Dang Crypto that would be the toughest quad I have ever seen if it were only red[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I see you got 26s how does the 400 handle them?

Once you get a few miles on them, tell us how they handle and if you notice any power loss from the bigger tires.

They look great though.

Default New Tires

Thanks guys. Just got back from a 25 mile ride. Not much mud but I don't think there is any question how these will pull in the mud. The trails were difficult rock sections and easy sections. As far as power, very little difference if any. The handling is WAAAY better than those crappy stock tires. No rolling on the rim. I started out with 8lbs in the front and 5lbs in the back. This was way too much air. I found that 4 all the way around handled well and rode MUCH better. I may go up to 5 in the front. The tires ride good on hard pack, but they aren't a plush ride. Very acceptable to me. It's a firm responsive ride. I was so surprised how well they pulled on the wet rocks and how they handled on the trails. These things make my AC feel unstoppable! Love em!

Mobilzed Thanks for your help. - I ordered the 25's, but the fronts were backordered, so I called and ordered the 26's. Glad I did, I think they are damn close to the same size as the stock 25's. I think you mentioned they run a little small. I may have gotten a 1/4" out em. I can't believe I got all four tires shipped for like 270.

Thats a real good price alright and on one heck of a tire. I know my 400 could pull more tire I wish I had got the 27s but I'll have to wait for them and maybe some new rims. If you gained a 1/4" thats a plus, they do make the AC's feel unstoppable don't they. Those tires are real durable too I have not had any problems with mine in a hard 500 miles. Talk at ya later have fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
