P1000 Switching to M/T Truck tires, from ITP Mayhem (pics)

Anyone have an opinion about these? Maxxis Ceros UTV Tire 29x9R-14? Will they clear on a stock machine? Other than being high they look like a tire that would fit my needs.

How did you land on those?

Didn't land...just looking. This tire seemed to be in the realm of what may work for us. We ride a lot of gravel and some blacktop. Occasionally go to Cloud 9 ranch in Southern Mo. The original tires have 1500 mile on them and really loud on blacktop. Want less aggressive tread/longer lasting/quieter and a little taller than stock and would prefer same size on all corners.

I'd say you're right on. I've ran as low as 7psi and been fine. Anything close to 10 seems to be a good "set it and forget it" number.

I've had mine on almost a year and haven't touched them

Just curious. Thanks for adding more info. It sounds like I do a lot of similar riding to you. For gravel and blacktop an LT tire will handle far superior to anything else. If you're wanting the same tire on all 4 corners, which I was also after, i think the LT tire is really the way to go. Also a LT tire is going to last MUCH longer than a traditional UTV tire. If they last over 40,000 miles on a small truck I can't imagine them not lasting over 10-20k on a SXS.

A lot of LT tires can be had for about $80-125 each. I think I paid 125 each for my Maxxis.

@Bones the A/T tires are good for states that the machines are street legal, but the lack of spacing between the tread blocks means they will clog up the moment they get into any sort of mud.

Just my personal opinion, but I chose M/T tires and not A/T tires because these machines are really meant to spend most of their time off the pavement. I suspect a lot of the users on this forum may even find that truck rated M/T tires aren't aggressive enough for their usage. The level of traction in deep mud or sand that even a light duty M/T offers, can't be had with an A/T tire. For those lighter duty users who ride trails, farm fields, back yards, and woodlands.. an M/T tire tread design fits the bill almost perfectly.

I like to refer to A/T tires are jack of all trades, master of none. You can be OK at everything, but can't be great at any 1 thing if you are all purpose. If you are specialized like M/T you can be much more useful when the ground gets soft, and the hills get steeper, even though you still traverse pavement quite well.

I'll just add my 2 cents worth. A LT Mud terrain tire on a UTV is going to act more like a All terrain does on a truck. A LT All terrian tire on a UTV is going to act more like a highway tire does on a truck.

The LT Mud Terrain tires put on a UTV are really the jack of all trades. I've taken them all over the country and they haven't let me down. I've been with a lot of these guys riding and I've yet to find a trail that they can make it up and I can't because of tires. I just wish I could fit a little taller tires on the stock machine. Get the LT M/T tries and you wont be disappointed.

thanks for the discussion...for a completly stock machine such as mine i have decided to stay at deluxe14 inch wheel and go with a 28x10x14 tire leaning towards the quab boss,or terrabite. I think the 235/75r15 might just be a little bit too big for me and rub on the trail armor skid, saves me from buying wheels too.

I ride rocky east TN trails, avoiding mud when possible and blacktop

Youre right. My 235/75 15 did rub the trail armor skid when turning and I had to shave a little off the inside. My tires measure exactly 28". I dont know what the average 28x10-14 measures. Likely a little under 28.... lots of guys like the terrabites. Post a pic when you get something picked out.

So can I mount Kumho 27x8.5R14 on stock Deluxe wheels? Seems like the rear rims may be a little wide for the tire. Any other mods needed?

Thanks

I'll re-phrase. I mean, can I run that tire size all the way around? And do you mean use 1" spacers on the rear?

On a 1000 those will fit easy all the way around and yes spacer on rear I'm running 235-75 -15 which is like 28.5 x 9.5 all the way around on stock machine

If you want that tire all around it would be best to have all 4 rims the same as well. Then yes, after all 4 rims are the same you'll need 1 inch spacers on the rear.

Update from this morning.. here in the poconos we have about 4 inches of snow and it's raining so the top and bottom are ice. I plowed it with no trouble at all with the pioneer. 4wd and gas... could use a little weight in the bed to push snow this heavy and wet, but got it done!

The ITP mud tires did NOT perform like this, they did nothing but spin.

Ok, off to work, be safe all!

Good to hear...thanks for the report. What wheels did you use in the rear?

 

[jwfirebird]

had the megas on the rhino i had before, they were good on mud but not snow or ice, lugs too far apart.mud lite 2 or xtr alot better for snow and ice. but if you are just plowing mostly truck tires probly good with some weight in the bed. make them more ply able, less air too

Good deal. So which tires did you end up getting?

I have Kumho road venture M/T tires, the wheels I ended up getting tired of searching so I put back on the MSA M12 wheels in 5+2 I think they are. Everything fits like a glove

 

[Cuoutdoors]

I've been plowing a lot of snow lately and these tires have been awesome!
