Polaris Sportsman(hawkeye)300 Tire/Wheel question
 

Hey guys, ive got a question about what mud lites or tires like them i can fit on STOCK rims with little to no mods i need lugs that are fairly deep but something very simmilar to a ITP Mudlite or smaller swampers the stock tread is good for light trail riding but i get stuck way to easy and it takes way too much to get me out

Dimentions of stockers are Front: 22x7-12
Rear: 22x10-12

Thanks

I put 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 rear on my Hawk without any mods. The rear tires are a tight fit but they dont rub. Only draw back was a slight loss of power but I havn't gotten stuck since putting them on.

Yeah i like the beefyer look of yours i might go with 23s but with deeper lugs but the fronts work fine with 25x8-12s? i asked my friends dad and he works at monroe muffler up here and he said each number after the first has to be the same for the tires to fit. oh and what muffler do you have on there? doesnt look stock for any year

no, you don't have to have the same size tire as rim, you can go another inch for sure, and sometimes 2"

Sorry it took so long to get back, works been busy. The only number that has to be the same for the tires to fit your stock rims is the rim size ( 12in.) as for the rest you can go up in size 1 or 2 numbers without any trouble the front tires on mine are 25-8-12. Although the clearances are tight there isn't any rubbing. I'll try to post some pics soon. The exhaust on my Hawk is the stock exhaust. My Hawk is an early 2006 model manufacture date of 11-15-2005.

heres my hawkeye on 27/12/12 and i had to trim a lil but it loss a lil bit of power but i looking for a clutch

Had the stock 25's/rims from my RZR on my daughter's 300 and worked great. Watch craigslist in your area and you can pick these up new for dirt cheap from folks that upgrade right away on new machines. Might even be able to get them at the dealer cheap as take-offs. Advantage of going to the 12" rims is you will have much more tire selection if/when you want to upgrade.

Remember Mudlites come in 3 different lug heights. "ATs" with 1/2" lugs, "XLs" with 3/4" lugs and "XXLs" 1-1/4" lugs.

Mudlite "XXLs" amost worn out look like new Mudlite "ATs".

Yes, old thread. Just wondering how much loss you have had going up to 24'?

Cant be bad its a 300cc. My 350 Grizzly came stock with 25" and I put on 26" Zillas and did not notice much difference.

50cc cant make much difference.
