I had the Dirt Commanders on my RZR 900s which I just sold and really liked those tires. I will run the stock tire until they need replaced and then maybe go a little bigger for better ground clearance. But I would probably stick with the Dirt Commanders if I can get them in a bigger size
Actually thought the Deluxe version would get it's own set of tires as it is the top trim. A set of Dirt Commander as stock is fine and I don't really see a need for a new set of tires until it wears out or if you decide to tide the General into some deep mud. Think there's special tires for that situation.
Was actually looking at a set of Kenda Bear Claw Radial Tire (8 Ply) and it's supposed to be self cleaning. But that's only if I get the base model. Dirt Commanders are great as stock tires in the other 2 models so I don't see a need to change them out.
People will undoubtedly change tires and wheels to be unique or to serve a specific purpose but overall I think the dirt commanders are a good tire for all around use. Personally, I would plan for a 2-3" lift and 29-30" tires, mostly just for the look.
What is the clearance in the wheel well like and what about the ride height? I'm guessing that it should be around 13 1/12" now. I was looking to get some 29" Bighorns and maybe a set of bead locks. I was also looking to get a 2"-3" lift when Racertech comes out with one ,but take some of the shock preload out to soften the ride and have at least 14" of clearance.
Dealer put on some Pro Armor Crawler XG's 30-10-14's
on MSA F2 wheels they had mounted up for another project to check the fit for my new General. The 30's seem to have plenty of clearance. I am not sold on the XG's completely and am researching tire and wheels I want to go with before I pick it up this week. Anyone seen or tried a set of Tensor Regulators or Motohammers on for fit yet? Curious if the possible wider stance of the Tensor will be a problem up front or if the stance is similar to the XG's pictured.
Think we'll try 30x10x14 don't think I will go 15" right now., probably going to be installing some on for fit Fri at the Dealership if they come in....
Hopefully if I like the setup I can get it home this weekend now.
Think I am going with the MSA M26 Vibe Dark Tint wheels, I really want the M21 Beadlocks but can't justify the cost for the use I will do.
Not bad wheel/tire fitment at all, seems like even with suspension movement you'll still be in the clear, plus they look great, can't beat that beefed up look it gives the general.
Im a big fan of same size tires all the way around - makes rotating real nice and seriously prolongs tire life. I had 28X10X14 on my Commanders and they were perfect.
The stock tires I think are fine but if/when I get a General ill be doing the same as I did on the Commander.
On my Commanders I run 9 psi in the rear and 8 psi front. That was adjusted at 10,000 feet where we ride. Gave it a great ride but not too soft. MOTO MTC tires on MSA M20 CORE Wheels.
Have you had any clearance issues with them tires, and did you have to lift it any??
I have a 2016 Polaris General and want to put bigger tires but im not sure they will fit
Ordered 29" dirt commanders. The dealer didn't show a listing for an 11 only for a 9, so he ordered all 4 in 9". I showed him the part number from their website and he can order it from his supplier. The parts guy thinks I should keep them all at 9 so I can rotate them and get more life out of them. Wondering what the benefits and drawbacks are in doing that?
You know, I've had a set of Pitbull Rockers, 27.5" tall, on my RZR 800 with a hot rod drive train, for the last four riding seasons and they still have more than half the tread block depth on 'em.
I've got a little over 1500 miles on my 2016 General Deluxe with the 14" Dirt Commanders...and you know...I think these tires are already half gone!
So when they're gone...I'm going to the new Pitbull Growler that's 8PR and DOT approved!
Welcome Conway.
You will be fine.
Just drive in low range when less than 20 mph and it will work great.
