What would happen if I put a set of smaller sport quad tires on my 4x4 Rincon 650? Pros/cons.....good/bad idea? I'm trying to lower my center of gravity a bit.

 

Pros, better low and mid take off.
lighter machine
cheaper tire mabey

Cons, less traction in mud
probably not as puncture resistant with shorter lugs
less ground clearance

 

Maybe some ITP XCT's? You can get sport quad tires in 6 ply, and with a shorter sidewall you might have better puncture resistance in some cases. Were you planning on putting some rear tires on the front too? What about the ITP ATR's? looks like they come in 25 or 26" though, but they would give you some lightness and handling.

 

Mikeyboyesg is running 22 inch holeshots in front and Gators in the rear on his Prairie. He likes the handling advantages. Look in the Kawasaki section or Pm him.

Ok, thanks.....I have a lady friend who rides my Rincon but is fairly new and doesn't care much for the body roll, neither do I.

 

If you go much smaller in diameter then you will be gearing the Rincon down and you cannot correct like a sport quad with sprocket changes. So avoid anything smaller than 24 in or else expect to be screaming the engine all the time. I also think ground clearance will be big issue. The Rincon is very stable for a utility as is so seems to me you are better off to look at stronger sidewall tires like Bighorns rather than going smaller.
