I have these tires on my kingquad, and I absolutely love them. BUT, they run very short unless you fill them to crazy PSI.

Has anyone ran and measured 25" Black Water Evolutions? I want to put them on my P520 due to their durability but I don't want to increase the height to much over stock as I need to fit in an enclosed trailer . Hoping these 25's run short like my 27's and I'll be good

I had some Black Waters 28 inch that measured 27 1/4 at 8 PSI, great tires!

I love Blackwaters, but their sizing is all over the map. My 27"s measure 26" unless you air them to the max psi which is something crazy like 27psi.
I was able to have a set of 25" measured last night and they measure 25.5" at 7 psi. So I might as well swap the 27's from my King onto the P520 and get 28's for my King.

I'm running 26 x 9 - 12 Blackwaters on all four corners - I usually run 9 to 10 PSI on all four, at 9.5 PSI on front tire measuring from floor to bottom of level resting on top of tread 25-1/4".
I dropped pressure to 5.0 PSI on rear and measured again the same way, 24-1/2". I think added weight in the rear affects tire height somewhat. I also believe the Blackwater Evo's are measured with no weight on tire, possibly without even being mounted.

BTW I also have an enclosed trailer which is why I purchased the EMP aluminum roof (plastic wasn't available when I bought mine) as it only adds about 3/8" to height above roll bar. With the above named tires at 9 or 10 PSI overall height is 71-1/2" to top of highest point of roof.
