Then…A few weeks I bought another 570, EPS Version. Came with the suckhole Carlisle stock tires. The difference is un-friggin-believable. These things don’t grab anything, other than when you’re on pavement. I compared a tight two-point 90 degree turn I have to make where I store my firewood. It’s basically a rough dirt/gravel area, and I use 2wd. From a stop, you crank the wheels to the far left, and give it a little gas, trying to make a 90 degree turn. The Carlisle’s just go straight forward, don’t grip at all. The Maxxis tires on the SP turn directly left, no sliding forward. Simply amazing the difference tires can make.
I bought the 2nd 570 for my wife/daughter to ride. No way am I letting them go out on these tires. I’m dumping the Carlisles and getting some real tires asap.
The only thing fun about the stock Carlisles is when I wanna emulate my old 400ex and drift the turns on the gravel roads. They have almost NO traction, so in 2wd you can feel like a sport quad and drift that rear end all the way around a corner. I have to work like crazy to do in with the SP. But the EPS just requires a slight boost to the throttle and it’s there goes the rear end to the outward side of the turn. Wow. Big thumbs down for Carlisle.
