Agreed

Get 28s or 29s

Backwoods,
I can use the same rims if I get 28" though, right?
Just need to buy:
Front - 28x9-14
Rear - 28x11-14

Can you confirm?

Road riding? What does that mean?

County paved roads and gravel roads

The base model has 12” rims w 27” tires?

The cheapest,,,, most economic way,replace tires w tusk terrabites. Use existing rims.

My current rims are just a basic solid rim. I'm looking to fancy it up with a nicer rim with red in it

I just knew it! Who in there right mind would want to take the cheapest way out! I sure didn't! HA!

 

[Mopower58]

Was you already married, if so how'd hide the purchase? HA!

I didn't have to hide it. If you have to, ask for forgiveness not permission!

 

[Plumber32]

If I were to buy 28 tires it would be the terra claw.

i went with an 6+1 rim with a 1” spacer on the back. I bought 28x10x14 tires all around So I can rotate them. I went with a 6+1 rim because I already have trails I can barely fit through the check points, any wider and I‘m not getting through.

the original bighorns 2.0 are the most comfortable tires I’ve tried yet, and surprisingly durable for a 4 ply tire, but noisy on hard trail since the P1000 is so quiet at speeds.

I now have an 8 ply ITP Baha Cross with a smooth tread like you're looking to get. The ride is smooth and very quiet, I can no longer hear any road noise on hard trail like the bighorns. BUT, they are firm and the ride suffers, I guess those are the trade off of a more durable tire. I compensate by removing some air from the tires, around 8 psi up front and 11 psi in the back.

The smooth tread also affects performance in mud but that’s to be expected. I was testing them knowing they‘d be worse, but in 4wd I had trouble getting stuck as long as I kept my momentum going. Stop and your stuck in holes I usually would have made it through.

I think every tire has a trade off, know what they are before choosing and you’ll be happy with your choice. I kept my bighorns for winter and I’m happy with my choices.

I hope that helps.

Motohammer 27x14x9, Method wheels. Think the 28x10x14 Motohammer would be better. Will need 1” spacers for the rear if the wheel offset is the same front/rear.

That’s the most honest review I have read,from someone spending their hard earned money
