people dont realize that the higher the octane means it has more resistance it has to burning or "greater activation energy". Think about that for one second when you think it will make more power on a motor that doesnt need it.

You need more octane with high compression motors to prevent detonation. If a motor wasnt designed to be run on high octane its a waste. period.

Exactly. I thought I was the only one who knew anything about octane ratings for a while.

Would I be able to go 30x10x12 without any problems on my T-Cat?
I was orignally thinking 28x10x12
But have seen a lot of 700's, polaris 850's, grizzly's and outlanders and renegades running them without problems

sry yammy we are having some difficulty downloading the pictures,we should have them on in a couple days. As far as putting the 30" tires on the only thing you moght have trouble with is axles. It puts a pile of stress on them. It will also depend on how you ride,if you are not crazy about off the line accerelation you will be ok.
