Could someone provide some advice? I have a 2007 500 Foreman ES, and just put 4 Super Swamper tires on it. I was looking at them yesterday and noticed all 4 tires were 25 x 9.5 x 10. I thought the front tires were supposed to be 1 size smaller? Will this damage the transmission? My dad has a 10 year old 450 Foreman and he's had Super Swampers on his all this time and they're the same size and haven't damaged his. Thanks for any help!

 

Not quit sure what you mean by "one size smaller"???? Most tire sets have narrower front tires than rear. Do you maybe mean width, like fronts should be 25X8.5-10 or something??? Or, maybe you mean diameter, shorter fronts like 24X9.5-10???? (The old Honda 300 used shorter tires in front than back, but none of the recent models.)

Look at what the stock tires you took off. What sizes were they???? How did they differ????

 

I think I'm referring to the height. My last 4 wheeler was one of the 300's and I think I'm remembering back then. I wasn't aware the new models changed and used the same tire height. Thanks.

 

The 500 ES Foreman is Front: 25 x 8-12
Rear: 25 x 10-12 As was the 450's

The older 400 Foremans were, Front: 24 x 8-11
Rear: 24 x 10-11

The 350 Rancher were Front: 24 x 8-12
Rear: 24 x 9-11

Yes it was odd that the 300 4x4 used, Front: 23 x 8-11
Rear: 24 x 9-11 Because the norm is the front and backs on a 4x4 ATV are the same height.
