i was wondering if anyone has tried or heard of, putting truck tires on rtv?/ super swampers has a 27x9.50x14 that i think would give me good wear, and still be ok in mud.I am a aqua farmer and pull a trailer to and from the dock,,about 1/2 mile on asphalt. dont want to tear up my 589s during off season. How about the trailer rims that they sell at northern tool 14" 5 lug 4.5" bolt pattern. if i can get a hold of a spare set of 14" rims, i may just try this, these truck tires are rated at 1400 lbs. each. Still thinking.....Hammer

i run my hpx down the road everyday sometimes 3 and 4 times a day and i pull a load and haul a load of sometimes.at the least 400lbs and at the most 1000lbs to 1200lbs mabe more and my 589's have very little wear. my road trip is about a mile one way so your lookin at 2 miles round trip times 3 thats about 6 miles maybe more. trust me them 589's wear like iron. unless you try to hang curves and do donuts and stuff you should be ok i run half throttle and i don't turn fast i slowdown when i turn infact i pretty much am creeping when i turn .
thats good news,, Id hate to put on some krappy looking tires just to be able to haul to the dock.. i to dont push the speed limit of the machine.. maybe half throttle.. think ill just run them and see how they wear. ill post another in a couple of weeks and let you know how their doing. this is my slow time of year, more hunting than working..just the way i like it!! thanks for the info..
