My original plan was 30" intimidators but after seeing so many reviews on here of people losing some power with the diameter of 30s I went with the 28s. Everything currently clears. I feel as tho I have not lost any power with the 28s.

All of my components for the suspension is based on the dealer I purchased my machine from. I bought the extended warranty and was told if I used high lifter components my dealer would take care of my warranty work. I bought from a powersports dealer who is also a high lifter dealer. If I had more courage with the freedom of choice I would have chosen cfab arched forward arms with the lift built in.
Glad to hear no power loss! Those cfab arms are nice! I have those on my what seems to be endless build list!

@SuperATV 28 intimidators on 14" Vision 544 black beadlocks that the rings are painted orange. Matching spare to boot. Best setup ever!

Don't ever wish you went with 30's? I'm on the fence. Can't decide between 28 or 30. And can't decide if I want to keep my stock wheels or not.

If you have stock deluxe rims, tusk has terrabites in 29". You can split the difference with them.
Yea I know. Terrabites ain't quite aggressive enough for me. I've been looking at the Mega bites. I had the blackwaters on my 700 and loved them so I've had my heart set on them. They don't make a 29 though

I like the power of my machine so I will say I have not wished I went with 30s. The 28 vs 30 in my opinion only means 1" of additional ground clearance. If that 1" meant I was getting stuck I would most likely be stuck with 28s or 30s. So in my mind, the 28s guarantee more power down low vs 30s. Therefore 28s should spin up easier than 30s and clean out better.

Also keep in mind 30s weigh more. I am not sure why but the 28s have a higher load rating as well.

Thanks for that input. That will probably sway me towards getting 28's. Your reasoning definitely makes sense cause I've been worried about power loss with the 30" tires. I went through that with my 700 and don't want that issue now.

Those tires you have sure are heavy. The blackwaters are in the low 30's.

They are heavy and another reason I went with 28s. The tread is 2" tall if I remember. Even on asphalt they are the smoothest crazy aggressive tires I have ever rode on. A friend of mine put them on his general first and was bragging about how smooth they were. I didn't believe him. Then I rode with him and was impressed. I drive on black top approximately 3 miles to go into town sometimes.

I also just realized they have gone up crazy in price. I purchased mine black Friday sale in 2020 and paid 184 each :/

That's why I just bought 5 - 28x10x14 Tusk Terrabites mounted on Uintah rims. Seeing prices going as they are and with raw rubber forecast headed up another 20%, I talked my CFO wife into a preemptive strike... and bought them.

I'll post some info somewhere once I have time.

I went with system 3 wheel and tires on my 5 seater. 28x10x14 all the way around. Going to add 1” rb3 spacers in the rear to even the track. Haven’t had any rubbing so far.

How are the terrabites balance wise. I installed the 25in version on p520. The front pssanger looks like it has a slight wobble from being out of round. Did you run into this with any tires. Otherwise love the tires for a great price. Rocky Mountain is working through the tire issue and resolving the problem.

Now that you mention it, I have noticed a possible out of round issue. While riding between 17-20 mph I notice an up and down wobble. I don’t know where to start looking to figure it out and haven’t had the time to. Was gonna check my spacers to see if they are centered. I don’t know .

My p520 only has 54 miles on it. I swapped the stock wheels and tires for itp 12x7 5+2 all around with tusk terrabite 25x8x12 in front and 25x10x12 in the rear. Installed and took for a ride. The front driver appeared to have a wobble and the front passenger was relatively smooth. Got back re torqued checked again. Same issue. I then switched the front tire location moved driver over to passenger side. The wobble moved from driver now to passenger and driver side wheel and tire is now riding fine. To me the issue moved when I changed wheel locations so I think it is either wheel or tire related. Leaning more towards tire.

That’s essentially what I’m doing, what backspacing did you go with?
