Default How large of mud lite can I run??

I looking at buy a set of mud lites for my p650, can anyone tell me should can I go to 27 or 28 10x12, 12x12 tires. If i go to 28 inch how will my bike handle and will I have trouble with wheel bearings(I have heard that you run into problems going to big) or are 27" as large as i should go?. If anyone can provide me some input that would be appreciated

The only input i can give you is that i am going to buy 27" mudlites for my 650. Alot of people in here are running 27", and a few are running 28"

28" Mud Lites will fit, even on stock rims... even though I'm not a big fan of the Lites, they are one of the smoother running ( reads less hard on drive train components ), of the big tires... the reason I'm not a big fan of them, is because I enjoy sportier riding, & on a quad as powerful as the Prairie, rippin in 2 wd, will eat up the tires... I think they are an excellent tire for mid sized quads... IMO, I would only run 26" tires, as I've been able to out mud much bigger tires on other quads ( with a little finesse ), & still maintain my sporty ride... However, if you do more mud riding or slow trail riding, you will be fine with the 28" Mud Lites... the above mentioned C Series wheels, have a 1" wider offset, & will add additional stability with running that tall a tire...

I'm running 28"mudlites and they are great. I have 1.5"lift and 2"wheel spacers.
I think when i go to buy a new set it will be 27"mudlites. They are just as good
as 28" and they wiegh less. Hope this helps
