Undecided

Has anyone tried putting the factory rear rims and tires on the front, wondering about clearance issues, handling, etc. I am buying either 32-10.5 R15 or 32-11 R15 to put on all 4 corners on the factory 15x7 rims. Tia

I see no reason why they would not fit. There're photos posted by a dealer of 35 X 11 BFG KM3's mounted on the stock rims with no issues. If they clear there should be no reason why 32's wouldn't

Thanks for the reply. Kinda amazed those 35's fit and don't rub anything. I can't go that tall with my enclosed trailer. Anyhow, wondering what pressure you recommend running these types of tires at, since they are basically truck tires vs. UTV tires. I've decided to go with the cooper discovery sst pro m/t's. I've had very good luck with coopers on my truck, so figured I'd stick with them vs. the BFG's. The shop ordered both sizes, and I'll make a decision Friday as to what to put on.

I agree, I just would not feel comfortable with 35's without some modifications, besides I think the XD looks correct with 32's. Without bead locks I feel safe running a UTV tire as low as 15 psi, right now I'm running BFG KM3's at 20 psi. As far as truck tires go, I'm not sure, I would think you could easily run them at 25 psi maybe lower. Maybe the shop putting them on could give you better advise. Make sure to post pics when you get them installed!

Yeah I'll ask them as well. The km3's and coopers are both considered truck tires. Since they are considered that I figured I would go by whatever recommendation is on the side wall of the tire, perhaps a little less for comfort, but I also don't want to loose handle abilities on pavement by having too low of pressure. Not that I plan to drive it like a sports car around corners but you know what I mean . Right on, on the pictures, they will be installed Friday morning after I pick up the machine from finally getting the stereo upgrade kit installed.

I would like to hear a report on the stereo upgrade if you could.

It definitely helps, and gives it a more full sound throughout the cab. Because there is nothing else out there for these it has to happen. Downside is the only adjustments available are on the factory equalizer, meaning you can't adjust the gain or frequency on the amplifier. Could it be better, sure, but it's the best you can get.
