Depends what you mean by turn? if its just going down the road you could go until you hit the fender but if its turn in some decent mud, id say 26-27 depending on how aggressive the tread is.

Too bad you couldn't try before you buy. I would say safely 1 " larger , but 2" might be ok. I believe the Honda has manual shift vs CVT. If it does, you have more leeway. Here is a picture of my 2002 Arctic Cat 400 manual shift with 27" Outlaw MST'S. It loved the oversize tires. GPS top speed went from 55 to 60 mph! Seemed to accelerate same as with 25".

i decided to go with 27x9x12 interco snipers. I was originally going to do 29.5 x 12 because i liked the 2 inch tread on them, but had several people tell to go with 27 or 28s because it wouldnt turn them well in the conditions i would have them in.
