Got the new wheels mounted today. ITP steelies with 2x5 offset, I wanted to stay as close to stock width and be able to rotate them.

Awesome looking P5.
I was perfectly content with my tires and wheels until someone said.....you want to trade wheels and tires?

That's my "Sneaker" on the right - 60" wide - 27.75" Big Horn 2.0 x 11" on all four with 2 + 5 ITP Wheels and 1" spacer on rear only. With Two Thousand miles on this setup I can say this setup REALLY works. Rides like a dream compared to stock. Running 6PSI rear and 5.5 PSI in front. A tire n wheel swap changes me back to 50" too! CP's rigs on left and Hound Dog's in the middle.

Well after over 600 miles, Buggy finally got some big boy shoes. Kenda Bear Claw HTR 26x9x12 in front and 26x11x12 in rear all on ITP Delta 5+2 wheels. This setup raised him about 1.5" and he's at about 52" wide. I just took him on a 35 mile trail ride and all I can say is "WOW!". He's a totally different machine. I can't believe the difference in the ride quality. And the extra height is more than welcome. We went through some pretty thick mud, up and down some rocky hills, through some large puddles, and rode high speed (for the P5) on gravel. The performance in all aspects is improved over stock. For any one who is hesitating new tires my advice is just do it. I'm now sorry I waited a year.

Just picked up tires for hunting season, 26x9.50x12 Vampire ASX mounted on the factory wheels with 4psi. They steer very easy and ride really well for a mud tire.

What's catching my attention is the wheel and tire set up has changed twice since then. Went to 11's on all four for a bit with 1" spacers on the back, sold them to @Todd627 . Now running 28x10's...it never ends!

Thanks Lou! Actually I was looking at a pic of your ride and it gave me an idea for something that'll be pretty BA. Just have to find the time to do it now.
Hey nctrailboss, know it’s 2yr old post but I’ve got same setup except with maxxis ceros. Like them but not the best in mud.. so thinkin bout going back to bh2’s. Do the 26 9 12’s run true to size? Do u find them to flex too much on side hills? Psi? Thanks!

They are at least true 26",maybe a tad larger.I feel the flex is spot on at 9psi.A good ride and just the right flex at 9psi.I personally would not want a tire any larger,as I feel it hurts the gearing too much.
