So I am looking at going to a different tire and want to see if anyone is running or tried to run the 27" Zillas on their touring. Not to be rude, but to get straight to the point, it doesn’t matter if you have them on your standard 570. The touring model has the rear passenger foot rest braces that can be problematic for rubbing issues. I’ve read some posts regarding the 850 touring guys trying 28" zillas, but not sure how the 570 compares to the 850 T as far as wheel well clearance. I typically run 5 PSI all four corners and 5.5 psi in rear if wife is with me. Seems from what I have read the Zillas measure true to size measuring them at 7 psi unloaded (not mounted on machine). Guys measuring on machine seem to get anywhere from a 1/2 inch to an inch shorter depending on PSI when mounted. However I’m not sure how much the compression would help prevent rubbing at the footrest braces. I know bobx2 said he had some rubbing issues with 26" Bearclaw HTRs until he made some bending modifications. I already have delta steel 4+3 rims on the machine. Thanks for any help.
So a quick reason why I am considering swapping out in case anyone is wondering. I put the 25" Artrax tires on, and haven’t had any problems out of them, but it seems more and more the people I ride with only want to go to a local atv place that is on the canadian river (sundog), so its lots of sand and mud if we’ve had rain. They also have dedicated mud pits there. The Artrax are not mud tires, so they ball up in the sticky mud. They do great on regular trails and rocks though, which is what I would prefer to go ride. May keep them as a second set, but we’ll see. I’m still trying to get my buddies away from the convenience of Sundog and make the 1.5 hour drive to cooler places to ride.
