i need some tires for my rancher 400. i went to a local dealership (www.teampowersports.com) , they said i could go with the 27 mud lites but i dont wont tires that big. maybe some 25 mudlite xls, 25 mudzillas, 26 trailmasters, or 26 vampires. which everone i get, im get the itp type 6 wheels, so rim size dosent matter. what should i do, and i also wont to keep my fourwheeler in good condition. i dont wont tires thats goina make the bearings go out in a week or messin n e thing else up. thanks

 

I run 25" Holeshot ATR's on ITP rims.

The AT has a reputation for being underpowered on the low end, so I wouldn't go to tall if that has been your experience. It will raise your effective gearing and you will lose low end.

 

I have a rancher 350es. It has mudlites 25-8-12 on the front and 25-10-12 on back. I love em. good ride on the trails and pulls thru the mud holes just fine

 

Ive been in holes where first gear bogs down with the stockers on. Going to a 25" mudlite shouldnt be a problem though but I wouldnt want to put on a huge 25" mudtire like a mudzilla just cause when you enter a hole unless you enter in 1st screaming your gonna bog sooo bad. Ive also seen some cases on honda 450's where they have run a bigger agressive tire and his front diff actually came loose off the frame mount like ripped off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I am thinkin of getting some 25 mudbugs now, they will be ok wont they? The only reason i dont get mudlite xl's is that they dont make my back a tire that fits my back rim. And i also dont wont to have to spend money for a kit or have to swap rims with a foreman, rubicon, ect..

 

mudbugs should be okay. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
