just returned from picking up a set of 27" ITP XTR's on 14" ITP rims...

I got home and lined them up with the 30" SB's currently on my outty to see how many inches I was gonna lose-

the flipping 27" xtr's are the same size as the 30" SB's! both have 7 psi in'em





in this pic- you can't even see the 30" sb behind the 27" xtr









either the xtr's run large, or the SB's run small-







-

 

My guess would be the SBs aren't as big as advertised. Can you measure them for us?

 

I measured the tires from the floor to the top of the lug- the xtr's were 26 3/4"
the SB's were about the same-

the front 27" xtr's were about 1" smaller than the 30" sb's-

I thought I was pretty familiar with tire sizes- but I guess not

 

Bizarre comes to mind.

 

BFG mud terrains in 35" size are actually only 34", not all tires are what they claim to measure.
I swear the 28" ITP mega mayhems are the same as your silverbacks, actually now that they are on my quad im not sure if i would have the clearance for an extra inch of meat under there.

Are you happier with the XTR's?

 

Yes the 27" XTR's are some big tires...can't wear mine out!

 

Is there a website with specs for the XTR's ? I'm primarily interested in size/ weight.

 

I'm not sure...

I'll sell you the tires & rims for $600-

 

Tempting !!! I'm trying to get a better idea on the weight of a few tires before I make a final decision.

 

ITP website, i wasn able to find actual measured sizes, i think the lug differences give the illusion of making the 28" mega mayhem's look the same size as a 27"XTR

I have owened both, no complaints about either,currently running the mega's and i think the XTR was a better tire for New England. The Mega Mayhems no doubt dug down deeper in the mud.
