26x 9inch wide rear make look kind of wippy on a full sized chassis Sportsman.
Are they not 25x 11" wide stock from the showroom?

I have
26x9-12 Front 26x11-12 Rear Zillas on a smaller mid size chassis 350 4x4 and they do not stand out to look very hefty once you get use to the look of them over time.

26x9" wide rears may get old to you fast on your larger ATV. Great size for the fronts though.

 

My 400 has 8/12 on the front, measure just over 7.5. The rears are 10/12 but only measure 9.1. L inked is a chart listing sizes.

I really dont care about looks, function is number 1 for me.

So, no real advantage running equal width on all 4 corners?

 

Wider tires have more flotation and traction on the ground. There is good and bad to most things.
That maybe why the spit the difference and put wider on the back vs the front.

 

Thanks. I will go 26/9/12 and 26/11/12. With the back being locked, wider will be better.
