Default new tire?

I have a 2010 850 xp and its time for new sneakers. I want grim reapers, but don't know what size 26 or 27 inch. I'm not worried about power just handling on fast trails. ground clearance would be nice, but the stuff we ride in Maine is to fast for a real tall tire. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks,
Pat

If you're looking for a great handling tire on fast trails I would keep looking.

Grim Reapers are great for forward motion in snow and mud but lack latereal control and quick steering which means they don't handle all that great on the trails at higher speeds.

I am really impressed with STI Black Diamond XTRs in the handling department and they love to be driven fast and hard.

I just put on a set of Carlisle Black Rocks and they are looking to be a better handling tire too.
