I have 27" Dirt Devils, and love them. They ride smooth, bite like mad compared to stock and apparently I hear they wear quite well.
I deliberated on tires for almost a year. I don't think I could be happier with my choice.

I didn't want a super mud tire either, which is why I chose the DD's.

PS - I measured mine with 7lbs of pressure, and got 26 7/8, so they're darn close.

 

26" Dirt Devils are doing a good job for me....have not had them long enough to know just how long they will last.

 

I loved my Dirt Devils before I sold my quad. They bit well, they wore well and they looked swell. What more can you ask? Couldn't tell you about the measured size, though.

 

how wide can you go on the stock rims though? i jsut got a set of 26" dirtdevils 10" in fornt and 12" in back, and i plan on running them on the stock rims. does anyone see any possible problems with this? i've rode several things running dirt devils 400EX, 350X, and a recon, and i'm impressed. i hope the XT's will work good with the foreman.

 

All 4 of my tires were 10" wide. I'm not positive, but I would think you would have at least as much clearance on the front as a 300, probably more. I do know that the 10" wide tires were the absolute widest I could go. They cleared the shocks by about 1/4". I had no problems with them, though.

I just put on a set od mud lites and they seem to work great but they are pretty soft. I think dirt devils will last longer but will sacrifice some traction. The mud lites really conform to the terrain. Also check out the ATR's they are available in 26's now.
