I have a new set of mega mayhems. (Front ) 27-9-12 ( rear ) 27-11-12. I put them on a new set of Itp ss212 black rims. I'm gona put them on after I do my first service ( which is in about 20 miles ) which leads me to my question/concern. I ride pretty hard and I'm finding the way I ride that even with the factory tires it's seems to be under powered. Do yall think the mayhems will be too much for it?

I already had the tires that I bought for another atv but never used. I can trade them for some lighter ones. I was just seeing if anybody has that setup and would give me some input

I love this site. I've learned a lot from it. I may just weight them and see. Then do a lil test run. I've talked to a guy on the Honda pioneer 500 riders Facebook page that had 28's mega mayhems on stock rims and he said it was a significant power loss. So I was thinking with 1" shorter tire and aluminum rims it would be better. The stock rims are steel and are kinda heavy. The ss rims are lighter so it may come close to evening out or just a bit over stock setup weight.

Yeah.....that's a plan
Remember...tall tires aren't tall with low psi
these tires I got says max psi is 18
I run 15 psi....
just wat ever works for you

Gave the mayhems a test run this past weekend and it did great. I noticed a lil power loss but not much. Will definitely keep them on.
