Time to replace the bald Dunlop stock tires on my Eiger. They didn't last long at all. I ride in 2-wheel mode mostly & that eats up my rear rubber. I like the Kenda Bear Claws, & ITP mudlites. Wondering if I should stick with 25" or go to 26". If you have went up a size on your Eiger, please let me know if there are any negative effects. Like power loss, rubbing, etc..

Stock size are front = 25x8x12 & rear = 25x10x12

Thinking about going with the 26x9x12 front & 26x12x12, but wondered if the wider tires would hinder turning?

Any input appreciated,
HS

 

I would like to know if there are any differences as well, just curious. I, myself, just bought ITP SS106 wheels and 25" tires for my '02 Eiger. I am very happy with them.

you shouldnt have any problems with 26s i have xtrs which are radial and alot heavier than any bias tire and did not lose alot of power

 

I would not go with the 12 inch wide tires in the rear because they may not fit on the rims correctly.

Oh, and I completely suggest the ITP Mudlite XTRs.

12's are FINE on the rear...........................

 

Wow, then try the 12 inch rear tires. They look really nice on the back of your King Quad OrangeSkullz!!

 

i left my eiger the same rim size but up graded to dirt devils ...very happy

 

did you get the xts or the regular dirt devils

 

I've had Kenda Bear Claws for 3plus years 27x10x12 all 4 corners and I can't wear them out. I don't drive on roadways with them

 

I went with 25" Mudlite XTR's on stock rims, great tires!
