Looking into suggestions for what tires to upgrade to for my Sportsman 550 XP. I run with several that have the Maxxis Bighorns and they seem to work great and last a long time. The Bighorns are an inch wider on both the front and rear than the stock tires. I was wondering if anyone has issues with the anti-sway bar in the rear with the wider tire. Thanks,

 

Yep,you got to bend the swaybar or use spacers.

 

So how did you bend the swaybar? I'm assuming that's what you did. Sounds like that could be kind of tuff since it's designed to flex.

 

Yes,I did end up bending it.
I PMed you the whole story!

 

get some 26" zilla's, no bending, fit on stock rims and are great all terrain tires

 

Thanks for the Pmed. I search per your suggestion.

 

What type of riding conditions do you usually ride in?

 

i put the 26" zillas on mine and they dont rub. i now wish i would have put 27s on cos there was about an inch between the sway bar and the zilla. i ride mud/water/trail/and hils and i love mine!

 

Whatever you buy make sure they are radials. ITP is the best in my opinion. I love the Terracross for my sportsman. ride safe.

 

I ride everything except extreme mud. From what I've seen of hte Terracrosses they get cut easy by rocks. Big Horns seem to stand up the best from what I've see with the bunch I ride with.
