So this is a simple question that I can not find a definite answer to. What is the largest tire that can be put on the Honda Talon X with stock rims, stock A-arms, and stock suspension?

I have heard alot about 32 inch tires "slightly" rubbing. I am looking at purchasing 31x10x15 inch STI Out & Back Max tire's. STI claims it to be a "true 31 inch tire". I need to know if they would clear on the stock Talon X.

I have read several things that say 30's clear no problem, and that 32's rub slightly. With this being said I think the "true" 31's should clear. Any and all input and thoughts are appreciated.

You can run a 30 but larger may rub depends on actual height width etc. You can go much larger with forward A Arms, spacers, and upper spring replacement.

BlueDog1210 thank you. The tires I am looking at are 31x10x15 they claim them to be "true to size". I'm trying to keep stock with good mud tires and there arent many options in a 15 inch rim.

I understand, and it gets more complicated the larger you go. I like your idea to keep the suspension stock. If just 31s you could replace the upper springs (Bandit) -- that gave me 1 inch in the front and 1.25 inches more height in the rear and the whole set for all four tires was $200 and no spring compressor required. It also makes the ride ever so much better even with the stock wheels. The only other issue would be the fencer well expecially the drivers side that is where I needed the most clearance.

I run 32" carnivores and have only had it slightly rub twice. I believe they measure at or slightly over 32"

31s should clear no problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by not many options for 15s they seem pretty dang common for 30s and up.

I think Grooms is correct. The more time passes the more options there are for Talons. When you try to match the offset of the OEM in a 15 inch wheel there still is not much to pick from.

Supposedly system 3 makes a 6+1 and 4+3 in the same offset, according to a few guys on honda sxs club, that is the closest to stock with 10" tires all around.

Personally, I'm planning on 5+2 all around with 1" spacers in the back, which will be a little wider in the front. Not a fan of spacers, but in the rear, I don't think it's a huge deal.

 

[BlueDog1210]

There are some very nice custom made wheels but they come with a nice price tag as well. The more options that are available for our Talons the better.

I just pulled the cord on some System3 (6x1) (4x3) with 32 x 10 Carnivores from PlanetSXS for my X4 Live Valve. I'll let y'all know the result.

 

[BlueDog1210]

Do send pictures when they come in.

OK, so the System 3 SB4 with Graphite rings came in from Planet SXS. I opted for the 5-2 offset all around as so many have recommended for the ability to rotate front to back. I used RB3 1.75" spacers in the rear. They are VERY nicely made. I would highly recommend them. Measured track is 65F/64.5R. This combo weighs 34.5 Lbs each. With the Turbo, it should be fine.

Hi Bikmakr, very nice setup. The tires make the ride what air pressure are you using.

31s should clear no problem.

was the inside of the tire rubbing on the suspension or was the rubbing issue with the fenders? thanks

Anyone tried the XTR370's yet from System 3? Looking at a 32 or 33 for my Fox LV X4. Thanks!

I have a set of 35” xtr370’s on my x4. I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet.

Nice, I bet it looks great. Any photos? I ordered the 33's, 3 of them showed up, and 1 on back order. As anyone looking for these tires knows they're a challenge to get right now. I have the SuperAtv high clearance A Arms with the 1.5" forward offset, as well as spacers, so I think clearance won't be an issue.

I will get some pics. I did the same,super atv a arms and the spacers in the rear. I also went with system 3 sb-5 bead locks.

Love the 35s I am running SuperATVs Warrior Slick Rock Edition and have been very happy with them. Do send pictures.
