P700 Newbie/repeat question on wheels/tires

[BrentW]

I have a 2016 Pioneer 700-2 and am ready to replace the factory tires. I want a 27 on a 12 rim. I am wanting to go with the same tire all the way around so I can rotate. Seems the locked rear axle wears out the back twice as fast as the front. Gonna have to buy wheels too and my concerns are clearance, steering, and off set as far as not wanting the tires to stick out too far on either end. Looking at swamp lite and outback max tires by the way. Any info would be appreciated.

Also I mainly hunt and ride my wheeler around my property. No real pavement or gravel use. Just dust and mud when it rains.

If you go with a 5+2 offset you should be ok

I totally agree maybe someone else can tell you for sure. I have 27x14 on mine but I have a 2 1/2 lift

Do you think the 27's would clear without the lift? What width tires are you running?

I think it would with the 12 inch tires I have 27x9x14 on front and 27x11x14 on rear

I am wanting the same tire size all around the bike

I should have gotten the same size when these tires wear out I think I'm going to go with 10 inch wide on all four

Welcome from pa. And yes you can run 27" tires on 12 in rims 10" wide all around but I think you need a certain offset.
Some one who runs same size will chime in soon.

All the swamp lite packages I have seen are 10 wide rear and 9 wide in front. Wonder why? Been looking on Wildboar ATV. Is there another vendor with better prices around?
