What do the stock wheels weigh?
I didn't have a scale to weigh it.What do the stock wheels weigh?
I think big pine did a video on this. They said stock wheel and tire combo is 55 pounds.What do the stock wheels weigh?
NoQuestion for y’all. I’m getting ready to buy new tires. Will a 12.5” wide tire be ok?
Interested in this topic as I intend to buy a KRX in a couple months and have been tire shopping. Although a 10" or 10.5" wide tire would probably be better.... but there are a lot of 33x12.50 and 35x12.50 LT tires out there. And not as many 33x10.5 or 35x10.5. Maybe turn your wheel lock to lock and get some measurements? Check to see if some additional tire width would make contact with any suspension components. What tires are you looking at?Question for y’all. I’m getting ready to buy new tires. Will a 12.5” wide tire be ok?
I’m looking at BFG K02 or the KM3. 33x12.5x15. The factory wheel is a 8” wide. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work apart from maybe having rubbing issues. It is unlikely though.Interested in this topic as I intend to buy a KRX in a couple months and have been tire shopping.

Not much difference in weight though.12.5 is a pretty big jump and will put extra stresses and loads on suspension steering system.
Check out SlickRock Productions. They have some strong arguments against this.Interested in this topic as I intend to buy a KRX in a couple months and have been tire shopping.

Exactly what Rocky said and the bead on an LT tire is thicker than the bead on a purpose built utv tire. Lt tires are built for high pai and speed/weight. Not low pressure and flexing around rocks etc. Plus a 12”wide tire would gain you nothing in the conditions we put these machines through. Sure you could probably make it “fit”, but why? There’s no good reason.Why?
Ultimately I would say price. Being in the automotive industry I can get tires at cost. A 33x12.50 is cheaper than a 31x10.5. BFG K02. So in my situation I can get a bigger tire for cheaper. With the benefits of longer tread life. I may be the first to try out LT tires. Because why not right? Lol. If I encounter a catastrophic failure I can’t say I wasn’t warned.Exactly what Rocky said and the bead on an LT tire is thicker than the bead on a purpose built utv tire.
