Greg- I figured 26s would be about right for it and I haven't noticed any power loss yet. I've been pulling fire wood out of a rutted/steep part of the trail with it (about 500lbs at a time) and it's been revving out under a load quite nicely. The Terracross' have performed great so far also.

I could have used a windshield the day I took these pictures. It snowed another 4-5 inches after the picture was taken in a short amount of time and the winds were brutal. I was dressed right, but after about 5-6 miles of trekking thru the logging trails, I had to turn back to get the dog warmth. I'll probably pick one up soon.
Looks a lot beefier with 26" tires. What was Honda thinking by putting 24" tires on a machine like that? Aftermarket rims also or are they stock?

I guess Honda uses the 24" tires to save some money. It's the same tire the ranchers come with. I agree, it was ridiculously small for a SxS, especially considering how low it's geared but they will make a good spare for now.
Rims are 12x7 ITP Hurricanes
Tires are 26x9 and 26x11 ITP Terracross'
