O.k. im looking for a set of 26" tires for my 13 500HO, I know this has probably been beat to death but here it goes. I have my mind made up on size 26-9-12 and 26-11-12. I want 9 wide of front cause the aluminum rims I have are sticking out over tire with the 8" stockers, also 26" cause im sure stock clutching will handle and theres more available. I had good luck with zillas in the past but wonder if they were the reason I broke a cv and wore belts?? I do get in some muskeg and wet places but also log road drive a lot. Zillas were also really light to make up for a little oversize on the tires. Also only one flat in 3 years. Anyone else have a recommendation and reason why another tire may work?

 

My little 350 Grizzly handle 26x9-12 and 26x11-12 six ply with tall 1.19" lugs without a problem.
At 19lbs and 23lbs they are lighter then most 25x8 and 25x10 tires.

I wanted them for the 500H.O but I have the odd ball 10" rear rims.

 

What aluminum rims do you have? got pics?

 

Just polaris rims. The fronts are the same width as tires so i can see rim damage happening or popping bead. Also with stock tires the bead sticks out farther than tire. Ill get a pic of that tomorrow
