Polaris Ranger 1000 28" Tires and Wheels Upgrade (NO Lift) | Useful Knowledge

[@wg5768]

What's the weight difference between stock and new wheels and tires? Added weight puts more strain on your drive train. That concerns me most.

[@useful.knowledge]

Hi. My driving is down dirt roads that are very muddy in the winter and down into deep hollows in the woods. I’ve had it loaded with at least 800 pounds of seed and corn over the past year and I haven’t noticed a drop in performance. Because of how I use the machine, it’s rarely in high gear. I think the power and low end torque of the 1000 overcomes the extra height and weight of the tires. I’ll try to get a weight of tires/wheel but I don’t think it’s more that maybe 15-20 pounds each over stock. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in that size, I have had them on for about a year and love them.

Hey it’s another year today since I put these tires on. No breakdowns and the machine is still a beast.

I have the crew model and am curious on how the machine performed power wise? Also, do you have an idea how much the new wheel/tire setup weighs?

Im about to put the same size on my 2023 ranger crew.

Hi. I really like that size tire. I was just riding my machine on Saturday.

[@ryanbilger517]

Did you adjust the toe at all on the front after the this setup?

[@useful.knowledge]

Hi. I didn’t have to do anything. I just swapped out the wheels and tires. I was just riding it yesterday. I love the setup.

" _The 28" tire upgrade added one inch of ground clearance over the factory tire._ " I doubt that. What size tires did you get from the factory? I have the same machine - all stock - still have the factory tires

[@useful.knowledge]

Doubt what? The ground clearance? I had 26” from the factory. I measured the clearance gained. It was an inch.

[@zippitydoodah5693]

@@useful.knowledge You had 26" tires from the factory? That is what I doubt. Polaris Ranger 1000's came with _minimum_ 27" tires on the 14's and maximum 27's on 12's. I'll ask the boys in the shop today if they have ever assembled a brand new 1000 with 26's. I may learn something new today. Either way, nice mod. Looks good. Good stance. Peace.

[@useful.knowledge]

You may be thinking about the 1000XP. I didn’t get the XP because I use it for hunting. I just checked the specs on a 2021 1000 Premium and the fronts are 26x9-12; backs are 26x11-12. Now it could have been a pandemic thing with that year model. The stance with the 28’s is awesome and everything has been fine with no rubbing.

@@useful.knowledge good to know. I appreciate your sharing.

What did you do with your stock rims

[@useful.knowledge]

Hi. I traded them to a farmer friend of mine for 40 bags of corn.

[@johngrijalva1425]

Cool

[@johngrijalva1425]

I wanted to buy 2 rims for my Polaris 2023 they want $575 for two rims front rims

Hello, Are you interested in testing products? We would like to invite you to test the tinted rear windshield for your Polaris Ranger 1000

[@mattswift2394]

What offset are the wheels?

[@useful.knowledge]

Hi. I check with my friend that works at the tire shop. They 14x7 offset 3. They do not come so far outside the wheel well that mud is flying on you.
