I was just checking to see, could I put the 22x12x10 or the 23x10x10 bear claw on my lakota (stock tire 22x11x10)? I am needing new back tires as the stock Goodyears didn't manage squat in the mud when they were new and are even worse now that they are fairly well worn down. Also, what's the best winch to put on a lakota? I like to mud and deep water cross a lot and would love to have something better than a come-along to pull my buttocks out of tricky stuff. (Need to make a snorkel, but that is a whole 'nother can of worms I won't get into right now.)

 

You won't clear a wide tire on the lakota. A mudder in the stock size most likely won't fit. Kawasaki decided to put the battery in the least practical place. Either relocate the battery box, or get wheel spacers.
