Default Sportsman 700 tires

I have a 700 Sportsman, and want to change my tires. I would like to put on 27 inch Mud lite or Mudzilla. Will these tires fit on my 700 with out spares or moving the fenders or any other additional junk. Also, if anyone has these tires, how do you like them and which one should I put on my machine? We do a lot of mud riding, but if there is not mud then the trail is fine with us.

Default Sportsman 700 tires

I have 27 inch radial outlaws on my 700. When I had the 10 inchers up front they would rub a little, that was with HL 1" 1/2 pacers on the front and the floor boars moved back a bit.
With the 3 " lift on the machine now... I can run my 28 x 12 1/2 x 12 outlaws all the way around with out a rub at all.
No I did not get confused, I have the 28" outlaws. Also the 27" radial outlaws, except I run 12" rubber all the way around now. Last but not least the stock rubber with chains on all four.

YMMV

I put 27 mudlites on C-series on mine and the tire was against the Tie rod end. Got 1" hilifter spacers. This was on my 500 have not tried on the 700 yet, the rawhides and chrome seem to be pretty good for now.

Bigger tires will be harder on the front end... unless you really need it i'd be leary, you might be looking at more repair cost down the road.
I go thru the same mudholes as everyone else and my rawhides have never let me down. I've got a winch just in case, although I've never needed it, that might be something to spend your money on.

I currently have a winch, and have had to use it several times. The Rawhides are good tires, but I get stuck sometimes when I think if I had just a little larger tire then I would be OK. I have some riding partners that have praire 650 with 27in Mudlites, and sometimes they look like they go through a little better than I do. Of course if it is ground clearance issue I still have them beat

with the stockers & chains on them I use them for plowing and also for running on lakes to ice fish.
