Tire Size for 00 Big Bear 400, 25, 26 or 27's?
#1
Hey All,
Just looking to put some new tires on the new Bear. The stock ones are only marginal in the rough stuff and not very puncture proof! I would like to put bigger tires on it as well as a more agressive tread. I ride in some deep mud from time to time (sometimes up to and over the headlights! Yes I have a winch!), but I also ride trails and hunt and ice fish with the quad also. I was thinking of some Blackwaters or XT's maybe Mudbugs,589's or Bear Claws. I am looking for a good all around tire that will also perform well in the mud. What size tires will fit on an 00 Big Bear 400 without a lift kit, and without boging it down to much? I dont want to go wider, maybe 9's or 10's wide max, but higher for more groung clearance. I am thinking about 26's or 27's x 9 x 12 all around. Does anyone have any info ?????
Thanks........Herbie

No, you wouldn't have to change your rims. The 25 is how tall they are. If you move to 26 and stay with the same with you won't have to change your rims. The reasons why a lot of people get different rims are: lighter weight, wider (wider the tire, the more rubber on the ground), and look nicer.
