How much stress will this tire put on my axles? not going to do alot of mud riding just for looks.

05 800 sportsman 2' lift
front-rear bumpers
thanks davey!!!

 

They don't make a 30" vampire. Outlaw 29.5, mudlite 30.0 and swamplite 29.5

 

sorry mybad! so would you think a 30' mudlight would be good for trail riding?

thanks davey

 

Say bye to all your power and keep alot of belts with you. Why buy an expensive 800cc quad if you dont have the power to use because you put 30" tires on it. It seems like a huge waste of 8k. I see it this way if you look the look you better walk the walk.

 

tires this large won't be a very "fun" trail tire b/c you will be more prone to roll-- for good looks 26' or 27' mud tires-- mudlites, 589s, gators, mudzillas -- all will look good and you'll still have plenty of power.

 

If you wanted 30" tires why didn't you buy a Jeep? JK! 30" Will be too big but if you want just looks go ahead just dont ride it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i had 26" Outlaws on my old '00 SP500 and they wore-out my front end. they were a terrible ride on the trails, and difficult to steer. the Outlaws really took the fun out of ATU riding unless i was in mud only.

if i were to go with a bigger tire, i would only go up one inch in size. any bigger and you are going to hamper reliability.

 

What i meant to say was i liked the looks of a bigger tire ! i'm still going to ride the bike! Just wondered if a bigger tire would hurt my bike.

thanks davey

 

Bigger tires wont hurt your bike but certain parts will wear out faster. Your right thumb will hurt more parts than the bigger tires. I run 28" tires-see picts- and I also run gorilla front axles and stock rear axles. I have never broke one yet but I am also very carful with my throttle when it gets nasty. You already put more stress on you stock axles with the 2" lift. Tires will add a bit more. Polaris has one of the strongest stock drivetrains. It will handle it untill you put it in the wrong spot. As to the comments about losing all your power. When you go with bigger tires you may also need to install a clutch kit. With 28" tires the stock 800EFI and clutch will work just fine.

 

Thanks for the info! BIG DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
