I have a 2013 RTV900 Worksite with OEM worksite tires and also have a second set of rims that I am looking for a second set of tires for.
I won't be (intentionally) mud bogging but would like a second set of tires with general trail capabilities, including at least light mud.
I am not trying to over think this but when I look at machine specs (machine weight 1929 lbs + 1642 lbs payload = GVWR of 3570 lbs !), the tire choices are not that many.
I know that many of you are using a variety of tires without problem, but when I contacted some tire companies directly and told them about my machine weight specs, some actually did not recommend their brand for my machine based on weight.
Many of the popular tires like GBC Grim Reapers are sufficient for unladen weight of the vehicle, but if you used the full cargo capacity of the RTV, they are supposedly not heavy enough. I am not worried about a risk of high speed tire failure (on an RTV
), but wanted to make sure I made a "wise" choice before spending hard earned money on tires which I hope will last for a while.
I will attempt to attach a small table of the info I have gathered from manufacturer's web sites and emailing company reps. The table has focused on 25X10-12 sizing with a couple of exceptions. The green highlighted sections indicate tires rated at >650 lbs (or 2600 lb vehicle weight).
Is there a maximum tire size the RTV900 can use (without installing a lift kit) that won't run into problems with tire rubbing?

They may have a great product but their response to a potential customer has been less than stellar (again, no affiliation or prior dealings with the company).
