tire size and fitment
i just got them mounted but didn't get out on trails. i had to flip tie rods on my sportsman to get front tires on as i used my stock rims .but now its all good no rubbing with 26x9 fronts and 26x10 rears on 6 inch and 8 inch wide rims.
these arent 26 tall and they fall 1/8-1/4 shy of their labelled width and height after my 760lb sportsman sits on them @3psi. so far i just drove it around on pavement/ dirt shoulder for a bit to be sure alignment was good.
first impressions
was actually shocked at how much better it handled. these tires steer twice as easy as stock carlisle act tires, and ATV turns noticeably sharper at low speeds, rolls smooth on pavement, again better than stock.
ride is firmer on sedonas at 3psi that carlisles at 13lbs. and the added weight didn't really slow down my 600 twin according to my *** dyno.if anything, the extra weight seemed to have made clutch engagement smoother
im hoping they dont disappoint when i hit the bush with these

okay well i hit the trails today and did a lot of rocky trail, and crossed a few swamps with beaver dams.
i rode with my bro who runs an outty max 800 on 27 mud lite xtr's.
these sedonas came through mud with less effort than the ITP's. where he had to rock back and forth to get through i went in one shot. these have awesome reverse traction and the treads do clean real well although i wear a lot more now.
on hard pack they steer effort less and now i have over steer instead of understeer with factory tires. also bump steer has been lessened slightly
I didnt lose any top end, dut did lose a tiny bit of mid range power.
so far we were both impressed with them. surprised by mud performance of an all terrain tire,neither of us expected it to keep up

I have them on my 06 brute force, And they go great, Have'nt been stuck with the 1 1/8 in lugs, I'v got 5psi in mine thats a little high but im on gravel roads alot, I'v been in mud up to the floor broads and they just keep spinning me out. They handle really good, I'v had them up to 50 mph. and my rear Axel is slightly bend. Best $389.00 I'v spent.
