What is the size of tire you put on your 650's. I want to put the 26x9-12 in the front and 26x 12-12 in the rear on stock rims. Is there any problems with rubbin in the rear or in the front with the wider tires? What is the best price u paid for them and where did you get them from. My dunlops aren't going to last much longer.

 

montess,,I have the excact same tires you are talking about. They fit on stock rims fine,,,,no problems with clearance anywhere.
They are Damn good tires too.

 

Since you started this thread and I have been looking at these tires also, I would like to ask bearclaw owners about them. How tall are they compared to the advertised heights and how deep are the lugs? Like I said I have been looking at these tires for a while....the cheapest price I have found is at east KY motorsports but I think with shipping the cheapest way to get them is from atv north. Hope I helped.

 

I wanted something a little more toward the mud than 489's they look to much like stock to me.

What are the measured hights on the rims are the close for the rolling distance for the front and the rear? How much more clearance did the give you compaired to stock? Do you have any pics by chance. Thank you for the responce.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Sorry, no pics,,maybe in a week or so I could get some done if you want.The 26 inch tires aren't noticably taller than the stockers.The front moght be 1/2 inch taller(total)But the back aren't noticeably taller at all.They are alot wider, and clearance is not a problem.The lugs are a good 3/4 inch.They do hook up really well in mud ,sand ,gravel and snow.

I'll see what I can do for pics over the next couple of days.

 

Is the rolling distance the same on the 2 tires since the front is 1 inch larger than the stock and the rear are 2 inches larger than stock do they cause the front dif to grind or any thing I read a post where they said they have to be the same in rolling distance. did you ever by chance measure that?

 

ATV NORTH, $225 delivered!
ATV NORTH

Gained alitte ground clearance, with 7psi the tires are only 25"

 

That the best price I've seen so far thanks. I will be ordering them within a couple weeks.

 

Montess, if you mean circumference, there is a slight difference from front to rear, but it is minimal.Mine doesn,t make any grinding noises or do anything else weird
