Does anybody have the weight of the stock wheels and tires on the p500? Seems like I saw it somewhere but I can't find it? Any chance anyone knows the weight of each? I know.. I'm a dumbass and getting waaaay to technical!!

I agree.. Just curious on the numbers. I'm wondering what the loss is from stock to this or that size. As for what I'm using it for... Everything! My point is if going up a size in height and width cost you 5 hp is it worth it?I simplify it to this: if I need more flotation and have swampy/snowy landscape, I go with 12" wide all over, if no swamps and mostly rocky then 9" wide all over. I prefer 26" because they dont bounce so much on every small hole and roll over obstacles better. The gears in P500 low enough to have good torque on those 26" wheels.
What for are u trying to use P500 where every HP counts?
OH! MY EYES...

I'm going with 26x9x12 all the way around, so I'm with ya on the reward vs cost.. But was curious to see how a 27 inch or an 11 inch wide tire impacted it. I was surprised by the weight difference the extra width or height added. There's 4lbs between 2.0's and originals in a 26x9x12.. Is that actually a significant amount when it's all said and done or is it negligible for the benefits gained. Just trying to find that base line on what the stock wheels and tires weigh to compare to. Plus it could help between which brand tire to choose.Yes, even if I lost 5 hp with going up from 24 to 26" tires, I dont care, I dont feel this lost , but my butt was feeling bumps , comfort in ride means a lot to me. I'm able to do 40 mph or a bit faster with 26" tires and clearance is better.
More +++ then negative with bigger tires. Plus, 2" difference not big enough , but if you would go from 24 to 30" then it will be different story.
Yup.. Just thought it would be handy to have something to correlate the changes to vs hoping for the best. I feel the 26x9x12 will suit me best, but obviously I've been a pain in the ass to get there. Lol. I figured this might help someone in the future with their selection.Sense we're talking about the P5 with a 475, go light.

Thanks man!! That's awesome!Just weighted a front and rear stock tire but no rims. 16# 9oz. for the rear and 13# 8oz. for the front. The tires are substantially new.
Don't forget lug nuts and valve caps.I'm going with 26x9x12 all the way around, so I'm with ya on the reward vs cost.. But was curious to see how a 27 inch or an 11 inch wide tire impacted it.

Well s***.. Now I have to start all over! Stupid valve caps!Don't forget lug nuts and valve caps.
So are you going with the same wheel offset front and back or...
rear track will be narrower than front.
Well s***.. Now I have to start all over! Stupid valve caps!
I think I'm going to do a 5+2 with 26x9x12's all the way around. Unless someone changes my mind. All of that is still contingent upon how the 17 drives though.. But that's my game plan.
