Default 26" bearclaw measurements

So, if I understand that right I should have more height on them due to some ballooning since they are on the stock rims. Therefore if they were on 12" rims they would be even shorter. Hmmm, hope they respond to me.

Putting the tires on too narrow of a rim wont really make them taller as much as over inflating them would. It will make them look more ballooned out on the sides because the bead of the tire is pulling the sidewall of the tire in. I dont know of anyone that makes a 12 inch wide rim, but you really wouldnt want one that wide anyway. ITP makes 8 inch wide, but you need to know your offset before ordering.
Your stock rims are fine if you only went to a taller tire and not one thats wider than you had before.

What's wrong with the stock rims?

I am using the stock rims with the 26x12-12 bearclaws. They are on fine and work good. I am just upset at the height variant. Should be 26" but isn't.

That's good to hear TeamGrnMojave269. I hope to hear from Kenda on this issue. I was going between the Mudlites, DirtDevils and the Bearclaws. Decided to go with the bearclaws due to overwhelming positive responses for the tire. People were complaining about how small the DirtDevils were compared to other brands of the same size. Maybe I got a small set from Kenda for the 26's but all 4??? Seems odd........ They do say 26 on the side of them so they should be. Seems like I have 25's instead labelled as 26's. Who knows.......

Yeah well I wish you the best of luck!!! This is one of those few cases were it would probably be really handy if the tires were purchased from a local dealer....then just take'em back and say hey man these tires are to short!! LOL

I got them from 4atvtires.com. I will give Kenda till Friday to respond and then I will call them. Then I may call 4atvtires and see if they have had problems like this before.
