I just ordered Titan 589 27x11x12 rear, and 27x9x12 front. Question is: These tires should work fine without any lift correct? I shouldnt have any rubbing problems? Fine time to start thinking about this! After I order them ! They are going on my 98 Quadrunner 500.

For normal trail riding they should not rub, but when u start to use all of the suspension travel they might rub.

r34, I have had no problems with it at all! Allthough, I dont have alot of miles on it either, only have 475 miles so far. I had a King Quad for 3 years prior to the 500, and had 2200 miles on it without a problem. So Im hoping the 500 goes like the king quad and then some! Do you have a 98? Had problems?

bloodtrail... I just bought the 2000 Quadrunner last October. I have about 150 miles on it so far, and have'nt had one problem. It's winter up here, so I am kind of excited to see how it does in the mud, after the spring thaw. You will have to let us know how the new tires fit.

r34, Winter in southern Wisconsin has been nice! As long as you dont like snow! Not any snow on the ground now, and only had 1-4"snow which melted the next week. Temps warm, as far as winter goes. Makes for a short winter! Problem is ice isnt the greatest for ice-fishing! Where you from?

I'm from Alberta Canada, just on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. We too have had a moderate winter, with not that much snow, until January, then all hell broke loose. Today it is -24 Celcius, I dont know what that is in Fahrenheit, but I will tell you one thing, its freakin cold enough to freeze the nuts off of a brass monkey, thats for sure. But they say by Monday it should be back up to -4 or so. I kind of like riding in the winter though, its fun to zoom around on the ice, as long as you don't fall through. Did you see my pictures on the other post ? If you did'nt, check out
