Are your Rancher tires 24" tires? If so, when its time to replace your tires I would put 25" tires on next time. 25" tires are far from being considered over sized tire on a 350 4x4 IMO.

 

Thanks, TLC. I'm not sure what size they are. They are the factory originals. Other than ground clearance, what would be the advantage of the slightly larger tires??
Any input on what tires to go with? I don't do any real mudding. Heck mostly I use it for either ice fishing when possible, which hasn't been much the last few years, or utility work around the house.
I originally bought it for ice fishing, and because I just wanted one. I bought a house on 12 acres 2 years ago and now it seems I'm always finding a use for it.

Not quite sure why a Polaris owner is over here in the Honda forum, but got to disagree with TLC about the tires . The Rancher's best atribute is its nimble handling. You go and load if down with big tires and you can turn it into a slug that isn't all that pleasent to ride. So, think about that before you plunk down $1,000 for a set of rims and tires!

 

You do not change rims to change tires. The Rancher comes stock with 24x8x12 front and 24x9x11 back you just get 25x8x12 and 25x9x11 instead. I get new Tires from E bay they have great deals. Advantages in 25" tires are more ground clearance and a little more speed and larger wheels roll over obstacles much easier so the ride is smoother.

My old 88 350 Big Bear and 450 Foreman could turn 25" tires without a effort. It,s not that 25" are over sized but more like 24" are undersized for a 350 4x4,look it up and most other 3504x4 Utilities come with 25" tires from stock. Do not get a hard core mud tire because they have a rougher ride for general use because of the large lugs ,and also make sure the new tires are at least 4 ply, most stock tires are only 2ply.
