P1000 Need info/input to make knowledgeable decision

[BigOL3]

15" wheels with 28" tires make for a rough ride in my opinion - When I first started I had that set up and really did not know what I was missing until I went with 14" wheels and 30's.

Your getting a lot of opinions here and I am sure more to come. For me tires are hard to get any kind of read on until you see them work in person or know the guy and his riding style to relate his opinion to.

You have gotten a lot of good advice above and I am sure it will not make your decision any easier lol. The one thing I did not see mentioned is tires usually come with a rounded edge (terrabites, pro armor) or Squared off edge (rocktane, berzerkers, motoclaw). in my experience you run a greater risk of the fronts rubbing a little with the Squarer profile tire. I am not saying go buy them and go that way but just know that you may have to make some adjustments (lift or softball heat).

As to the arched a arms - I really like them as while they do not give you lift they do give you more clearance with the change in profile, they are more stout and also allow for camber adjustment with different set ups.

Yep, no doubt about still having some tough decisions to make BUT, at least I will have more knowledge about all the variables involved ..... lol

Let me know what you find. I currently have 15 inch rims with 28" tires. While it looks cool it is considerably rougher riding. I am going to use that set up around home but for trail rides I'm going to a 28" tire on 12" rims. Probably sti beadlocks. I'll most likely get berserkers for tires.

I would wait and look on Memorial day - too close to not just hold off a week as a lot of people run sales over that time period.

That's a lot of weight for a 28. They should hold up well.

Yeah, should hold up, on the + side, but a LOT of weight on the - side.

But I guess that lowers the center of mass .... lol

Actually, I have not ridden it yet. Doing quite a bit of stuff to it. @Average_Joe would be the guy to ask about the ride quality. Most of my riding is done on graded dirt and limerock roads with street use as well, so no need for beadlocks.

@BigOL3 Those rims and tires ride smooth a little noisy at higher speeds but tolerable. Its a night and day difference over atv tires.
