itp tire

What is your take on the new itp blackwater tires? 

  good tires just priced on the high side. Too high for what they are, but so is everything else in the rzr world.

I really like the tread pattern.

I like mine. They are sized small though. These are the 30"s.

Hey Nathen, just how tall are those 30" actually?

I just mounted some 28's, I didn't measure them but they seem to be true to size compared to the Roctanes they are replacing...I will say this...they mount up a hell of a lot easier on bead locks than the roctanes do.

Why the switch? As much riding as you do I respect your advice on tires...

Leakage

I'll let Jody tell it...

My first set of 30 Rocktanes leaked but they were on ITp beadlocks & would go down in (2) days. The newest set of 29x15's I have now haven't leaked any at all & I run them at 5psi

Tried 3 sets...never did get 4 tires that would hold air...I gave up.

I don't blame you there...Are you running Hyper wheels?

yes, I mounted 2 up last night. I sprayed both down with soapy water to check for air leaks...neither tire grew a bubble beard...I never had that good of luck with any of the roctanes.

*Got the Evo's mounted up...got a few pictures to compare the two tires...Both are 28*10*14 the Roctanes have 3 rides on them for about 200 miles, so they are far from wore out. Both tires pictured have 7# of air in them and both are on a 7 " hiper wheel with 4x3 off set...Pictures speak volumes!

Thanks Jody. I was thinking I had to go to the 30's to get near or just above the 28" mark. Looks like the 28's will do.

I have 6 Roctanes and all of tg leaked around the bead. A couple leaked more than the others, would hafta add air to 2 of them over a weekend. Put the highlifter tire sealant in them and haven't had to add air yet.
Jody, everytime I tried to run my blackwaters under 10# I cut a sidewall on 2 different occasions. Talked to ryan at itp and he replaced them but recommended running at least 12#. Once I started running 12# I had no more trouble with them.
Glad to see the 28"a run true to size. My 27"s were on the small size by quiet a bit.

On the first 2 rides I punctured the sidewalls on 2 of mine with 8lbs of air.I aired them up to 13lbs and haven't cut anymore since.I have about 2000 miles on them now.

It's highlifter tire sealant. Same principle as slime but without all the bad side effects of it. I only put it in one tire because I was skeptical. After that tire never went down I went ahead and did the other 3. It's on the highlifter site or sniper should have enough to do 4 tires. He had a 5 gallon bucket of it. That's where I got mine, actually just gave it back to him about a week ago. It works.

I need some of that!!!

One of my Roctanes leaks down, the other three hold fine. Highlifter sealant huh...I'm no fan of Slime so I'll give it a shot.

As is sits in the shop with stock wheels the fronts measure 29" and the rears measure 28 3/4". There's about 12# fair in them.

If you use the highlifter stuff for bead leaks. After u have the sealant in the tire, put about 20#in it, flip the wheel over several times so the stuff can make its way down to the bead area. Put back on rzr and run it fast for a couple miles. Air tire down to proper # and u should be good to go

Where is the best place to get the High Lifter sealant?
