P500 Sedona Rip-saw tires

Noice! About time man, you were due! Now we'll have to race to see if they slow you down.

Haha. You still have 300 lbs of speaker magnets I don't have.

They've arrived. I'm going to run some speed tests with the stock tires then put them on and see what the difference is. Saturday at the latest.

If you have a GPS use it to record your speeds, much more accurate.

Pickup a set of RipSaws for my new 1k LE.
I had great luck with the ones on my 700.
Got 28x10x14's for all 4 corners plus spare.

Do you think the ride is better than the stock tires now? I forgot about the bit of power loss thing, I noticed that on mine too at first, but as they 'break-in' you'll gain a bit of that back. If you know your gonna run on smooth fast trails, you can bump up the pressure to reduce the rolling resistance a bit. I also remember that they did kinda 'hunt around' a little on loose gravel, but that is gone now too. How are your arms and shoulders after 200 miles- power steering next!?

I do think the ride is better than stock, and I felt that 200 miles on my neck sides and arms the next few days

I have a whole plan involving speedo, gps and a video camera. Video to follow.

I hope you imply that you will use the speedometer when you say speedo and you not wearing a speedo.

Well. I guess I do now.

I chose those because they were the most basic looking with the least amount of chrome. I'm not a fan of fancy wheels.

Thanks! And thank you to you and everyone else who has done the research and shared the information to help the rest of us choose tires.

Done!

Ohhh, Davy Sprocket's a whole different beast now, BA! It's going to handle way better than what you're used to, like a different machine.
Cool trick with the pic too, really shows the difference.

Maybe I should start calling him Dave?

That's some funny s**t! LMAO!

1) They are mud slingers. My machine was covered in mud. 2) there is a slight loss of power when climbing grades in 5th. 3) on loose gravel I could feel a slight drift when cruising in 5th. 4) with 6 pounds of pressure the ride was excellent over rocky trails. 5) climbing was a huge improvement on trails. 6) I am very satisfied with the Rip-Saw. Glad I bought them.

Just an FYI...
Climbed a sandy hill yesterday that another P5 that had Rip Saws couldn't climb. Don't know if they were too heavy or just digging too deep into the sugar, I know my machine weighs more than his. He tried a couple times before I did and it just wasn't happening. Had a tight turn between two trees at the top of it too. Might have been the other way around had it been a mud hole though.

Interesting.. In the ratings for the rip-saws it did rate them fairly low for sand use. They are very stiff, and seem to also have a pretty hard rubber compound, so no real surprise there. Any idea if he tried lowering air pressure? I found out the hard way with a full size 4X4 pick-up on the beach- didn't make it a 100' and was dragging the diff's. Let a bunch of air out, and continued with no more issues.

I heard he lowered them down to 6 lbs and is thinking about lowering them to 4 lbs.

I took mine to sand dunes last week. Rip saws are terrible in the sand.
