Just pulled the trigger on some STI Roctane XD’s and Tusk Nebo Beadlocks. I’ll post pics when they come in.

The wheels and tires came in today, got all of them mounted. I went with 14” tusk nebo wheels and sti Roctane tires. I put 26x11-14 on the rear and 26x9-14 on the front. The combo raised the pioneer 1 1/4” all together. I’ll try to take it for a ride tomorrow and report on how they handle. They do add some additional weight just by feel, not sure about any performance negatives yet. I will also post more pics later.

After some testing last weekend, I can say the Roctanes do very well in the mud. I need more snow to report on that. The 14” wheels with 26” tires ride good without any noticeable power loss. The tires make good contact and clean out well.

Update:
The tusk beadlocks are solid wheels but if you buy them, make sure they are torqued when they come in. I had 5 or 6 bolts noticeably backed out. It takes a little time to follow the pattern and tighten them all 10lbs and then 20lbs on 20 bolts per wheel.

don't forget a review after you have had these a while. I am interested to hear what you have to say about them.
Will do. I can tell you that they get around great so far, no real snow testing yet though. I figured mud would be an issue but it hasn’t yet. I can go places in 2wd that required 4wd with the stock tires.

Hey thanks. I am curious to hear how these worked overall when you get to test them out. From what I am reading, can I assume your machine is stock and the larger wheels/tire set up worked without additional mods?


I like the look of what you have, along with the additional ground clearance but I won't invest in a lot more to just change the tire pattern. Curious about offset. What exactly did you get. I may decide to copy what you have there. I am tearing up the yard and plan to use this 50/50 yard work/play but I also want to be able to track in mud or snow when needed.

Looking good.

I can’t help you with the yard, that locked rear axle is going to peel your turf unless you make semi truck turns lol. The wheels are 5+2 offset, the rear tires are 26x11-14 and the fronts are 26x9-14. Some guys don’t like 14” wheels on the 700 but I haven’t had any issues. No mods necessary, they bolted right up and no rubbing even at full lock. They made the ride better for sure.
