Waiting on my p520 and wanting a great all-around tire and I think it is narrowed down to the ITP Blackwaters or the Interco 920s In 26/9/12 26/11/12 and thinking of staying with 12in rims for sidewall flex and thinking of 5x2 offset wheels to add some stability Has anyone had any experience with either of these tires? Thanks for any input. After posting this I found out that the 920s don't come in 26inch so is there that much difference in sidewall flex In 27s compared to 26s?

1 st. WELCOME From Central N.Y.
RED was the 1st. Color all OTHER COLORS FOLLOWED & HONDA hopes they sell.

Tires
For better ride consider
1 - Radials
2 - 6ply or 8ply
3 - 12in wheels
4 - 26's or 27's -- best suit the P5 series Honda's

WHEELS
Go up & go out = Stability & NEED of MUD GURRDS
5x2 or 4x3 x12 -- better suit the P5 series Honda's ( Some prefer OEM offset wheels & spacers to accomplish wider. )


Type of terrain is major factor <> PickingTread Design ( Mud, Sand, Rock, Gravel ect.)
A couple more good all Around tires to look at
ITP -- XTR's

Greetings and welcome.
I am running 9x26-12 Blackhawk Evo's on STI Beadlocks (5+2) on all four corners and I like the overall performance of the Evo's and the fact it is an 8-ply radial tire. Decided to go same size all around to be able to rotate if needed. I don't carry a spare tire and hope if needed with the stiffer sidewall and 8-ply I could limp back, I do carry plugs, patch kit and 12VDC compressor if needed.
Pictures are from March 2018 when I got the Evo's.
