P500 For those using 27 inch tires.

[slow poke]

I definitely will.

About the truck tires just wondering about the side walls, which are best in a rocky condition where most rocks are not much bigger than a foot ball but sharp edges I ride very slow in those conditions, but would love a little smother ride. I know get out of the rocks but the trails lead to those conditions I live in eastern Kentucky. where trails are unlimited. love my P 500. but don't like the bottom out some times on the 25x 12's

I've been happy with my 27" tires, before and after my 2" spacers all around. I have the XTR Black Diamonds and they are traction beasts

I have 28 inch mud bugs. Little rubbing in front at full lock. 1.5 inch spacers in back. Love this set up. Almost foot of clearance under this thing.

Trying to choose between 28x10 terrabite radials on 14x7 5+2 on all 4 and 27x9 terrabite radials on 14x7 5+2 on all 4
need to keep front or back no wider than 54” for trailer size limit. Light to medium trail riding. no frame mods perfered,spacers ok.
read all the forums I can find , looking for more input thanks

You're going to rub with 28's unless they run small.

Well, as your first post.......welcome to the club 👍
Trigger is the man to take advice from if any 👍 sorry I can't help as i'm not too familiar with the P5s. But being that you are in FL and most our trails have some kinda sugar sand/mud I'd look for a tire to perform well in that.....

Good luck 👍

 

[Backwoods]

Trigger is correct as a former P5 owner 27 is the limit.

 

[Bigtee]

The 27X9 Terribites on the front of my 520 are close, agree with Trigger and Backwoods, I think 27’s are the limit.

 

[futzin]

27s on 14s is pushing it.

 

[The Green Goat]

27x10 truck profile with 1.5" spacer rubs hard on the posterior fender well.

You might scrub on your trailer too? 28x10x12 BH's on 5+2's and no spacers puts mine at 55" in the front.

 

[First Gun]

thanks For everyone’s input, it is appreciated ……27s ordered

 

[First Gun]

Took a little while to get them so I ordered a new winch bumper to pass the time….lol

Have you given any though to mud flaps? I put 27x10x12 on my P500 and love them. However, I haven't ridden in the mud yet and I'm thinking it is going to be er....interesting.

Have not given any thought about mud flaps. Next maybe a snorkel kit

Mine has 27 inch mudlite xtr and they last forever and didn’t rub Great riding radial tire

Are yours on stock rims? Spacers? Actual height? Rubbing?

 

[Red500]

27" tusk Terrabites
Stock rims, 1.5" spacers, 26.5 at about 8 psi., No rubbing.

 

[stobiadas]

28 inch mud bugs by maxis. 12 inch wide in the back with 1.5 inch spacers and 10 inch wide in front with no spacers. Tiny amount of rub in the front at full lock. Forward a-arms would take care of that. I think I measured them at 27.5-27.3/4 height at 6 pounds of pressure
