Hoping someone here can speak from experience. I'm looking to upgrade my tires to some executioners, would rather not bother buying rims, if i can get away with it.

Well my question is, will these tires beat the crap out of my quad? I understand that they are heavy tires, but the drive line in this machine seems heavier duty then some of the big bores out there....BF.....I also wonder if sticking 26"'s on my stock rims is possible, without major modifications( I assume i will have to zipcut part of the rear fender off for clearence). Our riding terrain varies from paved to thick slop. I was satisfied with the traction the stock tires provided on hard packed trails where i could hang with pretty much any other bike i've rode with, but when it comes to the mud i pretty much get owned.
