I want the biggest possible tires that will fit on my stock wheels, on my 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 4x4. Thanks !

 

We have 2 bikes with 27/9/12 fronts and 27/11/12 rears mounted on stock rims with no problems. I can't even see 28/12/12 being a problem except for clearance on the tank guard. It depends on tire manufacturer and design though and I seem to remember a post regarding this where someone mentioned a tire (vampires, I think) that had clearence issues. Maybe do a forum search on tires and see what comes up.

 

Just an afterthought. Your thread title mentions 650 prairie but you state the year as 2001. 2002 was the first year for the 650. Is it actually an '02 650 or are we talking about an older bike.

 

I have a set of 27" Dirt Devils .... they rub the tank guard sometimes.

I would not buy larger tires if I was doing it again .... they negativly effected
performance too much.

 

I have 28/10 on the front and 28/12 mudzillas on the rear with no problems on the rims but had to raise fourwheeler for steering clearance.

 

I have 28" X 8" X 12" mudzilla's mounted on the front & have no steering clearance problems... stock front springs, no lift...Have A GREAT Day, Go Four Wheel'in !!!!! WAM

 

It's definitly an 02, just checked the tag, i was never sure, i never cared
