What size 589's did you put on your P650? Did you put on a lift kit?

Thanks!!

I went with the same exact stock sizes.

25x10x12's for the rears
25x8x12's for the front

I think those are the right specs, i been drinkin a little tonight, hehe

Anyway they are the same size as the stock tires/rims. I wanted to keep the same performance, speed, acell, etc. and not throw the speedo off. Alls i can say is I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy with these tires/rims. They are unbeleivable. I went through stuff in 2wd that would require 4 wheel low with the stock tires. They are also awesome on hardpack and other terrain, but in sand they are terrible. When in sand they push the fronts through and just don't work. They are to agressive and dig fast. Lukily i do barely any sand riding. If ya got cash, buy the same tires I got and bee amazed. Get them in 26's though cuze even though i got the same sizes as stock they are smaller. I lost 1/2 inch of ground clearance. I really seen no performance degrade either. I hit 64mph and acell seemed the same. they are 40 pounds over stock tire/rim weight and now i got an extra set of tires and rims incase i get flats. Hope i answered you r Q's

Thanks Lackdog. I am going to spring for new tires soon. I am going to go with the 26's, but keep the stock rims. I do alot of trail/mud riding, so they should be a perfect fit, especially when hunting season rolls around, and I am up in that muddy East Texas Muck.
