P700 Tire wear

[Booey424]

I have just under 1000 miles on my 700-4 deluxe. The front tires already need replaced. Especially the passenger side. It’s almost bald alreadY

I ride mostly on pavement or gravel roads. Not too much mudding. I’m looking for a front tires that will last longer. Are radial tires better?

Also the tires are 25x8x12.Can I get tires a little bigger with the stock rims?

I am running "Tusk Terrabites" from Rocky Mountain and they are great tires for your application. Mine are 27/9/12 on stock wheels, I highly recommend them as a All Terrain tire!

Did you get bigger tires for the rear when you upsized the front tires

 

[JimmyA]

27/9/12 all around!

I am in a similar situation. Do alot of rough asphalt road driving with sandy trails. Stock ones are wearing down very fast! Will these tires do well in the sand also? Are you happy with the same size tires on all 4 corners?

I am very happy running the same on all 4 corners! I haven't ran in any sand here.

Double check your toe in. A lot of the P1K's were towed out from the factory and that will cause excessive front tire wear.

Terra-ble (sorry!).

I concur! They are a A/T.. Not M/T

So now looking at the GBC kanati mongrel for a radial with good tread wear and mud capabilities. Any thoughts?

Just to be clear, I have no ideal how they do in mud. I was just doing a smartass wordplay on the name. Most of that type of tire with closely spaced tread blocks probably won't be real impressive in mud.

How about Bighorns a very good do it all with a smooth ride. Pretty fair in all conditions.

I put 28 inch Bighorns on mine and they work great for me.

Regular Bighorns or Bighorn 2.0?

Mine are Bighorn 2.0, 9's and 11's.

 

[DG Rider]

If mud is a concern with Big Horns, I think the 2.0 is the way to go. They are a little more open.

 

[Backwoods]

Bighorns do pretty decent in muddy conditions and the ride quality is very good I am going back to them very soon. My mud tires are good but with a little wear the ride is annoying. I have had them before they are going to be a welcome change.

I have a p700-4 with 2" super atv lift. Getting into Blackwater Evo radials on stock rims. Can I run 28×10×12 all around or 28x9x12 around?

They should only come in 10 wide on 28s . You can but you might want to put a 1inch spacer on all 4 to widen for stability.
