Default Tire Info/Opinions Needed

New to ATVs, but does anyone know the actual OD of the 26" swamplites? The stock Dunlop KT???? 25" tires on my '07 BF750i are almost 26" (frt: 25.7, rear: 25.8 not mounted I'm guessing). Just curious if 27" would be the way to go, my BF is bone stock.. I found where I can get a set of 26-9 and 26-12 Swamplites mounted on black ITP SS108 wheel for around 550 shipped, or should I go with the 26-10 on the front? I'm still debating between TerraCross, Bighorns, and Swamp lites. As for terrain, I'm using the quad for hunting, so I'll see the consitions that are normal for the forest, except I'm not going to be running through mud bogs, just muddy roads.

Thanks for the help.
Rich

The 26" Swamplites I have measure 26" on rear and 26 1/4" on the front. with 4 Lbs. With My King 700 I'm definitely doing 27" next time just for the clearance.

Well, I finally decided, after searching through 3 different forums looking at peoples tire opinions. I just ordered a set of 26-9-12 & 26-12-12 Swamplites mounted on black SS108 ITP rims. This cost me around 565 shipped.

Thanks to everyone for their opinions, especially v2rider for replying to my several PM for specific info.

My tire/wheels just arrived today. What service, ordered last Thursday. These look awesome, 26" Swamplites on black SS108 wheels. I just wish I could put them on my machine. My Brute is in Idaho while I'm stuck in California. I'll just have to wait till next October when I go home again for my elk hunt.
