Has anybody changed the Stock Tires out on a 2020 1000-5 with a light duty truck tire on the stock rims, and what was tallest tire you were able to but on with the stock suspension.
Thanks

Your stock rims are 14" most truck tires are 15" and larger , Im not sure if anyone makes a 14''truck tire. Maybe some one else will know for sure on that. If they do make them I might try them to.

I'm going to follow this thread because this is what I have been thinking about doing. There are a couple of light truck tires made by general and maxis that are 27x8.5r14. From what I remember I believe the biggest tire size without having an issue are 28". Hope to hear someone's reviews.

I'd consider a set of DOT UTV tires. They are designed with a lower load rating and lower tire pressure. You'll get similar wear and better ride quality and traction.

There have been a few recent threads on this subject. Just search "285x75x15" or truck tires or lt tires and you will find a lot of info. I upgraded to 235/75/15 LT truck tires this spring and I am happy with them. To summarize: Super quiet on the roads, less traction in serious mud, about 1.5-2" taller than stock, have to run lower pressure due to stiffer sidewall (i'm at 9 psi).
