Has anyone put taller tires on a warrior, like 23" fronts and 25" rears. I would like to know what the effects on handling were? Were any gearing changes needed? Tire suggestions? Im trying to get some clearance in the rutted trails I ride but dont want to take a huge cut in the sport department. Thanks for any input. GJ

I dont have larger tires on, actually I have 20" inchers in the back. I would think you could get larger ones without a huge difference in handling. You might have more roll-over in the corners though. Honestly I havents seen larger than 22" rear tires except for utility quads. If you do get larger tires you might wanna get one tooth smaller countershaft sprocket to keep your bottom end torque.

Who said anything about getting more HP out of changing tire sizes? All I am asking is if the larger tires will make it handle alot worse. Larger tires on any quad will take away from the motor some. Cant climb these rutted out hills and trails dragged bottom.
