New to the Rhino world
 

Hey guys

I just picked up a new 08 Rhino SE. I traded my DS650, as I needed more of a work horse around the property. I got a killer deal, and so far the Rhino has been fantasic.

I am getting the bed area speedlined soon, and then I need to upgrade the tires. Probably going to run some 26" tires for now on the stock wheels.

From what I've read, the 26" tires should fit without much rubbing issues right?

Running 27x12 gators on my 08' SE (see pics in gallery) with no problems.

Thanks for the info. I like your Rhino by the way too!

Thank you... I will let you know that you will feel a difference in power running the 27's with stock engine. I noticed a drop (not huge) mostly on initial take off when I first put the tires on. I recently added dual Barker pipes, MSD, K&N filter, and stage II hot cam... that did seem to make up for the loss of power from the tires :-)

I am curious how much of a difference I could feel going back to stock tires now with all the performace upgrades. I will admit that I will most likely go with 26x12 rear and 26x10 front when I replace the tires again though. I just ran across a heck of a deal on the Gators and couldn't pass it up. They are hell g'itters in the mud though!

I recommend a tire such as the Terracross or the Bighorn. Here is mine.

Stoop, I like your rollcage in the bed, but does your bed still tilt?

Right now I am looking at some 26x10 and 26x12 ITP Mudlite XL's.

On my last 4x4 quad, I was running the Carlisle Swamp Pro tires, and loved them. I just can't them around much any more.

Mudlites on a Rhino looks sick!

I hope so, because I just ordered mine!

These are 27" but they still look tough.
