Best For
Adventure Commuter
You put daily miles on a dual-sport or adventure bike and still want to detour onto a fire road or gravel path on the weekend. You care more about real-world durability and versatility than chasing peak performance numbers — the Carnivore RT was built with you in mind.
Perfect Match
Sport-Touring Explorer
Most of your riding is on pavement, but you like picking routes that eventually turn to dirt or chip-seal. You want a tire that keeps its composure on canyon roads and still gives you a confidence buffer when the asphalt ends — the Carnivore RT delivers on both.
Great Match
Track Day Enthusiast
If maximum lean-angle grip and on-limit feedback on a closed course are your priorities, a dual-purpose tire is the wrong tool. The Carnivore RT's versatility comes at the expense of outright track performance — step up to a dedicated sport tire for track days.
Consider Avon 3D Supersport or similar dedicated sport tire

Frequently Asked
Yes — the bridge-reinforced center blocks and optimized tread geometry keep the tire stable and planted at highway speeds. It's not a dedicated touring tire, so don't expect the same silky comfort as a pure road tire, but it handles sustained highway miles well. Wear life holds up reasonably even with heavy freeway use.
Wet performance is adequate for all-season riding — you won't be caught off guard in light rain or on damp canyon roads. That said, the tread pattern is optimized for multi-surface versatility rather than maximum wet cornering grip, so give yourself extra margin in heavy downpours. It's not in the same league as a dedicated sport-road tire in the wet.
For mixed street and light off-road use, most riders get somewhere in the range of 6,000–9,000 miles — solid numbers for a dual-purpose tire. Stick mostly to pavement and you'll likely see the higher end of that range; push it harder on dirt and gravel and expect to trade some mileage for the fun. The reinforced center construction genuinely helps with wear resistance.
The Carnivore RT is at home on gravel roads, fire roads, and well-maintained dirt paths — it's a real dual-purpose tire, not just a street tire with some aggressive graphics. Where it taps out is technical single-track and aggressive off-road riding; for that, you want a purpose-built knobby. Think of it as confidently expanding your riding territory, not replacing a dedicated dirt tire.
More than you'd expect from a street-adjacent tire. The shoulder blocks extending over the sidewall act as a genuine buffer against rock strikes, root impacts, and curb hits that would pinch or cut a standard road tire. It's not armor plating, but it adds real-world confidence when you're picking your way through rough terrain off the pavement.
Important question — the Carnivore RT's size range (28–32 inch diameter, 10-inch width, 14–15 inch rim) is designed for UTVs, ATVs, and similar off-road machines, not standard street motorcycles. Confirm your specific application and rim specs before ordering. If you're unsure, call us at (714) 516-9059 and we'll verify fitment before you buy.
