I think I am going with the Vamps.
Will I have any problem with
27x9.50x12 front and 27x12x12 for the rear?
Or should I go with
26x9.50x12 front with 26x12x12 for the rear?

With out adding any mods.

thanks,

00 450ES, Warn 2000 winch, more to come if my wife permits (LOL).

 

the vamps are great in the mud and in one of the dirtwheels mags they did a test of the 5 best tires on stock formans and they worked fine.

 

Can you point me to that article?
I see something about a shoot out on another site.
It showed the different ratings of several tires in Mud, Trail, and Obstacles. But it only had the chart. there was not any article attached.

Thanks,

If you don't plan on moding your 450 I would stay with 26" Vamps. They are a very heavy tire to be putting on with out mods. YOu can mount 27" Vasmps and pull them ok, but to realy pull them worth there weight you would need a power kit from High Lifter.

 

its in the july 1999 issue of dirt wheels mag they tested the vampire the itp ag tires the maxxis mud bug the tri-claw magnum and the itp blackwater in the test i dont know a site that has this you might email dirtwheels and ask them but in the aritcle it said the vampires are the best in the mud. i will try to find a place who has it on there web site.

 

I'm going with Boner on that one, by the way, whatever you do, get a 26/26 or 27/27 etc etc, stay the same height front and rear....
