P500 RP Spartan 12 ply run flat tire

[Ketch]

After exploring a ton of tires I went back to what I needed for me. No flats. I also needed to still be able to haul in truck without running over wheel well. So I ended up with RP Spartan tires on stock wheels. 26x9x 12front and 26x11x12 rear. No spacers. They are a bit heavier 30lbs on the rear (ish) but the piece of mind that I can roll down any canyon and back out without a flat is worth any speed trade off I might have. I also gained about an inch of clearance.

Congrats...but man, 12 ply on a 500/520? I hope it rides better than it sounds.

So far....I like em. I don’t have a lot to compare too but it is definitely within an acceptable range. (For me).I’ll experiment with psi setting as right now I think they are “full”. Top speed is less. Will see how it tackles the hills later this week. I spend 90% of my time in second gear. I’ll report back once I can run em through the paces. I don’t have a vested interest in them working or not so I’ll give my honest assessment.

These seem like a great alternative to carrying a spare. Where can they be purchased and how does pricing compare?

Kind of had to search around but found mine on amazon also RP Spartan 12 Ply Run Flat ATV Tires had some a few days ago. They are in the 180-200 range. Here is the website rp tire Here is a youtube video of them drilling a hole in the tire.

Attempting to make my rig as bullet proof as possible. Awaiting skid plates from sssoffroad. Added stick stoppers from strongmade. Looking into roofs and potential windshield now. Basically having fun accessorizing it.

Expensive but maybe worth it. Weight is not a big deal if you never go over 20mph
