I have a 98 Foreman that we just use to plow the sidewalks in the winter. I would like to put a highlifter kit on to take it to the woods when I don't ride my DS 650. I was thinking about puting 26" tires on. Will I need a lift kit? I would like 27", but am afraid I will loose too much power. Any help would be great!

 

as u can see from my signature i have 27" vampires and no lift kit they fit fine....28" requires a lift kit actually bought a set of 28" edl vampires to find that out, and a lift kit will void the warranty...so in the rafters they went.....bought another set of 27" vamp's...i love em i cant say on the loss of acceleration as my dealer let me trade the stock tires in on the vampires ...he gave me $120 for my stockers and added the remainder to my total...helped that i paid cash, he said he only did it cause i said it was a deal breaker...and i was standing there with the check book open..but to answer your question .. up to 27" tire will fit a stock foreman if u don't go over about 10" wide....27x10x12 what i run

 

oh yea i have never seen a lack of power!!!!!...with these tires absolutly an awesome machine with the 27" vampires..(knock on wood) i have never had mine stuck and been in sum pretty nasty stuff, actually have had it totally submerged(several times) and it crawled the bottom and out the other side..no snorkles no mods except tires
