I bought a new set of blaster fronts and rears with the comp cut and I dont care for them,
I feel like they are to tall for the car.
i noticed a big difference in height witch changed the gear in it and it dosent feel as snapy as I think it should.
Does anyone else feel the same?
Anyone cut them down some to use them on the rocks. Lots of the crawlers and bouncers we ride with use TSL Boggers and are cut down and grooved and seem to work awesome on the rocks. Just curious if anyone has tried it.

Jackson Motorsports Group Unveils BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR2 UTV Tire at the 47th Annual Bud Light SCORE Baja 500
GREENVILLE, S.C. (June 5, 2015) — Leading motorsports and events company and race tire distributor, Jackson Motorsports Group (JMG), is proud to launch the BFGoodrich® Baja T/A® KR2 UTV tire at the 47th Annual Bud Light SCORE Baja 500 in Baja California, Mexico.
Engineered with race-proven CoreGard™ technology, the BFGoodrich Baja T/A® KR2 UTV (30×9.5×15) is the first UTV- specific tire produced by BFGoodrich. It is designed specifically for the performance demands of today’s UTVs, offering superior performance and increased mobility in soft soils, enhanced traction in mud and improved braking in loose and rocky soil.
“We have developed a winner in the KR2 desert race tire,” said Chris Baker, BFGoodrich Racing Director. “It’s become sought after in several classes from Trophy Trucks to Class 1 and Class 10. Our BFGoodrich race tire engineers have been able to design the tire so it meets various specifications while maintaining the toughness and performance needed in the desert. With the KR2 now available in the growing UTV race class, we continue charging forward with our goal of providing the best desert race tires to the broadest collection of racers. The KR2 is on its way to becoming the go-to race tire in the desert.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with BFGoodrich Tires to launch their first UTV-specific tire,” said Todd Steen, executive Director of Sales for JMG. Steen continues, ”We knew it was a huge request — asking them to engineer a durable, UTV-specific tire that is lightweight, offers a long oval footprint for better feedback in the corners, and a tread face that conforms to the infinite terrain possibilities drivers encounter in off-road environments. In doing so, we upped the ante by asking them to develop a 30” tire, one the market aspires to use once they’re serious about competition and winning races. Our testing prior to this weekend’s Baja 500 made it clear that BFGoodrich succeeded in bringing all that we asked for and more!”
Jackson Motorsports is the exclusive provider for BFGoodrich Tires’ non-DOT off-road race tires, and is excited to offer the new Baja T/A KR2 UTV as part of our portfolio. Racers and UTV enthusiasts can learn more about these tires by calling 1.800.RACEBFG or visiting www.beat1301.com.
Anyone have an opinion on one tire or the other?? When I get my XP1K, I am going with the 30" version of one of these tires. The Evo’s weighs 33lbs and the Moto Claw’s weigh 41lbs. Love to hear your thoughts.. I ride at places like Brimstone, Windrock, Hatfield McCoy, etc…
BF Goodrich introduced a new UTV tire, the Baja T/A KR2 UTV, at the Baja 500. So far it looks like just one size available 30×9.5×15. This is awesome news. It will be interesting to see how much they weigh compared to the KM2s.
After much anticipation on our part, we were able to test the Rage Storm tires at this year’s Discount Tire Rally on the Rocks.
We had four vehicles in our group fitted with Rage Storm tires and the Tread Lightly! Trail Restoration Project on Sevenmile Trail served as the first testing grounds. After we completed the fence building we went over to Wipe out Hill for our own type of recreation. The Rage Storm tires gripped the steep rock face with ease. The stability of the center rib design along with the flat tread pattern delivered solid traction. We never slipped a tire on this intimidating obstacle.
This year we had some rain to make the trails even a bit more challenging at times with the added mud/sand mixture on parts of the trail.
The high void ratio tread cleaned out the sand/mud on Cliffhanger even with wet sandy soil. We had no problem with traction what-so-ever.
We found the Rage Storm tires lived up to our expectations. The 8 ply rated tire held up to everything we threw at them on some of the toughest trails in Moab.
Climbing ledges was not a problem as the tires found grip on even the steepest surfaces such as Wipe Out Hill, Cliffhanger and the Z turn on Moab Rim Trail.
The added protection from the wrap around lugs came in handy on many of the obstacles as we bounced off many boulders along the way.
If you are looking for a tough performance tire at a value price take a look at the Rage Storm.
Key FEATURES:
Two Center Ribs improve handling in all conditions
Wrap around sidewall tread lugs for improved side bite
Radial design for optimal ride comfort
Stepped tread blocks improve stability and help reduce stone retention
Reptilian surface design for efficient clean out of mud and debris
6 and 8 Ply rated constructions for puncture resistance
