I've ridden ATVs, but am new owning one.
I just bought a grizzly 700 efi and have decided when I upgrade tires I'ld like them to be swamplites. I don't want any sizes bigger than 27"
The grizzly's stock rims and tires are Rear/ 25x8x12 and Front/ 25x10x12.

1. Are tires that are 1" wider than the rim safe to put onto the smaller width rim?
2. Should I get 25x8x12 & 25x10x12?
3. Should I get 26x9x12 & 26x10x12?
4. Should I get 27x9x12 & 27x10x12?
5. Or should I get the front and the rear in the same width instead of two different widths?

If I do have to get rims for the new tires, then I think black would go good with my camo colored grizzly.
I also don't want this thing looking like a monster truck, and would like to keep some of the torque that comes with moderate wheel size.

 

You would like 26" tires. Thats what i got, and my stock tires were 26, and i still gained another inch of ground clearance. So you would gain more, going from 25 to 26. Also, the swamplites are an amazing tire[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
