P500 Project RAMBO - upgrades and adventures...

[SouthwestORV]

Gorgeous weather yesterday. So I took my boy out on a ride with me and we were both in the mood to goof around.

 

[SouthwestORV]

I ORDERED NEW TIRES TODAY. You guys have been giving me a hard time for the past 6 months...and I received confirmation that my order ships out tomorrow. So, four new tires are coming, and I will give you one hint - they are NOT stock size. (I know you're relieved.) Any guesses as to my new setup?

26" original big horns with 1.5" spacers?

Well? I know you ain't in bed at 9:30!

I wouldn’t put it that way, maybe encouragement.

I thought Smitty was the only one that talks to himself.

Lol....

Oh...you're really close.

I actually hit the sack early last night...this time of year I get to bed early so I can get up early and play in Rambo before work.

Yes, encouragement is correct.

I sing to myself while I'm out in the P500. I don't even realize it till later when I'm watching my GoPro footage.

 

[SouthwestORV]

I'd love to see more guesses if anybody else cares, but I'll send a picture as soon as they arrive.

You gave away that you are saving up for 5+2 wheels on another thread so you won't need spacers.....

26 x 9 x 12 BH 2.0's on all 4 corners (or a knock off of that tread pattern)

 

[DG Rider]

Tires. On wheels?

You definitely are a man enjoying his P5!!!

You basically got it. I ordered SUNF "Power II" tires, which are the equivalent of the Maxxis BH 2.0. I ordered four of them in size 26x9-12 as you stated. I have seen multiple references to a 1" spacer on the rear with the setup, which is what I will likely do. Planning to mount these tires on new ITP Delta 5+2 wheels. Hope it turns out nice.
