Ive observed Big horn 2.0 and Tusk trilobite 26*10*12 and they are good for trail riding with snow, but plowing you need chains at least on rear or all four for pushing and not sliding to the side. On ice any tire is good with chains

would agree no tires good in ice, but chains are better. I like the mud light two or black water as far as deep snow and deep mud they clean better than the ones with narrow tread and still have the side traction to keep you where you want to go, ride pretty smooth too

itp or maxxis they ride a lot better ive found the cheaper tires wont feel as balanced, tend to vibrate from tread or just imbalance
don't last as long either

Buy tires for the primary terrain riding, in winter put chain and you are all set.

If u ride mud then Sedona m rebel, whatever fit your wallet.

Any thoughts on wheels steel vs aluminum on p5
Save money and keep your original wheels. Just add 1.5" spacer on the rear.

really don't save any weight on a lot of aluminum wheels, most oem steel ones are pretty light to begin with

I bought aluminum only for wider stance, but on the second p500, im working on now, i kept original wheels and save money for other upgrades. Since u want to plow , use those money for good set of chains, start with rear if u still slide a lot then put on the front also.
