LT tires are the way to go. You can also mount them on your deluxe wheels if you like. Ive had LT tires for the last 3-1/2 yrs. the ware is excellent , cost is much cheaper, ride better on pavement and can be much quieter depending on witch ine you choose. No need to buy an expencive name brand like Michelin or BF dor that machine. Most any AT or MT style will e fine, were not traveling down highways for 25-30k miles lol. As for weight, yes there a bit heavier than OEM and ive seen a slight slow down but nothing that has effected my road or my hard trail riding. People think too much into that imo. @BWAF has had a set as long as i have and has been happy as well. Again just an opinion.

Look up the tusk terrabite tires from Rockymountainatvmc there similar to a lt tire. Come in oem sizes or larger. Dot rated and are pretty affordable. Also lighter than the comparable bfg muds. I put about 400 miles on mine this week. Work great.

I looked at the Tusk Terrabite tire. The sizes I need are available.

The tread looks fairly aggressive. How noisy are they on pavement? Do they howl and drum on blacktop?

There gona howl!

Thanks Remington. If I buy tires I'd like to reduce the in-cab noise.

UPS is expected to deliver the Deluxe take-off wheels today. The wheels should have a new set of oem tires that I've been told will howl and drum even louder than the tires on my 12" wheels.

Tensor regulators have worked well for me. I bought a used set from a member and have put a few thousand miles on them. They're still working great. They suck in mud and what snow I've tried them in. The tread pattern resembles the lt tires and they are quiet on the road and dot approved. I've had great luck buying used on fb with the last several couple sets.

The tread pattern looks like it would be less noisy than most and the list of product features claims the tire is quieter.

They've been good to us. I haul all kinds of crap and tow the back half of an s-10 pickup as a yard cart. They handled the weight well and have been an excellent all terrain tire for us. At home my use is primarily on blacktop back and forth to another property. In comparison I wore the stock 27x12" black stones off it in about 500 miles.

In comparison to the stock bighorns they are way quieter on the street / blacktop. In comparison to say a Michelin street tire of course there noisier. It’s similar to a bfg mud terrain. Or any other major mud tread probably. Mine is mainly for trail use so not a big concern.

I’m gonna throw in another recommendation for LT tires. I asked all the same questions and debated and debated and went back and forth for months. Finally said “screw it” and ordered a set of 4 Maxxis Buckshot Mudders when they went on sale. My only regret is I didn’t order them sooner. I don’t ride as much blacktop as it seems you do, but I ride a decent amount to get to trails and dirt roads around me. When I first put them on I couldn’t believe the difference. It was actually quieter than my truck (it has BFG Mud Terrains). I thought I’d lose a little traction but I have went through some stuff that made me an even bigger believer in these LT tires. As for the power loss...if it did lose any, I didn’t notice it. I don’t drive hard anyway but I do put it to work hauling things around, pulling fairly steep hills, and it still gets up the road pretty quick when I press the pedal. I lost a little bit of braking performance but not enough to gripe about. On top of that, you’ll be hard pressed to ever wear them out on something as light as these machines. Just my 2 cents.

I've seen these tires mentioned several times here in the forum.

I wish we had a simple way to measure sound level in a Pioneer or Talon at a certain road speed so we could compare actual readings.

UPS delivered by take-off Pioneer Deluxe wheels and tires this afternoon. The tires still had the tiny mold nipples on the treads so Honda of Russellville must have removed them and installed aftermarket wheels and larger tires as soon as their Pioneers were unloaded.

I installed them and took a about a ten mile ride around the neighborhood. It's too early to say how the noise level compares with my oem 12" wheels and tires but the ride is definitely smoother. I don't know yet if that's due to the tread design or better balance of each tire and wheel.

I was wearing cheap Walmart hearing protector ear muffs so the ride was quiet.

The information, suggestions, and photos provided by many of you was extremely helpful. When I posted this thread I knew essentially nothing about the wheel and tire options available and I'm grateful to each of you.

For now I'm going to use the Maxxis tires mounted on the 14" wheels. I have several ideas now about the tires I'll purchase for the 14" wheels in the future.

Can you give details on your setup? Looks like you have the stock a-arms. Once my stock tires wear out I will probably go with LT tires because we do more road riding than anything. I don’t want to go as far as changing a-arms, etc. but understand I may need spacers with some setups. Just trying to figure out exactly what I’d need to have to move up to 28” tires as far as wheel offset, spacers etc. front and back to run the same tires all around with no rub problems.
And as a side question, what skid plate do you have?

I wonder how the phone apps would work. I know we have some fancy meters at work and the “db meter” app is within 2-3 decibels.

Sorry, I've never owned one. Perhaps someone who knows will comment.

I do have SATV arms and spacers for my 30's. you can do 28's LT with stock arms, i would suggest spacers so u don't rub. @RB3offroad has nice spacers set for you. Ive run there stuff for the last 5 yrs.
I have Rival skid plates. they are aluminum, Have had them the last 5 years as will. They have takin a beating and still holding up. they also curve up the side a bit and heat the frame. There also ridged enough that they study up the whole undercarrege frame as well. they also come with arm guards.

Thanks for the reply. I had looked at the RB3 spacers and was probably going to go with them. It probably won’t be until next year so not in a big hurry. I’ve been looking at the Rival skid plate too and trying to decide which one to go with. I’m leaning toward the Rival right now.

Any idea what the load rating is for these? I have been looking at them, cant find any info about it. It seems every tire I seem to like has a really low rating.
