I was looking to upgrade my worn out tires and finally settled for the new ITP SS212 15" rims with BF Goodrich LT235/75R15 AT tires. The 29" diameter tire seemed a good compromise between the smaller 27" and the larger 30" tires leaving me a little more room for wheel travel. Since I have a T-4 model I was concerned with the weight carrying capacity of both the tire and rim. Each of the new ITP rims has a 1000lb rating with the load carrying capacity of the tire well over that. With an occasional load of overweight 50 year olds, myself included, you've got to be careful.

When aired down they just envelope and roll over rocks instead of bouncing over them. In deep sandy or gravel the tire gets on top of the material instead of plowing thru it like the originals. There is hardly any rock throwback into the cab and the best part is if I want to take a short cut home at the end of the day, I just put it up on the road and it runs smoooth on the asphalt.

This has turned out to be a sweet setup for the Arizona desert where I ride and I would highly recommend it.

ROCMOC,

Do your 31X10.50X15 rub at all? What wheels are you running and with what back spacing?

i think the offset is 5x2.Him and Lenny both run the 31's and yes they had to do some mods so they wouldnt rub.

Lenny cut the firewall and weld a new wall. I used a BIG HAMMER! No rub, LOL! You really don't have to cut or beat that much to get enough clearance. I will find the link to the post with all my wheel info.

Rocmoc is right, you don't need much. I did it the way I did because I run 33x12-15 paddles tires on the front. The way I did it, they don't rub either. With 14.5" of travel and the paddles, my fenders had to be a lot higher. I run 33x16 paddles on the rear. Who knows, it might even float with the paddles on.

      I got a utv from lowes it has one tire in the back that is the same size as the front tires so it has 3, 26-9-14 and 1 26-11-24. i want to change the rear tire to the same one as the other.So instead of buying a new rim will a 26-11-24 tire fit on a 26-9-14 rim.

      Thanks for accepting me!
      Haven't got a side by side yet, but have been shopping.   
      Any advice welcome & I am on a limited budget, so haven't decided yet on new or used.

      I just purchased a used 2023 Massimo warrior UTV SxS 1000mx with 600 miles on it. I didn't even get a full day of riding and the driver's side rear axle broke. I'm pretty sure it was already going bad because we would hear a noise once in a while. I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with theirs. Also looking for places to buy accessories.
