two points my dear buddy elmo. one, i am broke and cant afford to buy 14" tires. two, my understanding is that the smaller side wall on 12" tires are more punture resistant.

Hate to bust your bubble, but with a 14" wheel, you have less sidewall on the same diameter tire... but I know all about the broke part.. LOL

There is more sidewall on a 12" tire and I have seen at least twice as many side wall holes in 14" tires compared to 12". Not sure exactly why but THATS THE TRUTH

ok well, what ever, jack and i were talking and he said, pull the triger jet, get em.

You listen to him way to much, and sometimes I bet he gives you bad advice... now on the other hand Evan doesn't have that problem... He told me to get the roof, radio and A-arm guards from EMP, ... he also had some input in the springs. So you see not all advice given is the best advice... From Jack that is.

Now how can that happen.... everyone keeps backing out on rides..... Elmo15 and I are starting to get a complex, no one wants to ride.... going anyway, guide or not, mark it on GPS and go, will find way back at some time...

guilty as charged !

I had the ITP beadlocks on my Rhino. Loved Them!! I could run 6 psi and never loose a bead. I had a heck of a time before the beadlocks (Had SS112's).

IMO Beadlocks are a requirement is you are rough on a SxS...

Good choice going with the 12s. 12s have less sidewall issues than 14s because the sidewall is taller and can give a little more when they hit something. The sidewall can absorb the rock, tree root, etc, and keep on going. 14s don't give as much, so you either get a hole, or just get shoved over when they hit something. 12s will ride better with all other things being equall, but those 14s sure do take the turns good and look way better.

I found out air presure has a lot do do with it....I run 13lbs in the rear and 9lbs in the front...

I have had better luck with 14" than I had with 12" tires.I said I was going back to 12" but since I have had less sidewall holes with 14" I'm sticking with 14's
