When it is time to put new replacement tires on your SXS or UTV, knowing what will fit and which tires has the features you are looking for can be a daunting task.  When we were looking for new tires for our Honda Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe we did a lot of research.  Reading reviews online, reading Facebook forums, and reading manufacturer’s spec about tires took a long time but I feel it was time well spent.  One resource that I leaned on heavily was the “Honda Pioneer 700 Riders” Facebook page (especially Bob!).  If you are not a member of this group on Facebook, CLICK HERE, to check them out…  great group and a wealth of knowledge.

I use our Pioneer primarily for trail riding and hunting.  Typical terrain ranges from sandy roads, muddy (with occasional clay) trails, and climbing over logs and through ditches.  I was looking for a replacement UTV tire that offered three primary advantages…  great ride, traction, and durability.  Well, combining all of the research I did led me directly to the Tusk Terrabite tires.  They have a truck style tread (not overly aggressive) and are an 8-ply radial that lends itself to excellent ride quality and great durability.  Deep treads help prevent punctures when riding in the woods.  These tires look great and offer a great value.

The next thing I set out to determining was what size tires I should get for my Honda Pioneer.  I cannot tell you how many times I Google / asked…  what is the maximum size tire I can put on my Honda Pioneer without a lift kit.  I am not opposed to a lift kit on a SXS or UTV but, for my use, I feel like the stock height of the Honda Pioneer 700-4 is perfect for my use.  Also, some people cannot afford to loose clearance due to parking in a garage or in a toy hauler.  I also was trying to figure out what width I wanted to run.  I quickly figured out 27″ tall tires are perfect for a non-lifted Honda Pioneer 700.  There is no rubbing issue and they look great!  I did consider going with 11″ width front and rear but many complain about difficult steering at low speed on the trail with 11″ wide front tires.  I decided to go with 9″ width in the front and 11″ wide in the rear and am glad I did.  They ride and look great!

Once I determined the size and brand tires I wanted to purchase, I started scouring the internet for the best price.  I found sets of tires for the Honda Pioneer that came with two 27 X 9 – 12 and two 27 X 11 – 12 Tusk Terrabite tires.  Prices were all over the place.  I did find this set slightly cheaper than Amazon on two other sites but their shipping was pretty high.  Amazon offered this set of tires at a great price and offered free shipping.  The free shipping for the Tusk Terrabite tires gave them the edge on the total delivered price.

I spent a ton of time researching which replacement tires to put on my Honda Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe.  I hope that you can benefit from my research and I can tell you that after using the Tusk Terrabite tires on our SXS, we could not be happier.  Again, they offer great looks, ride, and appear very durable!!!   Enjoy!!!
