Just like everyone, this bike can do it all, and we all are looking for the perfect tire…unfortunately, it doesn’t exist…at least not for me.
I have 2 sets of tires I switch out depending on where I’m riding.
Currently I use the stock tires for fast trail riding in sugar sand and hard packed….they are super light weight and 4ply? I don’t have much faith in their durability so thats why they are my sand tire.
My go to set of tires are the Pitbull Growlers 26.5 S/W….these tires are in my opinion, the best of everything. They are 8 ply, which makes them pretty much bullet proof. The tread sticks to everything…Rocky terrain, sand, light-medium mud, pretty much every type of riding. In mud, a little throttle clears them out and you keep going….flings mud EVERYWHERE!! lol
The cons to this tire is that it’s a heavy tire and it would be too heavy if you needed to go larger. I have them mounted on a lightweight set of hyper rims to help balance the weight of them. I love this tire but they aren’t a primary mud tire!
This leads me into the third set… Outback Max tires. I was looking for a extreme mud tire (2" depth) that would still be smooth on the trails. I was back and fourth between Outlaws, Outlaws 2, Silverbacks, Intimidators.
My renegade is stock height and I didn’t want to have to cut and trip floor boards so I went with the new 28" version. The 28" version was also the lightest which I figured would be less wear and tear on my axles etc.
Unfortunately, I feel like I’m buying this tire in the blind as there are not many reviews on this tire. I’ve found a few on SXS’s but nothing on a stock renegade. I’m going to a mud park next month and I’ll be sure to do a full review.
Here are a couple links of pictures I found on the Catvos.com site of a renegade with the Outback Max tires. What do you think?
