P700 Side wall blow out

[cschomber63]

Set of 26 in Pitbull Growlers about 507 from Summit. Thats a couple 26x9x12 and a couple 26x11x12's and they are 6 plyers.

I'll get with you when it's time for tires. Maybe get rims and tires that are taller

Hit a sharp rock on my property thankfully right before a trail ride and cut a star shaped hole in the sidewall of the front drivers tire. I could stick my thumb in the center of it. Rode it a couple hundred yards to the house and pulled it. I took it to town, bought a 6"x6" boot and a tube at tractor supply, then took it to the only little garage open (this was Sunday) and he booted it but the tube wouldn't fit, despite the fact that it was labeled the same size as my tire. Anyway, it worked without the tube so I returned it and thus the problem was fixed for $20.00.

Hi Monte,

I'm with you and would have fixed the stock tire. Nothing wrong with them and many don't give much credit to them but serve many well depending on use. Best wishes and great thread. Looking for options on another set of tires cause mine are a bit worn but no hurry. 244.99 full set factory size Bighorn knockoff 6 ply's on Amazon and free shipping and found a set of Honda barely used rims for a hundred close to home on Craigslist. Still thinking cause I got the 500 and the 700 and can swap around.

Thank you jawquin, my stock tires are new, 100 miles or so. Yeah, I will fix them like that. I too have the P5 and P7 and I replaced the tires on the P5 with Bighorns when the stocks had just 3-400 miles on them so I thought I'd bring one of those up here as a spare for the P7, only thing is that the P5 has 24's stock and the P7 has 25's. I wonder if that would be ok just to get back off the trail?? Have you looked into the reviews on those Bighorn knockoffs???

If you have one odd size tire I would only use it on the front (because the rear is always locked as you know). If you got a bad flat in the rear you could put a stock front back there and your spare on the front. My concern is the two different size tires on a locked diff would put a lot of stress on the diff. How much? I don't know. How long could you get away with it? I don't know that either. Just something to consider.

Thanks T, I appreciate the instruction, good points.

I did some reading on the knockoffs and I'm all for them on these Hondas because they only do 40 or so excluding the 1000. I had a set of Artrex radials in one of my carts for 313.46 for a set of 2 26x9x12 and 2 26x11x12. I am way off but I just bought a set of Rage Storm tires. A set of 4 27x9x12 for 296.00 shipped so we will see how they do and I put miles on my machines. Best wishes.

What are you running those on? P1000, 700 or 500?
