Howdy boys and gals, I just spent several hours combing thru the forum, looking for different tire/rim size combos for a stock P1000/5 Deluxe setup, and I don't know if it is the lack of sleep, the drinking (slightly because I am at work running some machines while I gave all my employees the day off), or the fact that it's the 4th of July, but I am finding an absurd amount of info, but mainly for lifted machines with different A-Arms. I've been out of the "aftermarket" building game for a while, since I gave up my 700XX which I did a metric but ton to, and never changed anything else out besides on my race 450's, but that was easy as I been doing that for a while. Seeing this is my first SXS, I've been pondering this good ol' website here trying to find info.
I have the deluxe one, and over the winter sliced one of the big horns pretty bad, to the point where I had 9 plugs in it, haha, and the fiancé just went and bought me a new one to replace it. Well riding some yesterday and tear open another one and got 3 plugs in it. So now I decided it's finally time for some new tires. I do some moderate riding, mainly trails, go to WV once a year riding, so looking more for a tire to handle everyday scenarios. On my outlander 1000, I had the Interco Radial Reptile, which were awesome in the mud, but considering my outlander blew the rear differential twice in the first 7 hours of riding it, I babied the hell out of the machine for 1500 miles always afraid it'd blow. Which is why I went back to Honda. Now those tires weren't bad, wore pretty quick though because of the soft rubber, but they did go thru some nasty crap. On my fiancés Rancher, she put the Sedona RipSaws on, which are amazing for her, she loves them, goes anywhere she wants, and they haven't shown a single sign of wear. I was thinking of those or the Sedona Rock-A-Billy, but no idea how they'd handle or hold up given all of the weight of the P1K5.
Any inputs on different tires? I used to be all into mudding and getting dirty, now I'm more into sight seeing and having the longevity of my machine run forever, which is why I bought another HONDA. Now how about the max tiresize you can go with a stock setup? I was looking at the fox shocks for it (they frigging came out with the LE model 1 week after I bought this), but I wasn't really looking to lift it or anything. Just more of a ride quality with the shocks, as I do a lot of work around the homestead with it.
So max tire size/width for stock suspension/a-arms (are the 14" wheels the same size both front and back on the deluxe models? Or is the front wheel slightly skinner like on the quads?) I was looking to go up a size or two just for a little more clearance and for the sex appeal of it.
I appreciate any and all help, and if you guys are near upstate NY (Binghamton area), I'll buy you a beer or two for your patience.
Thanks,
Chuck
