Rim size question

I’m new to this forum and this may have been addressed before I’m not sure. I have a 2015 1000 2 seat. Most if not my riding is n the desert and I thinking about doing some racing. What is the benefit to 15 inch rims and tires or is there a benefit?

Pavement/Trail Tire Recommendations for XP4 1000

I have a street legal 2015 xp4 1000. I like to cruise paved roads and dirt roads in the evenings, do some pretty tame trails in Oklahoma, and occasionally go to Lake City, CO and do the Alpine Loop. The majority of my miles is casual cruising though of paved roads and don’t abuse my machine and tires. I undoubtedly am burning up the stock bighorns on the pavement, and want something that will hold up better for pavement but still work on easy/moderate trails. What recommendation for tires do you have for me based upon my usage? And I’d prefer use my stock 14′ wheels. Thanks for your help!

30x13x14 skat extremes

Just ordered a complete set. Should ship by Monday.
Anyone running these yet? I have a friend running the 30×11’s 10 paddle and he’s impressed with them. I think I am going to like the 13 wide version. They were available in the 9 paddle extreme so I jumped on them.
Will post pics when they show up.
