Blackwater tires for 300 Fourtrax
#2
yes you can go bigger. It will give you a slight power loss and a slight change in steering, overall though it will be worth it for the extra traction. I was going to get the blackwater kit for my 300( 25x10-12 with 12X7 rims in front and 26X12-12 with 12X7 rims in back) but decided to buy vampires for my stock rims, I just went an inch higher and a bit wider all around. I love the traction of vamps. Just remember my motto"You have to pay to play!!"

I have 25-10-12 Blackwaters on ITP 12x7 wheels and 25-12-11 vampires on stock wheels. I still have enought power for my riding needs. if you run your front tires pumped up ALOT it will be very easy to steer. I plan on gettin 26-12-12 vampires on wide offset ITP wheels in about a month. and this summer i'm going to get 26-11-12 Bi-Claws on the front with wheels spacers.

Luke,
You can get almost any tire to fit the stock rims. You must match it up correctly though.
Both of your stock 300 rims are 11 inches in diameter, therefore when you go to buy a tire you need to match the third number 25X12-11, in that case 11. The third number must be 11 to fit your rims. I believe that they also are making all sizes including 27inch tall tires to fit 11'' rims. Good luck.
Mud,
You are going to run 25x10-11 blackwaters up front with 26X12-12 vamps on back? You better get that engine bored out. You might want to talk to jeff at highlifter about how his 300 handles the tires, I think he has lotz of engine mods and a high performance kit.
