if a atv comes wit stock front wheels with 25-8-12 tires could i run mabe 26-9-12 would that work because the tires i want only have a 26in with the 9in width...and suggestions on a cheap good mud tire im thinking the interco swamplite

 

You should be able to run those tires, the worst thing is that they could rub some while turning but you should be OK. I don't know of a tire any cheaper or better than the swamp lites.

 

your only 1/2" wider towards the ATV the other 1/2" faces to the outside so you should not rub anything.

What ATV are you talking about? My Grizzly/Briun 350 had 25x8 on the front and I put 26x9 Maxxis Zilla on the front and nothing rubs.

 

I run a 350 Moto 4 2WD. I have 26x12x12 on the back Swamp Lites. I love them. Powerking Mud Lites are great too! Have a couple friends running them. Getting stuck is not really an issue too much anymore! Oh yeah flip them if they run too wide to fit! It worked for me. I'm flipping my fronts this week so it's less tippy. It makes a big difference.
