More Details on Our Top Picks
SunF Power.I ATV/UTV 25×8-12 front and 25×10-12 rear (set of 4)
A 25-inch set for mid-size UTVs. The XP 1000 stock tires are about 27 inches tall, so this set is 2 inches shorter, changes gearing and ground clearance, and is not a stock-size match.- Tire Size:25×8-12 / 25×10-12
- Rim Size:12 inches
- Pack:Set of 4
- Fit:Smaller than stock
Pros
- Full set in one order

Polaris 5419048 front tire 26x9R12 (single)

Limitations

Pros
- Aggressive tread for soft terrain
Limitations
- Large size change vs stock
- Needs 15-inch wheels

Pros

Stock size and fit
- Stock tires: 27 inches tall, 9 inches wide front and 11 inches wide rear (EverythingPolarisRanger buyer’s guide).
- Wheels: 12×4 per that guide, with a 4/156 bolt pattern. Some trims use 14-inch wheels; check yours.

Confirm your size in your owner’s manual.
Fit checklist
- Match front and rear widths: front 9 inches, rear 11 inches on stock setups.

- Single tires are one tire, not a set.
FAQ
What size are Polaris Ranger 1000 XP stock tires?
About 27 inches tall: 27×9 at the front and 27×11 at the rear, on 12-inch wheels on most models. Check your manual.
Can I run bigger tires on a Ranger 1000?
Often yes with wheels, a lift or clearance work, but the change affects gearing, ground clearance and drivetrain wear.
Are 25-inch tires OK on an XP 1000?
They are a mid-size UTV size. They are smaller than stock and change gearing and clearance.
What does ply rating mean?
Higher ply ratings mean tougher sidewalls and better puncture resistance but a heavier, firmer tire.
Do I need new wheels for 14-inch tires?
Yes. 14-inch tires need 14-inch wheels, with matching bolt pattern and offset.
How often should I check UTV tire pressure?
Before each ride. Use the pressure printed in your owner’s manual, since UTV pressures are low and vary by model.
Which one to choose
For a stock-size replacement, the SunF A043 and Tusk Terrabite 27×9 and 27×11 sets are the matches. Choose Terrabite for medium to hard terrain. The other listings are smaller, oversize or sold as single tires or wheel packages, so only buy them if you plan the needed changes.
