Welcome to the forum. I think most are running 15" but a quick search using the search bar above will provide enough info and opinions to make your head spin for days. good luck on your search and post pics of whatever you decide on.

I have been running some Maxxis Buckshot II 27x8.5x14 and have been happy so far. I have a full set of Deluxe 14" front rims all the way around. They have been great as we ride alot of desert roads and then I can jump back on the paved highway to get back home. I have found that I have lost a little ground clearance that my stock tires, but that is my only complaint with them. They were a little stiffer ride as I was running 16 psi, but I moved down to 10 and I like the ride better. The nice thing is I don't think you could ever were them out.

Wanting a high mile tire, I tried the BFG K02 LT tire but they rode considerably harsher than an OHV tire, so when I cut a sidewall (entirely my fault) I went to the BFG KM3 OHV specific tire and it rides noticeably softer with the same tire pressures. A LT tire will generally last a lot longer than an OHV tire. You picks yer poison.

I went with the GBC Parallax because they have an all terrain tread and a 10 ply sidewall with a UTV weight rating. At 10 PSI they look good and drive nice. I'm looking forward to getting them in the dirt. They are a 31x10x15 so they might be a bit big for most but they start at a 29" which would likely fit a stock machine or machine with offset front arms. Shown below are the new 31s vs my old 30s. I was really searching for a lighter tire and these came out to be about 8lbs lighter than my previous setup at 55lbs per corner
keep us posted! I see everyone loves LT tires, but weight is a real thing for some of them
looking at the Forceum MT 08 PLUS Mud Terrain LT27X8.50R14 95Q C Light Truck Tire
haven't figured out weight yet

Interco makes the Sniper 920 which is a UTV rated DOT tire.
When I purchased my 30s I was able to snag them on sale @ around $150 each.

Interco Sniper 920 UTV Tires
The Interco SNIPER ATV/UTV 920 is an 8-ply rated, DOT Marked, light weight radial tire developed for ATV/UTV owner looking for a tire that is designed with their rig in mind, but exhibits the durability of a light truck tire. The Interco SNIPER ATV/UTV 920 incorporates elements from Interco’s...

Superatv arms front and rear with Stage 4 Elkas. The front should be fine with the grill trimmed under the headlights. The rear will likely still rub the rear cage support and under the doors. With 2 guys up front I did alright with 30s. And I'm only a little bigger now. The lighter and softer sidewall 31s seem like a good compromise. Old tires were 30x9.5r14 EFX motovators. New are 31x10.5r15 GBC parallax. I'm pretty much coil bound and into to bumper on the front shocks as shown. In the rear I have about 1/2" before the bumper. I've been alright with the rear rub the las few years. The soft ride with worth a little scrub vs a stiffer spring and taller jounce bumper

St. Nick can go pound salt. St. Paddy rocks - he left me something on the porch.
27x9-14, 27x11-14 Sniper 920's.
Going to be a bit before I get them on my rig, but I'll try to follow up.
Will be swapping the OEM Bighorns for these. Cannot go to a bigger tire w/o chopping the ROPS to get into a low garage.
@Robobrainiac 👍

Super Awesome!
My projects always take forever. I just pulled my SuperATV Intimidators off yesterday and painted my bead lock rings today.
