The Machine:
2016 Polaris XP Turbo
First test...... the toughest UTV Race in the United States, The 10th Annual King Of The Hammers.
Theses tires were flawless. At high speeds the Crawler XG runs true and feels like a Z rated sports car tire.
In the rocks, these tires live up to their name. Climbing like a mountain goat with rubber hoofs.
Back home, in Alabama, I had the opportunity to test the 32" Crawler XG on some good ole southeastern slick rock.
Again these tires continue to impress me. The ruts, rocks and logs were no match for the sticky compound of the XG.
With the 32x10-14 weighing in at only 39.9 lbs (using my scale), 9 lbs lighter than the 32" Roctane and 2lbs heavier than the 30", these tires feel light weight with virtually no detection of power loss.
Height at 10psi mounted on a 14x7 wheel, but not on the RZR, came to just under the 32" mark.
Once installed, they settled at exactly 31".
