Default Buying tires for the scrambler

I'm thinking about going with 24" tires all around. Currently it has the stock 23" up front and 22" out back. Do you think I will notice a difference in the timber (climbing over logs, etc..........) How about throttle response and the stability of the machine. This is a 400 4x4 bouysen reeds and high compression.

Going up in tire size,even an inch,will take away a little bottom end pull.Now I'm not saying you'll really notice,but you may. Maybe add the tires and a clutch kit to make up and you'll really notice a difference in the timber...

if you run the same size tires front and rear you may need to do some math and change a sprocket to get the front and rear tires running at the same speed.....

You have to maintain the size difference between the front and rear with the four wheel drive models.Otherwise you'll screw up the transfer case...just like a 4X4 truck. You can do it but I don't think you're gonna want to get into the gearing headache.... just my .02
