Default New tires and 1.5 inch spacers

I just ordered the Kenda bearclaws from www.rockymountainatv.com. I was really tempted to get the Highlifter MST's from but my budget said to get the Bearclaws. I got the Bearclaws for 193.96 shipped to my door!! I thought it was a great deal. and it looks like a really good "all around" tire.

I ordered 1.5 inch spacers from www.highlifter.com . I can't wait to see if they make my old beast handle any better.
I'll post a review after i'm done.

Hay Junkman what do you think you will gain from the wheel spacers just stability or more?

The biggest thing I'm looking for is stability. 1.5 inch spacers will make my wheelbase 3 inches wider and I hope it will help it out. It handles like crap right now.

You driving fast on trails when it handles bad? I know new tires made a world of difference with my 400, hope your new stuff helps!

25x8 on the front and 25x10 on the rear of course they run small so I lost about a 1/2 inch of ground clearance but it has not caused me any trouble so far. I dont think I would go larger in size with this heavy of a tire due to the small displacement of the quad.

Not really. It's just really "tippy" compaed to all the other ATV's I've ridden. I'm following the advice by Buckaroo and hoping for the best.

Was just wondering how you are making out with the spacers and your handling.
