3 days through the Hatfield McCoy trails (videos also on the channel) and I can tell you these megabytes performed great in mud, wet conditions, hard pack just everything.
I'll try and do one myself. My quad has about 20 miles on it and I have never pushed it. But the general concept is what you can get for top speed within 20 or so seconds is a direct representation of what your tire weight is. @@OdysseyOffroad
Are those 8 ply?
Yes i mention that in the video also.
Nice upgrade on the tires. I think the thing I'm surprised with the most is the New York Islanders tshirt in Southern Arizona!!! Lol. And btw GO LEAFS GO!!! 🍻🇨🇦
NY transplant haha.
@Odyssey Offroad one of my favorite players of all time is John Tonelli. Super hard worker. My Leafs could still use him. Lol.
@@benmayhew373 haha enjoying Tavares?
@Odyssey Offroad yes you gotta love a classy point per game player. He just makes to much money in the salary cap system.
@@benmayhew373 cant argue any of that.
Are they balanced
I did not have to add any weight or balance them just mounted. They ride very smooth.
Are you still happy with this choice of tires??
Yes they are great tires i put them on my wifes renegade as well. They hold up to any abuse and great traction
16:40 weight 💪
💪🏻
Your thrilled baaabbyyyy lol
🤪
Had plans to buy different tires for my 2020 750 kingquad SE. but after watching your video I pulled the trigger on those in same size but 12” rim. Waiting on rims to be delivered today. Tires arrived yesterday. Hope I’m happy or I’m coming after you 😅..
Looks good on yours‼️
Those tires seam too wide to me.
I like 8 or 9 inch wide tires on the front they are a lot nicer on trails as they don’t hit the sides of ruts non stop.
This is factory size. You can not put a skinnier tire on these rims as the rims are 8 in wide.
@@OdysseyOffroad That's just not true.
You could run 9 inch wide tires no problem.
I've ran 26x9x12 tires on 12x8 rims a few times...
@@nseric1233 let me rephrase. You can run a 9-in wide tire however you're going to destroy your rims because the zero sidewall protection at that point. Also the 10-in wide tire comes from the factory from Yamaha I just kept the same size tire. It handles amazing with these new tires.
@@OdysseyOffroadand it was a piss poor factory choice. Too wide for a front tire. Fyi, proper inflated tire will provide same rim rim protection on an 8, 9 or 10 wide. The lip is still exposed. If the tire has a rim guard built in, that will protect it
In Montana those Zillas are a better tire.
Im sure they work well in the wet but not here lol
Lol hard to say a yamaha looks mean ....with that dopey front end! Now that renegade in the background even being pink is mean looking!! I am not trying to be an ass just that front end looks like a cartoon face to me so much lol!
Haha all personal preference for sure. I do think the grizzly has a tough look.
I can't believe you didn't even wash it before the video.
It is shameful I'll admit.
