Default 14" Rims or not

Have a Brute Force 650(sra) will putting 14" rims and tire on it help alot with my side wall flex seeing that theres less side wall or should I keep the stock 12" rims and get new tires for them.I would figure that a good set of 12" terracross over the stock tires should make a big difference also. Need some input from my fellow riders any info would be greatly appriciated.

If you have the stock tires, then yes they have lots of sidewall flex and most aftermarket tires should cure that. Terracross's would be MUCH better at handling than the stockers, even in 12" flavour.

I love my 14" wheels. After seeing quads with 12" rims they just look to small. The 14" also have more room so mud and junk want clog in the brake area. I have found nothing to complain about with 14" wheels. Sure makes it look meaner!

I like 14'' wheels better over 12'' because they seem to be more stable at high speeds, besides they look alot better than 12's. You definately dont want to put 12's especially if your riding a 650, maybe if it was a smaller bike like 350-400cc

If you get bigger tires like 27 inch then get the 14 inch rims/wheels. oh yeah "theBEAST2007" how do your mud lites XTR's work for you. Are they extremly good throug the mud.
