I'm wondering if anyone has put smaller {than stock} tires on their blazer??
Why are the front tires taller than the back??
I'v noticed that most other quads have the same height tires on front and back..
I'm considering puttin 22x10's or 11's on the back and 22x7's on the front with alum. rims..
what do u guyz think ???

A taller tire will tend to handle holes and bumps better. imagine driving a Lincoln down the road with little yugo tires on it...you'd be picking up chunks of the front end because it would get torn off on the first pot hole in the road. smaller tires [rear] are easier to turn and since they are powered you dont have to worry so much about the handling. i believe most sporty quads have taller tires in the front than in the back and most utility type have the same size all the way around. i haven't tried smaller tires on the rear of my wifes tblazer but i have tried 20" and 22" tires on my banshee and there is a significant difference in take off and top end speed.
