Kenda executioner's

[Tflynn]

Just got these Executioners mounted up and out for a ride today. They don't ride as smooth as the stockers did on hardpack but man oh man do they get some traction! I went with these because i like the way the tread pattern resembles that of a tractor tire. I bought 26x10 and put them on stock wheels all around. Now I'm wishing I went with 27s or even 28's. next time I guess. Ill have to get some pictures in the mud now!!

Those are good looking tires. Congrats.

Thanks Joe. So far I'm happy with them, I'll try to do a better review once I get some miles on them

I bought 27's and ended up swapping them for 28's

I bought 26's but they actually measure out to 25" when installed on the machine and off the jack at 9-10 psi. So I'm thinking definitely 28's next go around if I stick with the same ones. If I recall Ohana, you had a similar issue with tires not being true to size. Live and learn.

 

[ohanacreek]

Yup but weren't that far off.

Ended up with tires taller than size on sidewall.

First post finally just sold my 2012 800XP and picked up a 700-2, won't get into the Ranger issues other than I never had a belt problem but the rest of the machine was yugo-ish.
@Tflynn, how bad are the 10" fronts throwing mud? Considering Mega's for I am an ITP fan coming from 589's on my old Foreman then I had Bi-Tris "would love to run them again as well", but like you I do like the design of the Exec's, its the 10" front and mud slinging Id rather not have to deal with. I saw you were looking for spacers, for me making them any wider would not be good. Considering Fenders as is.

 

[Tflynn]

I don't have too much time in the mud yet, hopefully within the next few days. What little I have been in, I haven't noticed them throwing too much unless wheel spin is high, then look out! But if you're worried about it I would get the fender flares regardless of which mud tire you get.

 

[Tufelhundin]

Sounds good, its so dang dry down here in La., Im not too sure why Im even worried about mud, but my main use will be for hunting season and with that usually comes the rain and the main reason I prefer a UTV is to not get soaked or muddy when going to and from the woods. Thanks for your reply and your right fender flares will probably be mounted regardless of what tire I switch too.

Do you guys notice any power loss with the big heavy tires? New pioneer owner looking for replacement

With my new tires only being one inch taller than stock, no I can't say I've noticed any power loss. I have read other people's posts that say 28" (3" larger than stock) cut power noticeably. If you're worried about it, my advice would be going with a 26-27" tire.

One other thing to consider, radial tires have less rolling resistance, so the power loss should be less noticeable if at all.

And welcome to the club @greenheadsled!!

I have 27" Mega's on 14' wheels and I really didn't notice any power loss, although I mainly use mine for working in the woods year round hauling stuff and pulling a trailer with deer stands, feed, seed, etc.
