I'm with ya now this time for sure now. Thanks for all the info.

Ok, then to recap. With the bigger tires, you will be able to go through more,(and I mean WAY more stuff) But you do change the "RPM to ground speed ratio" making your quad "feel" more sluggish until you reach "peak" RPMs. OK? Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.

p.s. Thanks for making my brain hurt. lol

That's it. You got it. What sucks is, someone else is going to ask this question again in about a week, and one of us will have to go through the whole thing over again.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THE VAMPS AND THE BLACKWATERS,... AND I WOULD TRY FRO THE PERFORMANCE KIT IF I GET SOME NEW TIRES...

BUT LIKE HIM I AM NOT A HUGE SPEED FREAK JSUT MUDDIN FREAK!

think of it like a four by four truck. when you go from stock tires to lets say 40" tires, it is recomended that you change gears to still have the stock performance. ex..changing from 411 gears to 560...

I have a 89 jeep wrangler with 39.5 inch super swamper boggers it will only go about 65 miles an hour floored and when U put it in 4 gear no matter if your going down a hill or not the jeep slows down. It only has a 2.5 liter 4 banger. but if U put it in low lock it does fine it goes just about anywhere. so I think that if U put 27 inch tall tires on a 4 wheeler it is going to slow down I am not sure what size tires are stock but Unless U increase your hp to turn those larger tires then there is going to be a hesitation when on the throttle now granted it will have higher top end if U have a motor that will pull the larger tires. like a top fuel dragster they run tall tires and steep gear ratio's like 5.61 they have a higher top end speed then they would if they had low rider tires due to the fact that everyrotation of the big tires it would take say 3 of the smaller tires. and when I put my holeshot mx's on my 250rit feels like it is in 4 gear when it is realy in 6 but when I have my razr's it feels like it is in 5 when it is in 6. I am pretty sure about this I am only 14 so i am not a brain surgeon.

the holeshot mx's are 18/11/8 and the razr's are 20/11/9

Bottom line is taller the tire the harder to spin, the harder to spin the lower the tire speed, the lower tire speed the deeper it digs. The deeper it digs the more you work. I don't make the rules i just live by them.
