anyone know if the 26 inch bearclaws im looking at are actually 26 inches?a few years back i bought 25" itp589 and found they were shorter than the stock dunflats and i was a little dissapointed since i actually wanted more if any clearance. im picking the bearclaws for forest,trail,and a little mud/snow riding for my grizz do you think ill be happy?

 

i recently bought a set of Mudzillas for mud bogging,i gained 2' by bumping up to a 27" tire,,,,i just bought a set of Bear Claws last week,and remeasured after installing them and i stayed at the same heighth

 

sorry,that was 2" (inchs,,,,typo)

 

i dont follow you,were the bearclaws 27"??

 

yea,,,i needed a new set,and i wanted to go up top a 27" that would get me through some mud bogs,so i got the zilla's,,,they are awsome for mud,and only mud,,,unfortunatly they arnt any good for everyday use

so i had to get anouther set of tires for a more everyday use,and just got the 27" Bear Claws,,,i gained two inchs when i put the 27" zilla's on from stock (25's),and when i put the Claws on i was still 2" over stock,so yes they will gain you a total of 1 inch over the stock if you go to a 26" Bear Claw

just anouther note,,,,the bear claw is a awsome tire,i will definatly get anouther set when these wear out,they track nice,and they have a real nice side wall lug for mud holes,and ruts too

 

great thanks pharts

 

I disagree guys. Go to your local dealer and put them side by side, I think the 26" bearcalw is more in line with the 25" Dunlops. I am looking a a new set of tires right now and I did this with a set of 27" bearclaws and 26" Mudlites, they look to be the same size to me.
