27's on factory deluxe rims here as well. No power loss that I can tell. Picked up a couple inches in height and much quieter on asphalt

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. If you could change to 28s would you? I can’t decide if I want to keep stock height and get 27s or get the Super ATV 2” spacer lift and get 28s so I can get a little more clearance. I’m trying to compare the pros and cons of each.

PS, is that a JBL speaker strapped to the frame bar in the top of the cab?
No I would not because know a couple of people with them and it changed the gearing enough plus with tire weight they have a noticeable loss.. with 27s you don't notice a loss .but they still do pretty good with 28s

I like it , they look much better with 27s and you will like the extra clearance . And in response to a question you asked a while back that is a JBL speaker on my cage.

I like them so far. Not completely sold on the tires for what I use it for, I may switch to the Bighorns.
And I thought so about the speaker, it’s genius. I found a strap on Amazon for about $12 that’s made to put a speaker on a golf cart cage and it holds my JBL Charge on the top perfectly. You can’t even tell it’s up there, it blends in with the roof.

I run 27s on mine no power loss. You should be more than fine . I enjoy mountain riding there's never been a problem. Mine is also a 700 2 deluxe.View attachment 220298

looks like your roof is a little warped in this picture? Mine was the same when I received it from Honda. I used a heat gun and some pressure to straighten it out

I put SunF 27 x 9 fronts 27 x 11 rears and absolutely lost power. My SxS will not hit 43 mph anymore unless on flat pavement and takes forever. More of a 38-39 mph machine now. I also added a full size deep cycle battery so I imagine that a very small part of it.

Was that on the dash? If so use a GPS and see what that speed says. Going up in tire size may affect the speedometer. Not sure on that though.
