Guy's I know someone out there has experimented to know what the biggest tire I can run Front and Back of my 95' Sportsman. I'm wanting Gators without question, I just put some on the rear of my boy's Recon and these tires are awesome. I currently have stock 25x11x10 on rear and 25x8x12 on front and i would like to step up a size if possible, but I'm not sure about the front. Any experience with this is appreciated. By the way, I want to stay with my stock Wheels also. Thanks in advance. Yarddog.

26" tires will be the biggest you will be able to put on without rubbing. I have 26" Mudrunners, and the only time they rub is on a hard corner. This rubbing is mostly due to the winch and bumper. Mudrunners also run in the stock size rims.

I went with the stock size of Gators and i am pleased with them.Anytime you put a larger size of tire on a quad it puts more strain on driveline and suspension parts.
