P1000 Tire Question

[JB1000]

What is the biggest tire and wheel that you can put on without a lift? I want to upgrade to a 14 inch rim and and 28 inch tire. Will I have enough clearance. Thanks John

Yes sir, I ran 28's for about a year without any lift.

Is 28 the max without a lift?

View media item 3181View media item 3189I went from 14” stock to 12” after market, my ride quality is so much better with 12” rims with 28” tire. I install Tercher Altas 28”x12” and what difference in ride, tall rims are for high speed handling , not off road. I’m so glad I when down to 12”. Everyone that rides with me can tell a big difference

I mainly do all off-roading do you think its better to go with a 12 rim and 28 inch tire or 14 inch rim and 28 inch tire. Thanks John

If you are planning on adding SATV a-arms note that they will rub a 12” rim a 14” will clear them unless that are dual beadlocks and they just barely run at full lock compressed.

i have to mention, i am running stock A-arms with 12”x28” tires with 2” highlift kit, i have plenty of room with no rubbing. no plan on swapping out A-arms

If I stay with the 12 inch rim and bump up to the 28 inch tire do I need to add a lift. Thanks John

in a few post i have read that 28” fit without lift. stick with 9” front and 11” rear. my buddy has 10” all fours, i hook up better than him, with 12” bead locks i can drop psi and where as my buddy spins until he’s sitting on his skid plate

Hey guys I'm new to club not sure how it works but been reading the problem I'm having is finding a 27" tire and 12" rim that can handle loads of p1

12" diameter Tusk Terrabite I believe are 27"
I run the 9in in front and 11's in back. I think there a pretty good 8 ply tire, but they don't fair well against mud IMHO.

Thanks for responding not sure how to respond reply or start a conversation this is first time been a member of club seems like it will be great once I figure it out I have a p1 eps orange 2016 just got clutch upgrade and cabin heat trying to get good tires without getting new rims most of my riding is dirt road and pavement some mud looking for a 8 ply tire like the Rocktains Xd but they only come in 14”rim size

 

[Wvbrian]

Nice looking buggy looks just like mine just different color tires look like they would be smooth on pavement not sure how to send pics

im running 9”x28”-12” and 11”x28-12” on 12”x8” bead locker. At 12 psi im a tad over 28” (teracher altas) they have been great tires and already noticed improved traction in mud. tire flotation is much better than OEM and most light truck 15” DOT radials. Im telling you, 12” is the way to go. im running 12”x8” (4/4 offset) or 0 offset, wheels and tires fit without rubbing. i did install 2” lightlift to get skid plate off the deck. 12” fat tires to me are the way to go. i whent from 14” stock to 12” and i noticed a softer, more controlled ride, hooked up much better in turns, not so loose. i have ridden in a few utv with 15” rims, felt like i was in my old one ton dually, i remembered why i got ride of it.
