Tires & Maybe Rims for a Rancher
#1
Hey Guys,
I have been reading through the posts here trying to decide what to put on my ATV....I have a 02 Rancher 4x4 and I am thinking of puting on either Bear Claws on my stock rims (stock size tires), or doing a rim & tire package getting some nice aluminum rims....
One thing I am not sure of is the rear tires, the stocks are on 11 inch rims, so I would have to go to a 12 inch rear, and I don't want to go any larger as I don't want to loose any power....
I mostly ride hardpack, gravel roads, some pavement, and use it to pull my jetboat out of the water on my sandy beach....I do some mud riding in the spring and fall.....
I was also looking at the mudlites, but I hear they wear down fast.....
Please comment & make recomendations....
thanks
Brian

For your riding, you need a durable long lasting tire. I would look at Bighorns. They seem to take a good beating on tar and gravel, and hold up very well. I have Swamplites, but would NOT recommend them for your riding style. They wear fast on tar
