SHAKEDOWN: RAGE Thunder Tires

We get to ride a lot at UTVUnderground.com and in the process we get to test a lot of new products! In this SHAKEDOWN we take our brand new 2015 FOX Edition Polaris RZR XP1000 and SHAKEDOWN the all new RAGE Thunder tires by Discount Tire! In addition, we also got to test their new MB11 wheels!! The Rage Thunder is a DOT approved 8-ply radial and comes in 8 different sizes ranging from 26” tall to 30” tall and is available for 14” and 15” rims. We opted for the 30” tall, 10” wide Thunder on a 14” MB11 wheel for all 4 corners. It's a wheel and tire combo that's perfect for the RZR XP1000. Due to the wide variety in tire sizes offered in the Thunder lineup, you can duplicate the tire sizing that your UTV came with strait from the factory! We did notice after a full day of riding that the Thunder tires did show signs of surface wear or as we referred to it as scarring. The reality is there is a tradeoff to softer, sticky'r compounds and surface wear is one of them. Something rock crawlers have been used to for a long time. We can't wait to put these tires in the Moab slick rock and see how they do! We had a blast getting out of the office and putting these new wheels and tires to the test in one of our favorite backyard riding spots here in Southern California!
