Yes, if you have 12" wheels front and rear, both will fit on the stock rims. Cheapest place to buy? Hard to say. Different places have different prices for different tires.

http://www.teesoffroad.com is a great place to get tires.

also, www.tiresunlimited.com, and www.treadepot.com (less selection, but great place)

I just orderd 26" Bearclaws from ATV Outfitters they were the cheapest I found even lower than the other posts above. It was $542 delivered but I'm getting them mounted on ITP C-series wheels. Just call them at (864)706-7433 and ask for Mathew. Also, Rocky Mountain ATV does'nt carry Kenda tires. Good Luck!

I didn't buy rims, but I paid $228.00 for 4 26" Bearclaws from Chaparral Motorsports in California, and that included shipping to Minnesota. Cheapest I found.

Hey Chieftam,

How well do the fenders cover the new 26" Bear Claws? Does it tend to throw mud on you now? What tire pressure are you running? Let us know. Any problems at all with the ride or handling? Thanks!

Look at my links to see the 26" bearclaws on factory rims. I really love the tires. They handle great on hardpack, up rocky or dirt hills and also do pretty good in the mud.

ConMan: How are the 'claws at high speed? Are they fairly well balanced or do they shake alot? Also, did you measure the actual installed height as compared the the stock tires?

The fenders cover the tires pretty well, just the outside ***** on the tires are showing in the rear, which the stock tires didn't have. I haven't been in much mud yet, but they seem to ride and handle fine, no shaking. They sure do dig up the ground a lot more than the stock Dunlops. Haven't put any turf on me yet.

I am running the stock pressure, 4 and 5, and the tires are still pretty solid, I think I could let them out a little more. When I got them back from Walmart, the rears had 7.5 and 10 in them, (I told them 5) and it rode a little hard. I am really happy with the tires, I will give them a good test in a week when I head out for Colorado and the high country for elk.
