I think a lot of people wanna see your pictures. Go to http://photos.yahoo.com and get a photo album, then put the url to your photo album in your forum profile. If you have access to your own web server, you can even do better stuff than that.

Kawlaris,
It looks like you have a lot more ground clearance than I do with my 25" Mudrunners. I am curious as to how much. Would you take two measurements for me please?
1. Middle OUTSIDE of the floor board
2. Middle of quad underneath

Thanks.

I will take some measurements tonight when I get home. Some of the ground clearance has also come from adjusting my front struts posistion. I have raised the front and inch doing that. The 26" mudrunners are 26 and 3/8" tall in the front and 26 and 5/8" in the rear. This is actual measured height at 5.5 psi. How does the actual height of the 25" mudrunners measure up?

Kawlaris,
Were your tire measurements taken with the tires on or off the quad?
The 23 3/4" meaurements I got were while the tires were on the quad, no rider. I took off the tires and got a measurement of 24 1/4" at 7.5#. These were on the rear tires.
The front is off by 3/4" and the rear by 1.05".
Any way you look at it I lost 1/2" clearance over the stock tires.
Since you are going out and taking measurements would you plesae take two more?
1. How far off the ground is the bottom , rearmost portion of the trailer hitch?
2. How much ground clearance under the front end now where the skid plate flattens out?

Also, how did you adjust the front struts for more clearance, is it easy?
Thanks.

I took the measurements when the tires were new and just installed on the wheel.

Thanks for the info guys. Think this seals the deal. But what size should I get to fit on the stock rims?

The rears come in 26-12-12 or 26-12-10...which size would be better and whats the difference? Would they both fit? The front only comes in 26-9-12...so I guess thats the right (only) choice...

Thanks again for all the info...and if anyone thinks I shouldn't get these tires, feel free to let me know and why...thanks

If you are using stock rims the only choice for the rear tires is 26-12-12. The 16-12-10 will fit a 10" diameter rim and the 650 has 12" diameter rims on the front and rear. Goodluck with your purchase!
