most I have found are a 5/2 offset which will make the 1000 2" wider
Same here. I'm not real worried about width though since it will be mostly dry weather when I will run them. Where I'm from if the mud ain't flyin you ain't tryin! Lol

I would love to run a tire like this stock size or maybe one size bigger but wont it weigh a lot and really bog the machine down? I notice on my polaris 700 I went up one tire size and noticed a huge difference in performance I can only imagine running a truck tire would really be a lot heavier and cause performance issues??????I was looking for something similar when I cam upon another member running these. I'm sold. Also have a limited background, but familiar with jeep/bronco tires. My buddy recommended BFG/AT's. Until I t ld him I wanted at 14/28 tire.

From what I've herd from people running 30s or 28s they didn't notice much power loss on these 1000s. They don't weigh much more/less than bigger tires made for a sxs.I would love to run a tire like this stock size or maybe one size bigger but wont it weigh a lot and really bog the machine down?

I've got the Tensor regulators. Very little time on them just mounted Saturday. But the ground is real sloppy with frost coming out 2" of slop on top of ice. They hook up and throw mud good. I only put a mile on as I was tearing up the field. My concern with actual truck tires is how stiff they are since there designed for alot more weight. These with 8psi have a little bulge and still flex.
Right on, if you pull the trigger I'll be interested in the review, never a bad thing to save some moneyGood to hear! I've wondered about them in the mud.
I looked at the Tensor tires, but I'm kinda cheap that's why I am looking at truck tires lol. I can get the Federals for $466 at my door vs $628 for the Tensors.
I'm trying to decide on wheels. I like the 2 I posted earlier, but can't decide which I like better. Both are about the same price. If all goes well I'll be able to buy the tires Friday.Right on, if you pull the trigger I'll be interested in the review, never a bad thing to save some money
I like the sti myself.I'm trying to decide on wheels. I like the 2 I posted earlier, but can't decide which I like better. Both are about the same price. If all goes well I'll be able to buy the tires Friday.
I'm leaning that way a little more because they are more similar to truck wheels.I like the sti myself.
Thanks, good to know! If they do split after a year or so it won't really hurt my feelings, I'm getting the tires just over $100 a tire. If I have to replace them next year I'll spend a little extra and get some better tiresThis might not be a problem on a sxs but I had the Federal Cougaria tires on my f150 super crew and after the first year they started splitting. Didn't have many miles on them either.
Not in the HD4s, the HD5s are and they have another wheel that is a beadlock.I really like those STI wheels. Do they have a beadlock version? Those look killer
15x7.what size did you go with and where did you get them can't wait to see them on your 1000
