i put 25x10x12 mudlite XL on the front and 25x12x11 on the back and really like the feel of my bike now! A little sluggish in the higher gears but no prob turning them in 1st,2nd & 3rd!!

I have 25'' super grip mud bitches on my 400 AT and it does just fine... and for the critics it handles just as good as it did before, not too much power loss, just dont go any bigger... If you cant get thru, around, or over it with 25s, well maybe you dont need to be there. that is all I'm out.

I see that ITP makes a 24 X 10 X 11 Mud Lite, but not a 24 X 8 X 12 for the front, so maybe I should just put Mud Lites on the rear and leave it at that. (I have had good experiences with Mud Lites on other quads, and after all, they are light.)

So if we all want better handing and power we should but on 22" tires. LOL

Here is a Grizzly and 450 Sportsman with undersized wheels ,I just don,t think it will catch on.

The down side of small wheels is lose of Ground clearance and larger diameter wheel roll over objects like logs,rocks and bumps much better.

Anybody know of good prices for either of these tires.

When a 420cc can handle 25" with ease you have issues. My 500 which is only 70cc bigger motor but the ATV is a "full" size chassis and 150lb heaver than a "mid" size chassis Rancher can stone blast a 360 donut with 25" tires.
