The stock tires aren't going to hold up on the road, hard pack, and rock that we'll be riding in Utah. Most importantly, I need a hardback tire that will also work well in the snow as I use the machine to plow at 7,000ft; a lot of snow! What do you guys recommend for tires? Will the BFGs or Cooper truck tires work in the snow and on the trail too? Do they have enough side wall protection and such or should I do something like the Tusk Aramid Terrabite 10 ply?
And what about size, stock is 30", if I go to a 32", would my turning radius increase? Sounds like an odd question, but I plow in very tight spaces and before I purchased the machine, I actually tested to be sure I can make the necessary turns when plowing without having to stop and back up. The 32" tires look cool but I dont want to screw up the turning radius. On my former machine, I changed the A-arms , wheels, and tires, and the result made the turning radius horrible,. I'm positive most of it, if not all, was probably do to the a-arms but dont want to make the same mistake just to look better.
