Default Why up the size?

Why do i see everyone upgrading their tire size?other than the looks of the rims does a jump up 1 or 2 sizes really make that much of a difference.i run stock rawhide 25's and really never felt the need to jump sizes.as i speak im getting mudlites installed and hope they perform as good as they say

It gives some people a reason to blame the brand of quad when something breaks. Otherwise, the obove statement is true also

I can't find a 25' tire that come 12' wide for the rear, that I like or any for that matter, so I will have to put 26s on there.

Vampires and tsls are the only two shown in my book. Everthing else is an 11" or down to 10" wide. Most 26" tires won't measure 26" anyway.

Then you need to find another distributor because just about every 26" ute tire is availible in at least 3 widths; 9", 10", 12" and some are availible with 8" wide fronts to be used in conjuction with skinnier rears.
