I am thinking of buying a bigfoot kit for a 2004 Grizzly. I was planning on getting the 27" ITP 589 M/S tires with the C Series Type 5 Wheel and I have a few questions.
Are the ITP 589's a good all around tire? We do some riding on hard packed surfaces, so I want a fairly smooth ride.How much performance loss will I see with these tires compared to the stock tires? (Does anyone know the weight difference?)What's the best deal out there on bigfoot kits? (Specifically this combination.)Will I need a lift kit with 27" tires? If so, which one?Would anyone reccomend a different tire and/or wheel?

I would appreciate any comments and/or suggestions.

Thanks

 

I got the 26's, work great with no fender rub. I think 27's rub fenders on big bumps. ( read on a post somewhere) I'm not an expert on tires but I think they bite very good on hard packed surfaces,great all purpose tire. I think I gave about $720 for wheels,tires,centercaps,and chrome lugnuts.

 

I have the 27" mudlites on type 6 wheels. THEY R GREAT. check out my gallery. I had to add 2" strut spring spacers which I make out of aluminum. I offer them in varried sizes.

 

The tires look great! I wonder if I will need to add any spacers or a lift kit.
I see you ordered them from lesteratv. I was thinking of ordering from them also. Were you happy with the service, price, etc.?

 

I was definitely happy/satisfied with Lesteratv.com and their service and very fast shipping. I called Melanie at Lesters and she beat my lowest price which was from www.atvoutfitters.net and shipped them mounted/balanced for free. Call and ask for Melanie in sales at 614-873-1876 and tell her David Krueger sent ya her way and she should give you a good price.

as far as spacers/lift go I'm not sure on the grizzly's whether they need spacers/lifts or not but if you decide that you need spacers let me know I have 1", and 1 1/2" spacers left.

 

Does anyone else have this bigfoot kit for thier Grizzly? (27" Tires) Did you have to put a lift kit on it? Where did you buy it?

Thanks

 

I just put mine on tonight 27x12x12s on rear and 27x10x12s on front the front is fine , the back rubs alittle when I punch it and I imagine they will rub on the trail thats ok I will trim the fender in front of the rear tires and make an outward extension , it will look cool . I definety have a wider stance 48" in rear and 47" in front and 13 1/2" ground clearance in rear and 13" in front. I dont want a lift kit , already has high center of gravity. I am definetly pleased , I just wonder how much UMFFFF the tires will take away ? It still feels snotty. I also have a HMF slip on coming in the mail with jets and a k&n air filter to get back some SNORT!! The tire kit is the KENDA BEAR CLAW Bigfoot kit with type 4 alum rims , Lugs and center caps included. @ a cost of $520. + $ 25 shipping could not find a better price. Check WORLDWIDE PERFORMANCE PARTS. Hope this helps. Tommorrow night I will post a picture for you in my pics check it out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] SORRY for editting again but I have a question what is the torque spec for the lugs on the ITP aluminum rims ,they did not come in the box. thanks Anybody.

 

GrizzlyUp the pics I was telling you about should be up tonight.Check em out.

 

The tires look great! Those are similar to the ones I am looking at, but I think I'm going to get the type 5 wheels. I suppose I will have the same rubbing problems with the ITP tires. Oh well, I'll worry about that when I get them. Maybe I'll post some pics when I get them.

Thanks

 

im running 27" outlaws ..i love them in the mud. no lift needed and i don't think they are to bad on trails...a lil rough at slow speeds on hard packed but great in the sand ..you can really send a roost
