P1000 Question regarding tires fitting on Honda 1000-5

[Salonisj]

I have a 2019 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Camo Deluxe. My Salesman said that Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 LT27X8.5R14s will fit and work good on front & back rims. Is this correct?

I believe diameter wise that would work, but if I'm not mistaken your factory rear wheels are 8 inches wide. That's a little close for my taste: might look a bit stretched out and certainly wouldn't offer much rim protection.

I think most guys running truck tires are running a 7 inch wide wheel all the way around.

Thanks for the response. However from my research below are the stock sizes for wheels and tires:
The stock front tires are 27x9-R14
The stock rear tires are 27x11-R14

A Honda salesman was telling me that Kumho Venture MT KL71 LT27x8.5-R14 Tires could fit on both of the stock Pioneer 1000-5 front and back rims. It seems like an awfully big stretch to put an 8.5” wide tires on both a 9” and 11” rim. Looking for comments from anyone who has experience in knowing if these tires will fit.

The stock wheels are 6.5" front and 8" rear widths. An 8.5" tire would defintely be better for 4 stock front wheels. Many of us running same tires on all 4 corners have the same wheels on each corner.

Thanks for the great info ToddACimer! So basically what your telling me is the sales man is correct that the LT27x8.5R14 will fit both the stock 6.5” Front and 8” Rear rims. However you would advise really me to buy an extra set of stock 6.5” Front Rims and put them on the rear to run the same rim and tire all the way around? Is that correct?

Yes that would work. There are also lots of choices in 14x7 wheels. You might find it's cheaper to buy 4 new wheels.
