Sportsman XP 850 tire size decision
I'm looking for some input from people who have upgraded the tires on their sportsmans. I am looking to either get a set of 25.5" or 26.5" pitbulls, but am having trouble deciding. I'm wondering what type of change in stability people have noticed when moving to bigger tires? I would love the extra clearance that the bigger tires would give, but am worried that it would make the machine noticeably less stable. I do ride in more off camber situations than muddy situations, but if the difference isn't too big, would prefer to get the extra clearance while I am getting new tires.
I realize that the larger tires will probably require me to get a clutch kit.
Thanks!

Yeah, sorry, I should have clarified, I realize the 26.5's (measure 27" apparently) would require a clutch kit. That doesn't really turn me off at all since I have been kicking around doing that anyways. Just weighing the pros/cons of clearance/mudding vs stability/climbing/off-camber riding.
