I’m going to be getting new tires for my Foreman and I have a couple of questions. First, I have Dunlop K401c 25x8-12 on the front and K405c 25x10-12 on the back. I’m looking to upgrade to the ITP 589 M/S and was wondering about size. Will the ITP 25xxxx be the same size as the Dunlop or somewhat taller? I’m thinking about moving up to the 26xxxx but don’t want to jump up in size too much.

That leads me to my next question. I bought the Foreman used and the front tires had just been replaced. So I’m thinking I’ll replace the rear set first with the front to follow when needed. My dealer says I can jump up 1” in tire size between front and back without causing problems, true? Thanks!

 

I believe if you simply go by the stated tire size you should be okay. The first number is the overall tire diameter, the second the width and the third the diameter of the rim that it fits. I could be wrong but I believe this values take into account the size of the treads.
