Trail and snow plowing tires

Guys, i have my rims figured out… merry christmas to me! Now i am looking at tires. I do a little snow plowing, maybe less than 15 miles for the entire season of plowing, the rest of the time will be spent on the trails (15% rocky and 85% dirt). I have been reading good things about the Bearclaw HTR. Also been hearing good things about the grim reapers… im thinking any one of these tires will work good, unless you think ill be better off with another?

Sedona Mud Rebel RT vs Rip Saw RT vs STI Black Diamond XTR

As the title says I’m debating between the following 3 tires:
Sedona Mud Rebel RT, Sedona Rip Saw RT, & STI Black Diamond XTR

Looking to use them on a 99 Polaris Sportsman 500 mostly used for hunting and possibly for plowing. Live in the App Mountains so the terrain can be a bit rocky, sometimes a bit muddy, riding mostly trails.

Figured I would go with 25x8x12’s on the front and 25x10x12’s on the rear unless people know they run small which I have read the Rip Saw’s do and it sounds like the Mud Rebels may as well (maybe just all Sedona tires do?)

I’ve found all from $350 – $375 per set so price is about the same.

Anybody have any opinions?

Slow leak

So I picked up my Sportsman 2 years ago used with the original Carlisle tires on it. Over the summer the front right tire started losing air slowly while sitting in the garage. About one psi every 1-2 weeks. Prior to this there was no problem. Yes, the tires are in good shape and there are no nails or screws in it. Should I take it off the rim and check the inside of the tire?

I am very confused as I mostly drive mine during the winter for plowing and ice fishing and this started during the summer months,while it just sits. Thanks.

2015 Touring 27″ Tires

Hi Guys,

I have a 2015 570 Touring SP. It came from the dealer with 27" slingshots on it. Guess what, First ride they rubbed. I have read the other threads about tire contact with the passenger foot rest support and the various fixes.

Has anybody used aftermarket wheels with the 4+3 offset vs the stock wheels with the 6+2 offset?

Heres a couple of pics of how close the tire is, not sure how this compares to older models.

Thanks
Lance

Stock wheels, bigger tires

So ive searched and looked all over but cant really find an answer to this.. Ive got a 2014 sportsman 400 with stock wheels and am looking at new tires, probably zillas. My question, if I run a 26X9-12/ 26X11-12 or 27X9-12/ 27X11-12 will I need new wheels to fit these without rubbing anywhere? The fit between the stock tires and spindle already looks really tight
