Default Tires for BF 650 with CVT in mind

I think I made a mistake. I am looking at the part numbers and they seem to match 650/750 belts.

Here:

I am gonna have to check up the factory kawasaki part numbers for the 750/650.

Okay...It is obvious I was wrong with my comments of the CVT belt technology between the 750 and 650. According to the service manual for the 750 and 650 Brute Force models carry the same part number as "59011". I found the different spec on another ATV forum and it appears the information was wrong.

I apologize for the misunderstanding...

I guess I will buy 26 inch tires now... heh!

ATVHades are you running the 650i or the solid rear 650?

I am running the 2006 model with IRS. I will go ahead and update my Quad profile to include all my info.

My buddy rides that and he put the same size wheels on his as I have on mine.... 27 inch wheels, no spacers or lift kit was needed and he had no issues with fender clearance. My tires and rims ran me around 700 bucks delivered, and my buddies was like 500.... he went with a less expenisive rim and tire

The BIGHORN Radial seems to be the Tire for Rocky terrain. This tire is a bit heavy but holds up well & wears long too.
I stayed with the 25" tire b/c of where I ride.
Elevation steals power & the taller tire changes the gear ratios, shifts. I had 27" tires on my P650, so I know this for a fact.
I at one time had 26" Mudlites on my BF but since then have dropped back down to the 25" Badlands, perfect match for the higher elevations I always ride at & since there is NO Mud here and not real rocky either, these Badlands are working out great, even the ATRs do well too.
Radials are the Way To Go.

bfb, i am looking for tires myself to help stabilize my brute force.
can you tell me why you have one set for the front, and badlands for the rear
i think i like the badlands,
i want an upgrade in handling from the stock dunlops, but want a light tire with a nice ride.
can you make a recomendation?

I would also reccomend Bighorns for rocky terrain. I also would look at swamplites, as i ride rough rocky terrain also, along with snow,mud, and hardpack and they have been the best tire ive had so far. But if your riding consists of only 10% mud, you might like the bighorns better, as they arent as good in mud, but i believe they will wear longer than the swamplites on tar
