Here's the scenario
Mostly driving on paved/Gravel roads and Grass with 520 in 2WD
Launching and retrieving Jon Boat.
Yard work and hauling Kids
Yearly, week long hunting trip Canadian shield rocky terrain & gravel roads.

I don't want to destroy the lawn, as no Turf mode on 520.

What I was considering:
Rear Tires:
Maxxis Ceros on the Rear tires ( More turf friendly )
Front Tires:
Maxxis BigHorn 2.0 ( For when I get stuck or in 4 wheel drive )

I am told the Bighorn 2.0 and Ceros have essentially the same dimensions.

I kind of like the idea. The P5 is tough on turf, for sure.

Torq locker?
I like the idea too. Most of my riding is on hard and soft dirt, some grass and gravel. Are you considering OEM sizes/going bigger/all same size? If you do it, let us know. I'll probably be due for tires by this summer and I'm open for ideas.

If the front and rear tires are not exactly the same diameter you'll pout a lot of strain on the driveline when in 4wd.

Tires of different brands may actually differ in diameter even when the manufacturer says their tires are the same nominal size.
