Lol that was a good one

This is really an awesome thing you did. I love my pioneer but the talon is so much more fun to drive!

Arched a arms, fox shocks, and 30” terabytes are an awesome combo.

That is a good looking pioneer you have. I have the a arms already. Shocks and tires are next. I have been looking at the terrabites. I ride some on the road. Are they really noisy on the road? I hate the tires that are on mine now.

They make no noise on the street. At least coming from the factory bighorns. We can now have a conversation while riding on the street. I ride very little on pavement myself but a 2-3 mile trip used to be unbearable even with ear plugs.

I know quite a few people with them who love them. Including a few John Deere owners who ride almost exclusively on pavement and gravel railroad grades.

I put 1600 miles on the factory bighorns. The only thing I didn’t like was how loud they were on the road.

We’ve had Terrabites on a P700 & now P1k. Very quiet compared to OEM. I really like the tires as I feel they are a good, low cost compromise for all type of terrain. Quiet on the road but still capable enough on the trail/mud. Most of what we hear now is gear noise. I’ll try to take a video clip today if I can remember.

PureOffroad ATV Tires, ATV Wheels & UTV Parts & Accessories has about the best prices I could find and they show up within a couple days to my house. Pretty certain they’re drop shipped since I’m across the country from the seller. Been really happy with their service both times.

Oh, and nice work on the engine swap!

Thank you for the info and the compliment

I just ordered a Honda Pioneer 1000-6 from my dealer and it’s coming from the factory with the Talon engine already in it. You can buy it that way with the Talon engine as an option. HaHa just kidding but it would be great to be able to order one like that. I mean you have different options when buying a new truck why not have the option on a Honda Pioneer with the Talon engine.

If u want a quieter noise on the road and save over $100 a tire for other things, get u a LT/AT or LT/MT tire. Search it up top for options. UTV tires are notoriously loud on pavement and a softer compound that cause faster ware on pavement. I switched to an LT/MT tire 4yrs ago, use them on pavement to swamp and the noise and ware is unprecedented compared to my big horns, carnivores and Moto Claws that I had prior that just wore out I’ve surpassed all of their lifetimes. This might not be for you, but you asked and that’s my take.

X2. I've got lt tires on the talon. They work great and show little wear from the 2k+ miles ive put on them.

I am 20 minutes away from ashland

Next time we plan a trip I’ll ping you to see if you want to go. @Plowboy1466 plans trips down to Hatfield all the time.

Or just a good old road ride like last fall.

So, a diesel gearhead that doesn't document things or take pic's? Sounds like a brother from another mother!
In all seriousness, if you want to try the Terrabites out before you buy them, I'll bring mine down to put on your buggy (mainly because I wanna take it for a spin)!!

Sorry for the long delay. Haven’t been able to be online in a while. Anyhow, I did take a video of the tires for you.

The sound in the video is deceiving. Most of the noise heard is gear and engine. The tires are pretty much not noticeable with the other stuff going on.
