Your quad is a do-anything machine. ATV’s are great for getting things done and for recreation too. But now you’re looking at your tires. Maybe you’ve blown one or they’re getting bald. Or maybe you just want a more aggressive tread pattern and a bigger tire. The problem is you’re a little lost when it comes to your ATV tire size.
How big can you go? Should you go big? How do you even know what all these numbers represent?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ll answer all those answers and more in this comprehensive guide.
So, you’re shopping around for tires and you see one listed with a size like 26×10-12. Or, worse yet, you find something listed like 206/80R12.
What the heck does all that mean?
First, you need to figure out if you’re dealing with standard or metric ATV tire sizes.
Standard format is much more common on ATV tires than metric. You might see a tire size written 26×10-12 or, occasionally, 26x10x12. This format is pretty straightforward. It uses three numbers to sum up the size:
If you see a tire size that looks like this: 205/80R12, you know you’re dealing with metric. The metric format is exceedingly rare for ATVs and odds are you’ll never come across it. But if you do, the letter thrown in the middle of those numbers is a dead giveaway. In metric, you always have three numbers and a letter:
There may be other numbers and letters before and after these, but they’re not important for understanding your ATV tire size.
Knowing how to read those tire sizes is just the first step. You really need to know how to use them. Is 26 inches a reasonable diameter for your quad? What kind of width do you need?
When you’re considering replacing all of your tires, you’ll want to make sure you get something that will actually fit on your stock vehicle.
Your typical ATV tire diameter fits within a range of about 20 inches for the smallest machines to about 30 inches for your more factory mud-equipped machines.
Basically, your quad will typically fit into one of few categories:
Keep in mind that you’ll want to keep within a couple inches of your stock tire size. If you go too big, you’ll start to rub on your fenders (among other issues). If you go small—well, that’s just silly.
Tire width is easier to understand. Choosing the right tire width has a lot to do with your own preferences and riding style.
A wider tire tends to give you a flatter tread pattern and more grip. A narrow tire gives you a little more control.
ATV’s usually have a wider tire on the rear than on the front to get the best of both tires. A typical rear tire on a quad will be 10 to 11 inches wide while a front tire will be 7 to 8 inches wide.
But matching your tire width to your riding style isn’t the only thing you need to consider. You also need to make sure it’ll physically fit on your chosen wheel. There are two main ways to make sure it’ll fit.
This one is non-negotiable. You have to make sure your tire’s wheel diameter matches your actual wheel diameter.
Most off-road wheels tend to be 10 to 12 inches in diameter—which is convenient considering most off-road tires are designed to fit those wheels. That’s a good size as it gives your tire plenty of cushion between the tread and rim, which results in smoother rides and more protection for your rims.
Of course, you can end up with bigger wheels if you have bigger tires, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
You don’t need any old tire. You have to choose the perfect ATV tire size for you. After all, you ride your own way and have your own needs.
We’re going to simplify ride style to three main types:
For a workhorse ATV, it’s not a bad idea to stick with stock. It’ll give you the expected traction and power you need.
Trails and dunes demand high traction, and you get that by going wider. You don’t necessarily need a taller tire, but a wider one will give you the grip you need.
Dominating rock gardens and taking on bounty holes is done best with a big tire. But going big isn’t as simple as just buying the biggest tire you see.
The short answer is yes.
Here comes the long answer.
Every ATV has a theoretical maximum tire size it can fit without modifying the suspension. It’s typically about one to two inches bigger than your stock tires. So if your ATV came with a 27-inch tire, you could probably fit a 29-inch tire without too much trouble.
But what if you want to go bigger?
That takes some work. You’ll either need to invest in a lift kit or some offset A-arms. These types of kits will often tell you what the max tire size is when you have them installed.
You can’t go big without some consequences though. Namely, you’ll lose torque due to the increased diameter (big tires like a high-gear kit!) and the extra weight. The weight can also put extra strain on your clutch and shorten the life of your clutch belt.
Luckily, you can get your torque back with a transmission gear reduction or GDP Portal Gear Lift (which has a gear reduction built in).
You can also bolster your clutch with heavy-duty drive belts and eek out even more torque with a clutch kit.
So now that you’re equipped with knowledge, go equip yourself with some tires. Get the ATV tire size you want, and ride with confidence.

HAVE A 2021 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 850 HO, PURCHASED NEW TIRES 28X9-14 AND 28X11-14. STOCK WHEELS ARE 14X6.5 AND 14X8, WILL TIRES FIT STOCK WHEELS OR DO I NEED WIDER WHEELS ? IF SO WHAT DO I NEED !
Hey William! Congrats on the new setup. Sounds awesome! You should be fine running that tire size on that size wheel. Thanks for checking in!
Will that effect the torque enough to need a clutch kit or will it be fine?
Hi Billy, the difference isn’t enough to need a clutch kit in my opinion. The new tires shouldn’t significantly impact torque at that size.
I acquired a Sportsman 500HO 2005 4×4 that had superATV Terminators 28x10x12 with 2” spacers. When acquired, the boots on the axles were busted, so I replaced the axle with also acquired Centric axles from Amazon. 5 minute ride, the right side cv band broke and popped of the boot. They aren’t rubbing at all that I can tell. My ?, are these tires too big for this ATV, or should I try a different axle? Suggestions?
Hey Shane,
Give us a call to speak with a technician! 812.574.7777
I need tires for a Kubota UTV. Current tires are 24x11x12 in rear and 24x9x12 in front. I don’t want to change wheels but am having trouble finding those tire sizes and when I do, they are a good bit more expensive than other sizes. Would I be better off changing height or width or both in order to get tires to fit these wheels?
Hello
Great post and thanks.
I have a question.
I have a 2018 Ranger 500 with race line rims and 25×10-12 tires.
Can I take those tires off and put on 24×9-12 instead? With the same rims accept those?
Thanks so much
Jason
Hey Jason, thanks for checking in! Yes, you should be able to switch those out and be just fine.
Hi great post , I have a question . I have a Polaris 330atp which has fronts 24/8/12 rears 24/11/12 . Can I put fronts 25/10/12 rear 25/11/12 without it rubbing on anything? Any information would be greatly appreciated thank you 👍
Hello! It may actually be possible to bump up from a 24 to 25 with little to no rubbing but not sure if you’ll be able to go wider in the front like you’re wanting. Unfortunately, we don’t offer any kind of lift or anything for this machine, so it would be hard for us to confirm for sure. I would recommend double checking with a dealer. Thanks for checking in!
2005 polaris scrambler 500 4by4 fronts 23by8.5by10 rears 2211by10 going with 24by9by10front 24by11by10 rear will they bevok
Hey, John! If you’re planning to only go up by an inch, then you should be okay. You may have a slight rub when compressed and at full turn. Thanks for checking in!
I have a 2007 Yamaha Wolverine which comes OE with 23x8x12 & 23x10x12 can I increase the tire sizes to 26x8x12 &26x10x12 without any rubbing issues or any other type of issues?
Hey Bob! If you’re running stock, it would probably rub some. If you add A-arms, you should be able to run up to 28″ tires. https://www.superatv.com/yamaha-wolverine-high-clearance-1-5-forward-offset-a-arms
Hi. I have an older Polaris Sportsman (2004). The rear tires are 25×11-12 but I have found better deals on 25×10-12. Will going narrower work? Most everyone seems to be going wider.
Hey Mike! It shouldn’t be a problem to go with a narrower tire as long as it’s wider than what the wheel measures. Thanks for tuning in!
Hey Tyler, I have a 2021 rzr highlifter with 14×8 inch rims on back and 14×6 on frt. Currently the factory tires ar 29.5×11 rear and 29.5×9 frt.I want to run 32x10x14 all around any issues you can see? Tried putting rear 8 inch rim on frt and inside rim hit tierod end on full turn. Thx George
Hey George! You should be fine to run 10″ wide tires on 7″ wheels. We appreciate you tuning in!
Hello
I have Honda 300 four track older model
Stock front 23×8-11 and rear 25×12-9
It’s been sitting for few years and I’m getting it going again but really need rear tires just get it going
Im on budget and found someone with
22×10-9
Was wondering if that would be good of fit for the rear tires
Thanks for reading, Jim. You really want to match the stock diameter. With the way 4WD works on that machine, you’ll end up damaging your front diff if you change the ratio between your front and rear tires. It’s just not a good idea. When looking for new tires, stick with 25″, but you can change the width without much consequence as long as it still fits on the wheel.
Just purchased a 2022 rzr 900 trail w26″ tires I would like to go up to 27 inches but most of the manufactures
spec list for 27″ is a 7″ wide rim where mine is 6″ wide according to Polaris spec’s. Am I stuck with finding tires
for the 6″ rim or can I cheat up to a 27x9x12 that suggest a 7″ rim?
Hey Randy, thanks for checking in! In this case, we don’t recommend going against manufacturer guidance. It sounds like you’ll need to go with a tire for a 6″ rim to avoid any future issues. We hope you’re enjoying your new RZR!
Choice of tubeless or inter tube for farm and woods
Hey Bob! We typically only recommend running a tube in the tire if the tire is damaged or requires it. Thanks for tuning in!
Hey Tyler, i have a 2017 Suzuki KingQuad 400 ASi with 25 x 8 x 12 front and 25 x 10 x 12 rear.
Looking to buy 27 x 6 x 12 front and 27 x 10 x 12 rear.
Any information would be greatly appreciated thank you .
Thanks for checking in with us! Unfortunately, we do not offer anything for that size. I would recommend reaching out to a local dealership and seeing what they are able to offer you.
I have a 2004 bombardier 400 that has 25/8/12 on the front and 25/10/12 on the back can I put 27/10/12 for the front and 27/12/12 on the back? I also have new wheel spacers I was wanting to put on
Hey Jason. 27s will definitely rub, and I don’t think wheel spacers are gonna help. You’ll need to trim some serious plastic or get a lift to clear those and also run wheel spacers in the front (if your front wheels are wider than stock, they’ll bump into your tie rods when you turn). It’s doable, but not without a little extra work. Thanks for reading!
I have 2021 stock 25x8x12 and 25x10x12 rims. All of the tires are Carlyle 25x10x12. Will there be any problems on the front tires being that wide? They look ok on the rims, but haven’t put on my 2015 Ranger 900 Crew yet.
Hey, Devery! Thanks for tuning in! You should not have any problems with this set up.
hi, i have a kawasaki bruteforce 300 2021….i wanted to buy new tires…thinking of maybe kenda bearclaw….
original tire size 22-10-10 (rear) could i put 23-10-10 or will this bug down my atv too much in mud or snow? i dont drive crazy…i just want to be able to go tru snow better then my a bit used original rear tires….
Mario, since these tires aren’t ours, we don’t have any fitment testing info. But I would assume you wouldn’t have any issues with 1 inch bigger tire. You will just want to make sure you can clear them without a lift or any other added mods. Thanks for tuning in!
Hello, I have a 2020 Can-Am with the stock 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 rear, I want to upgrade to either a 26x9x12 & 26x11x12 or 27’s of the same, but on certain tires that I like, they only offer the 26x9x12 and 26x10x12 or 26x12x12 rears, would the 10×12 or 12×12 on rears matter, since it’s not the 2”’width difference?
Thanks in advance.
Rick, you can run the same width all the way around. Thanks for hanging out with us!
Hello, great article! I have an older Polaris Xplorer and need to replace the rear tires, which are 25×12-10 Dunlop KT125M. Im wondering if I should go the same size, or if there are any better size/width/make recommendations you could offer? I do mostly trail riding on some pretty rough terrain. Recently I popped my first ATV tire on some crazy roots, so I plan to replace both of the rear tires (vs. all four for now), and just want to make sure I grab the best. Thanks!
Thanks, John! Although we don’t really work with the Xplorer, we would probably recommend sticking with the same size, mainly to avoid clearance issues. Increasing tire size can also affect clutching and overall power/performance of the ATV. If you’re after a more aggressive tire for rougher/muddier terrain, you could probably go that route, but we’d recommend sticking to the same size if possible. Thanks for tuning in with us!
I have a Kawasaki 4010 transaxle diesel with 23×11-10s and just put a 3inch lift on it. How big a tire can I put on the 10 inch rims?
Hey, Ned! It’s hard to say exactly without having the machine to confirm, but you will more than likely be able to run a tire an inch taller that the lift you have. Thanks for tuning in!
interestingly I bought 27×9-14 and 27×11-14 tires for my 2018 Polaris Sportsman Touring 850. I pulled the wheels off and see the rear are stamped “max tire 26″ and front is 30”
what would that matter? OEM was 26×8-14 and 26×10-14.
Hey Rob! I’m assuming it’s just saying that’s the largest size tire the machine will clear without contact when the suspension is compressed and whatnot. We appreciate you tuning in!
I hope you’re wrong LOL. Just put 27s but they say those run small.
And this wheels are used on other models too. So really not sure. But you may be right.
Haha, I hope I’m wrong too now! Keep us posted. Thanks, Rob!
Stock front tire is 25×8-12 and stock rear tire is 25×10-12. Want to go 26×9-12 front and 26×11-12 rear. Would that fit? Also would a 14 inch diameter fit if I wanted to go up to 27 inches?
Hey Justin, what machine are you running? And then I’m not 100% sure I understand the last question. Hopefully once we know this, we can get you helped out. Thanks for tuning in with us!
I have a 2022 ranger 1000 premium When I bought it with stock 27s only goes 51mph I’m lifting it with 6 in lift and 6in gpd portals and running 37s on 22s 45% on the portals how much of my top speed should I expect to loose? Should I go with the 45 % or 60% to get a better top speed ?
Hey, Kevin! Check out our GDP portal calculator to help you figure out which gear reduction is best for you: https://www.superatv.com/portal-calculator Thanks for the support!
I have a 1995 Polaris Magnum 425. It is chain drive (front and rear). Stock tires are 25x8x12 in Front. Rears are 25x12x10. I would like to put on 26 tires. Finding 26x8x12 (or 26x9x12) is not a problem. Finding 26x12x10 is way more difficult. Can I go with 26x12x12 on the Rears without risking damage to my transmission ?
Hey, Mike! Changing the tire size shouldn’t cause any issues with the transmission. You may run into an issue with the wheel offset. We don’t deal with this machine very much, but I’d say you probably need a larger offset or wheel spacers in order to clear everything. You may reach out to your local Polaris dealer to confirm. Thanks for checking in!
Great article! Great info!
I have a 2018 diesel Club Car Carryall. The stocks are 25×11-12. Do you think I can move up to 27×11-12? How much more tire could I put on without any modification?
Hey Red! Unfortunately, we don’t have a ton of info on this machine in particular. We’d be surprised if you could get much bigger of a tire without modifications, though. I’d reach out to your local dealership and get their thoughts. Thanks for tuning in!
I have Kymco 700 2018. Original tires were 26×9×14. We put 27×9×14 my speedometer said doing 50mpr. I don’t think it was 50. More like 40. Everything I read says it should be faster.
Marvin, your suspicions are correct. Adding bigger tires can definitely mess with your speedo. Your machine has to work harder to move the bigger tire since it requires a greater distance to achieve one revolution, which will give you an incorrect reading. You can use our gear reduction calculator to help you find the gear reduction you need to return to stock speeds, but those tires may not even been big enough to be worth fooling with. https://www.superatv.com/portal-calculator There’s a lot of factors that can impact your speedometer reading, but you’re probably in the neighborhood of about 3.5-4% off the speed your machine is reading, so it’s probably still very close.
This thread has been super helpful and informative. Thank you!
I just bought a 2022 Ranger Crew 1000 and stock tires are 26x9x12 Carlisle’s. I already have a sidewall puncture and may just upgrade all 4 of my tires and wheels.
A local shop recommended I go with 29x10x14 wheels and tires since those are fairly common.
Would you agree, and/or have another recommendation for wheel and tire size?
Also, the same shop said I would NOT have to re-gear or make any other modification because my upsized tires are only a slight change. Would you also agree with this or recommend I modify to ensure optimal performance?
Hey Rob! You’re probably going to notice some rubbing on 29s at full compression and turning. You may need to go with a set of forward offset A-arms to make sure you don’t experience any clearance issues.
I got a 2018 Polaris High lifted edition. they have 29.5×9.5×14 all the way around. i bought some tires that are 27x11x14 on the stock rim…will it fit?
Hey Aaron! Yes, this should fit. Thanks for tuning in!
I have a 2008 Polaris sportsman with front 25x8x12 and back 28x11x12. The 28x11x12 seems to be harder to get. Do I have any other options?
Hey Jason! Typically, you don’t want to run different height tires from front to back. Different width tires is OK though. The closest thing we have is a 28x10x12 Terminator tire, but it would rub in the front unless you’ve got a lift or forward offset A-arms installed. Here’s a link to our tires if you’re interested: https://www.superatv.com/terminator-utv-atv-mud-tire I hope this helped!
We bought our son a Polaris 110. It has 19x7x8 on front and 18×9.5×8 on rear. I would like to get a little more clearance by increasing diameters. Any suggestion?
Hey Doug! Unfortunately, we don’t have a ton of experience with this machine. Your best bet is going to be to contact your local Polaris dealership and see what they recommend. We could suggest a bigger tire, but we don’t have one to measure to make sure there won’t be any rubbing. We appreciate you reaching out to us!
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mule with 23×11.00-10 tires. Can I put 24×9-10 or 23×10-10 tires on the same rims. Thanks for any input you might have.
Hey Tim! Putting those size tires on those rims shouldn’t be an issue, but I can’t say for sure or not if it’s going to rub if you go to something bigger than the OE tire. Thanks for reaching out!
Hello
I have a 2018 Artic Cat/Textron Alterra 700. Stock tires are 25-8-12 and 25-10-12. I want to go to a 27-9-12 and 27-11-12. Do you think that would work or do I need to keep the stock width?
Thanks
Hey Eli, if you keep the suspension stock, going to the bigger tires is probably going to rub some. But if you go with a small lift kit, they would probably be okay. It’d be a safe bet to reach out to your local dealer to confirm for sure. We appreciate the support!
I just got a 2014 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans with stock 23×11-10 tires. I know this may not be a beast on the trails, but 4 seater at a good deal is great for the family. I need new front tires anyway as they are pretty bald. Will I have any issues going to 25” tires? I’m pretty limited on tire choice due to the 10” rims, is it possible to throw 11” rims on there to open up more tire choice?
Thanks,
Hey Scott! If you go with a tire taller than 23 or wider than 11, it’s likely going to rub. If you still really want to go with a different size tire, you’ll want to replace all 4 and not just the front to keep from causing any issues. You could go to an 11″ wheel if you can find the right bolt pattern, but you’ll still want to stay with a 23″ tall and 11″ wide tire in the front. The rear tires can be slightly wider, but will still need to be more than 23″ tall. Thanks for reaching out!
2015 Polaris Sportsman 1000CC Pursuit edition with worn out stock tires F 26X8X14 R 26X11X14. Have a set of Executioners F 28X9X14 R 28X11X14 on the watchlist. Is a 2 inch increase in diameter too much? Will they rub on the wheel wells?
Hey Kenneth, thanks for the question. A 2″ tire increase on a 2015 Sportsman XP 1000 is pushing it. It’s possible that you could fit them without rubbing, but it’s likely that you’ve lost some tire clearance due to the age of your machine. An ATV’s max tire size is also really sensitive to the weight you put on the machine. The more any upgrades, cargo, and riders weigh, the smaller your max tire size will be. There’s also a good chance that your 28″ tires will run a little smaller once installed, and if that’s the case, you’re less likely to have issues with rubbing.
You’ll have to take all that stuff into account and make an educated guess. We’ve seen people run 28″ tires OK and we’ve seen people have a bad time with rubbing. And if it rubs, it’ll be the rear tires rubbing on the back of your footwell. If it rubs, a little trimming there can be an acceptable solution for some, so consider that as well.
Sorry I couldn’t give you a straight answer on this one, but hopefully that helps!
I have a Polaris Ranger with 25x10x12 on the front and 25x11x25 on the rear and they need to be replaced. I’m finding package deals for the same rear tire but a 25x8x12 for the front…will this be ok…Will it drive different? We use this for mainly garden and yard work what would the best tire tread be to not tear up the yard…..thank you
Hey Amy. I’m guessing you’ve got a 12×6 wheel in the front. The 25x8x12 will fit, but going with a narrower tire will cause you to tear up your yard more. You’ll want to try to stick with a 10″ wide tire for that setup so that you can run a lower tire pressure and get a larger contact patch, all of which will prevent it from digging into your turf.
Honestly, getting new wheels with a new set of tires will save you a lot frustration. I’d recommend putting the same 14×7 inch wheels like ours in all four corners of your machine.
There are a gazillion tires out there designed to fit 14″ wheels, and you’ll be able to get dirt cheap deals with whatever tread pattern you want. And you can keep a spare tire on hand that will fit both the front and rear if you have a blow out.
When it comes to gentle tire treads, the Maxis Bighorn is a good choice. Our AT Warrior Tires are great for that too, plus you’ll have better traction if you spend any time on roads or gravel paths. There are tons of 14″ tire options out there though, and any tire with short, tightly packed lugs will suit you well. I’m not sure what exactly what Ranger you have, so you’ll need to find out maximum tire diameter you can fit on your specific machine before you go this route.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Kavan,
This is a great forum and I need your advice. I have a 2006 Polaris 700 XP Ranger UTV. It came with Carlisle 26 x 8R x 12 in the front and 26 x 10R x 12 in the rear. After a bad puncture in the front, I’m thinking of getting some used tires and wheels: 26 x 8 x 14 for the front and 26 x 10 x 14 for the rear. Will this be OK to make the change? Also, what if I only changed out the front tires and wheels with the 26 x 8 14 and left the original 26 x 10R x 12 tires and wheels in the rear. Would that work? Thanks for answering my two questions!
Hey Richard! Either of those setups would work for you. But there are a couple things you should consider.
First, if the “new” set of tires is in considerably better shape or has a significantly different tread pattern than the original set, it’s probably worth changing all four. The uneven grip levels could make it a challenge to drive in certain conditions.
Second, your original 26 x 10R x 12 will give you a slightly smoother ride than a 26 x 10 x 14. That’s just because there’s more space between the wheel and the ground. In practice, the difference is only slight.
If you’ve got a good deal on a whole new set, I’d say go for it. You can always hang onto your original set for spares and try swapping out the rears to see what feels best to you.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks for such an expert and professional opinion. You raised some issues I hadn’t even considered. This has been a big help, Kavan so thank you very much!
No problem Rich. Let us know if you have any other questions.
what a great forum! We have an old 1999 honda 400ex in need of tires and new wheels. The tires are 21×7.00-10 and AT 22×11-8
I’d appreciate just being told what size tires and wheels to purchase :) Our girls just use it for fun around the property.
thank you!
I have a Honda Recon 250 with 22x9x10 and 22×7-11 would I be able to get 24s? All I want to know is the biggest possible tire I can get without a lift kit or anything and without having to get new rims and just using the stock rims?
Hi folks. My Yamaha Kodiak 450 came originally with 25×8-12 tires in front and 25×10-12 in the rear. It is a 2WD/4WD atv. I want to put 26×9-12 on the front and 27×9-12 on the rear. In 2WD I know there will be no issue. In 4WD when all four wheels are pulling would there be an issue due to the size difference?
Hey Pete. Mismatching tires is a bad idea for the exact reason you’ve noted. It’ll make your 4wd work overtime since your front wheels will always be turning faster than your rear wheels. And you’re likely to blow up your differential every time you engage or disengage it.
I have a Polaris Ranger 1000. On it I have 26. 9. 12 tires and rims. Can I use a 26 8 14 tire/rim as a spare.?
Hey Joe, you shouldn’t have any big issues using that tire as a spare to get back to your garage. You wouldn’t want to run it long term, as the weight difference would put uneven stresses on your diff and transmission (I’d avoid using 4wd if I had it installed on the front) but in a pinch, you should be good. The difference in width could make handling weird if you have them on the front too.
I have a 2019 Brute Force 750i EPS. Stock tires are 25x8x12 in front and 25x10x12 in rear. Was thinking of going 26x9x12 all the way around. Any issues? Dumb? BTW I am new the the ATV world.
Hey Justin. Welcome to ATV town. The stock tires on an ATV are generally the max tire size possible without rubbing. If you go up to 29″, they will probably rub on your footwells when you hit bumps, but that’s nothing a little trimming can’t help with. The fronts could rub when turning hard too, and that’s a little tougher to trim for.
When you add an inch to a tire, it only gets half an inch closer to your fenders and footwells, so any interference you run into would be fairly minor even if you didn’t trim anything. Still, the sound of tires rubbing on plastic and the smell of burning rubber every time you hit a big enough bump isn’t something I’d be satisfied with personally.
The only other thing you need to watch out for is the width on the rear. I don’t know the width of the stock rear rims, but with 10″ wide tires, I’d guess it’s 8″ wide. If I’m right, that should work with the 9″ wide tires you’re looking at, but their profile will be a bit different and you’ll have to be diligent about keeping the tire pressure high.
It’s definitely doable! And it ain’t dumb if it works! Good luck!
Hi Folks, I have a 2016 Polaris 570 Sportsman Touring SP and I recently put a set of Sedona Rip-Saws on it, 26X9R14’s on the front and 27x11R14’s on the rear and the rears now rub when I twoup with a passenger. The Powersports dealer that sold me them said having the 27’s on the rear should be no problem for it, but that is just not the case. What would you recommend to eliminate the rubbing? Would a set of tire spacers work? And could anyone recommend some if you believe that would eliminate the rubbing. The rears are spec’d for 26x11R14’s so I only went up 1” from stock.
Hey Greg. Yep, ATVs are pretty much maxed out from the factory. Depending on where it rubs on your setup, you could replace your footwells with something like this to give you more clearance: https://www.wildboaratvparts.com/cart/sportsman-450-570-floorboards. They would definitely work.
But it sounds like you’re really close to getting them to fit. You might just want to trim a little bit of the plastic that’s rubbing and call it a day. That’s faster and cheaper (apart from a potential hit to the resale value).
Either way, adding wheel spacers will probably not help unless it only rubs on the inside of the wheel.
Thanks for reading!
Hey Kavan, it is actually only rubbing on the inside of the rear tires, so I am going to add the wheel spacers on the rears and see it that does the trick! Thanks again for the advice!
I have a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 850 with 26×10-14 on the rear and 26×8-14 on the front. They’re kind of hard to come by. Would I be able to put 26×11-14 on the rear and 26×9-14s on the front without needing new rims?
Thanks,
Hey Shaun. That should be just fine. It’ll change the profile of your tire a little bit to make them slightly stouter. The difference should be really small though. Thanks for reading!
was looking to go bigger on my 2015 polaris 570 sportsman efi – has 8×25-12 front and 10×25-12 stock – dont want to lift and dont want any rub but open to 4 +3 wheels if that will allow me to fit 27×9-12 and 27×11-12, otherwise found 26×8-12 and 26×10-12 that im hoping would require nothing else.
anyone think the 27’s would work with wheels and if not are the 26’s a safe bet? OR WOULD YOU RECCOMMEND SOMETHING ELSE
Thanks,
Mike
I have 2022 honda pioneer 700-4 w/ 25×10-12’s, how much taller of a tire can I go with on these stock wheels and not rub on chasis?
thanks, Mike
Hey Mike. You should be able to fit 26-inch tires on your 700. You might even be able to fit 27s if they run a little short or you keep them a little flat. Probably better to go with 26 though. Thanks for reading!
no, there is no real standard for wheel/tire sizes. “normal” car tire sizes, example 205/60-16 is not “metric” car tire size. it is just one of the ways manufacturers tell the tire size. that size has millimeters, percents and alson inches. metric value in that kind of information is only that width. there is none real standard for tire sizes. and yes, should be. it should be full metric because it is international and scientific standard and it should have also have speed-limits, weight-limits and so on.. maybe a “footprint” type also. it would very well fasten everybody’s searchs for right tires they want.
Polaris ranger 570 full size with 26x9r-11r-12 r want to go with 28’s will there be a problem also 2.5” lift
Hey Eric. That’ll be close, but the 28s should fit with a 2.5″ lift On a Ranger XP 570 based on our measurements with our own 3″ lift. It depends a little bit on what kind of lift you have too. A spring spacer lift won’t give you the same tire clearance as a bracket life, so keep that in mind.
Hello, I have a 2016 polaris 570 xp atv. it has 27x9x14 tires on all 4 rims, can i replace the rear tires with 27 x11x14 tires?
Hey Wayne. Putting a wider tire on should be OK. It’ll change the profile of your tire some and cause it to balloon out on the sides a little more. But you shouldn’t notice any change to your ride in general. Thanks for reading!
I have a 2003 Artic Cat 300 4×4 ATV. The original 19 year old tires are still on the machine! It has 24x9x12 on the front and 25x10x12 on the rear. The front tires need replacement. The rear tires are in reasonably good shape (3/8 tread, no cracks or tears). I would like to move the rear tires to the front. Than buy new 26x10x12 or 27x10x12 to go on the rear. Will this plan work? The extra ground clearce would be nice in the snow.
Hey Greg, Changing the front and rear tire sizes can get pretty tricky. It will affect the performance of your four-wheel drive to some extent, and that’s why I’d recommend going with 26″ tires in the rear to keep the front-to-rear ratio as similar to stock as possible.
That’s all assuming those tire sizes will fit at all on your machine. I think you’re gonna need some spring spacers to fit those tires or else you could trim some plastic (it’s usually the footwells that get in the way first). Good luck! Sometimes you need a little on these projects!
Good day! I have a 2014 canam outlander and want a better tire for plowing. My issue is stock is 26 x 8 R12 (front) and 26×10 R12 (Rear). My supplier however does not give me much of an option for this particular tire. I don’t care (have a desire) in going bigger, but not sure, I think I would be ok by going 1″ smaller in width for the rear. so I would be running 26 x 9 x 12 all the way around the bike. Am I ok with this?
That should be fine, Steve, as long as the wheel is narrow enough to accept a 1″ narrower tires and seal the bead. I left my 2014 Outlander in my other pants, so I’m not sure what wheel width that comes with, but I don’t foresee any issues as long it’s 8 or fewer inches wide. Good question!
I’ve got stock carlisle trail wolf 25-8-12 front and 25-11-12 rear tires on my 2016 canam outlander 570 L. I assume I can go up a size to 26-9-12 front and 26-11-12 rear . Is that correct? Thanks.
Hey Joel, you shouldn’t break anything as long as they don’t rub. ATVs tend to run pretty dang close to their max tire size with stock tires, so 1″ bigger could rub on your footwells if you don’t trim them or get a small lift or something. Every ATV is a little different, so your results may very, but everything else about that setup looks good to me. Good luck!
I’m running a 2014 arctic cat alterra trv 550 with 25x8x12 fronts and 25x10x12 rear looking at 27x9x12 fronts and 27x11x12 rear will these work?
Hey Ryan, those tires will probably rub on your machine. You might get away with it if you trim some of your plastic where it rubs, but you’ll probably feel it on every bump. If you want to run 27s, without rubbing, you’re gonna need a lift, and even then I’m guessing you’ll have to trim around the back of the footwell. Quads’ stock tires usually come pretty close to maxing out the tire size.
I have a 2021 Trail S 1000 Ultimate and am looking to replace the stock 2xx9x12 (F) and 27x11x12 (R) I would like to get 2021 XP 1000 stock 29x9x14 (F) and 29x11x14 (R) . I called our local UTV store and they said it shouldn’t be a problem?
Hey Jennifer. Our measurements show that 29″ tires should fit on the Trail S without rubbing. You should be good to go!
Hello,
I have a 21×7-10 tire that I want to put on rims that are 10×5 3B+2N 4/144. Will they fit?
That should be OK, Armando. A 7-inch tire on a 5-inch rim is a good ratio for a tightly-sealed bead that doesn’t deform the profile of the tire much.
I have a 2015 Can Am 500 L Max , I would like to replace the stock 25 x8 x12 fronts and 25×10 x 12 rears on 7 inch rims , with 26 x9 fronts and 26×11 rears on a 12x 8 rim. What do you think ?
Hey Rich. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to clear 26″ tires. We haven’t measured it ourselves, but it’s definitely gonna be tight. Your tire clearance also depends on the condition of your shocks. If it doesn’t quite clear, the most likely place they’ll rub is right behind the footwells. A little trimming goes a long way there.
I have a MSU 500 UTV. Stock rear tire is 26×10-12. Can I change rear tires to 26×11-12?
Hey Gary, I’m not sure what the stock wheel width on that one is, but an inch wider tire should be OK. It’ll make the profile of your tire look a little different than stock, so you might not get all 26 inches you’re expecting. But I’d be really surprised if you had any real issues with that setup.
Hello. I am working on a Kawasaki Mule 600. Stock front tires are 22×9-10 , I am looking to change to a different size, as there are some better deals at other tire sizes. I am just not sure what is my best option. I found some 22×8-10’s and some 22×10-10’s. Would either size work potentially. I am more leaning toward the 22×8’s. Any input would be appreciated.
Hey Shaun, either should work fine. Their profile will be a little different though. The 8s should stand up a little straighter, and the 10s should be a little squatter, but won’t make a huge difference, but it’s just something to think about. The beads on the 10s will also be a little more secure, but that shouldn’t be an issue on the Mule.
Hello Kavan,
I was wondering if you could help me. I have a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO with 26x8x12 on front, and 26x11x12 on back.
A lot of the tires out there only offer 26x9x12, so wondering if I could change the fronts to that size? I am changing from stock tires to some Kenda Bear Claws if possible.
Thank you!
Hey John, that would be absolutely fine. You might notice that your 26×9 looks a little taller once you have it installed since it’ll get squeezed by your wheel a little more, but it shouldn’t be enough to make any real difference. Enjoy the upgrade!
my stock tires are 22x7x10 and 22x10x10 can i go to to either a 22x11x10 for the rear or a 23x10x10 with no issues?
It depends on what machine you’ve got. 23″ tires might be a little too tight for an ATV and rub on the back of the footwell. You can fix that with trimming, or maybe it’ll clear without issues. But you shouldn’t have any issues with either tire otherwise.
It is a yamaha bear tracker. Do you think I would be better off going with a 22x11x10. The stock size is 22x10x10 but having a hard time finding anything that size.
Thanks for the reply
Yeah. If your goal is to replace them easily and not necessarily to go bigger, stick with the 22″ diameter tires. The 11″ width will be practically unnoticeable compared to stock’s 10″ width.
I have a stock 26x8x12 front and 26x10x12 back on my 19 wolverine. Could I put new tires and rims with a 28x19xR15 tire on the rims are Hurricane Wheel 15×7 5.0 + 2.0 offset Matte Black. thanks in advance for your opionion
Hey Craig, we were able to clear 28″ tires on our 2019 Wolverine without issues, so you should be totally fine. It’s getting tight at 28″ though. If your suspension sags, you might rub in the front when you hit bumps or make tight turns. Otherwise, I don’t see any issues with that setup or offset… assuming you meant 9″ wide tires and not 19″ wide tires haha.
I want to replace the 20-8 x 8NHS rear tires on my riding mower with ATV tires. The 2 choices are 20 7 8 or 20 10 8. Which is better?
For that setup, I’d probably go with the 7″ wide tire. The reason is that 10″ is getting pretty big for you wheel (which I’m assuming is around 6″ wide) and would be extremely difficult to mount. Going with 10″ would also cause some odd bulging that could make your mower’s traction and ride quality worse. That’s all if your wheel is 6″ wide. If your wheel is 7″ wide, then the 10″ tire will be the better fit.
I just bought a 2023 Teryx4 S LE. Stock tires are 27x9x14 (front) and 27x11x14 (back). Would I be able to add 29x9x14 and 29x11x14 without any rubbing? I know I can add the ATLAS PRO 1.5″ FORWARD OFFSET A-ARMS to make sure, but didn’t know if I would need to add the rear a-arms as well or would be fine with just adding the front? Also, would increasing the tire size by two inches essentially raise the total height of the machine by tow inches? It already barely fits in my garage height wise! Thanks!
Hey Derek, we can fit 31″ tires on the rear of our Teryx4 S without rubbing. Unfortunately, 27″ is as good as it gets on the front without rubbing, so you’ll definitely need some forward offset A-arms.
Installing tires that are 2″ larger will raise your machine by just 1″ since 1″ is at the top of your tire and 1″ is at the bottom. So a little taller, but not too bad!
Hi!
I have some sandals that I made from an ATV tire and the rubber is about 1/2″ thick. I’m looking for more similar material to work with but the tires I see online don’t list the thickness and they aren’t answering my questions . Can you tell me are all ATV tires about that thick? I’m talking about the part the touches the ground.
Thank you!
Bret
2010 Polaris Ranger RZR 800. Stock tires are 25/10/12 rear and 25/8/12 front. I put 1” wheel spacers front and rear so over width of bike is approximately 53”. I tried a 2” lift couple years ago to gain some ground clearance but it caused premature wear in bushings. I have now removed the lift and would like to regain some ground clearance by increasing the tire and or rim sizes. I prefer to keep the stock rims due to keep cost down and also avoid suspension mods. Do you have any recommendations?
Hi Bret! That’s an interesting question. It’s all going to depend on the tire’s type: mud, all-terrain, or sand. Different tires will have different types of lugs for different purposes and all those lugs and tire types have different tread depths. Every tire is going to be different, so no—all ATV tires are not 1/2″ thick. If you’re making a sandal, you’ll probably want to search out an all-terrain tire since the lugs will be more consistent and easier to walk on. For example, our all-terrain Warrior XT Tires start with 1″ tread depth.
I have a 2015 Polaris 570 Crew XP and am looking into getting 27x9x12 on the front and 27x11x12 on the rear and was wondering if I will have any issues with rubbing or clutch issues? I’ve read that you could put stress on the clutch with bigger tires and also take away all the power and torque from the machine? Thanks in advance.
Justin
Hey Justin. You are absolutely right. Adding bigger tires can definitely affect torque. The machine has to work harder to turn the bigger tires at the same speed, so you lose some power and lower your top speed. That can put additional stress on all your drivetrain components, including the clutch. But I do think you’ll be in the clear as far as rubbing goes!
With a 2″ increase in tire size, you’ll still be pretty close to stock specs and shouldn’t be significantly impacted by a loss of power, but you could notice some changes. You can check out our portals if you’re looking for a gear reduction that could help you get back to stock power and protect your drivetrain. https://www.superatv.com/utv-portal-gear-lift
I was talked into 9s with a spacer on the front of my 2006 polaris 800, previousy 8. I dont like how it turns now.. So I was going to purchase new 8s for the front. My question is are the new 9’s I have on front now too narrow to put on the rear. Currently the rear has stock 11s. I pull a trailer on the road and on rare occasions push snow with it. Thank you
Hi Chad, I don’t think the 9’s will be horrible or anything, but if you’re pushing snow and/or pulling a trailer, you might appreciate the improved traction wider tires can offer. It’s really up to you though! You could give it a try and you could always go back or switch depending on your needs—or if you totally hate the way the thing feels after.
I have a 2018 RZR 4door stock tires are 27x9x12 front and 27x11x12 rear. Can I put 27x9x12 on all 4 tires?
Hi Dana, Yes you can do that. Just be aware that a more narrow tire may impact how your machine handles. Narrow tires have less surface area and are less grippy overall.
Got a 2006 Grizzly 660. Looking at switching to 12×7 4+3 wheels for all 4 wheels and 26x9x12 for all 4 tires. Any issues with this? Will the 9″ tire on 7″ rim stay seated correctly with the recommended air pressure of 4.5-5psi?
Hey Imcad, That should work fine. A general rule of thumb is to keep your rims 1-4 inches narrower than the width of your tires. A 9″ tire on a 7″ rim should be no problem. In fact, a 2″ difference is a sweet spot, so it should work really well. This is because the extra width will help protect your rims from bumps that could bounce your tire loose.
I have a 2013 Polaris Scrambler 850. The tires i have on it are 27×9.00r15 and 27×11.00r15 Can anyone tell me what car tire sizes will fit the rims?
I have a Honda Pioneer 700 with stock 25x8x10 tires on the front and 25x10x12 on the back. My SxS’s width just fits on my 10′ trailer with no room to spare on width.
What is the tallest tire size that I can go with that will not add anymore width? For example, could I go with a 26x9x12 or a 27x8x12 all the way around? Thank you in advance!
Hi Will! Thanks for reading. That’s a more complicated question than it seems on its face. The most important factor here is the wheel width. Since you’ve got 10″ wide wheels on the back and your Pioneer barely fits, don’t go for anything wider. Depending on the wheel, it’ll offset your tires a bit and may make the squeeze onto your trailer difficult or impossible.
The biggest tires you can get without rubbing are 27″. You might be able to get 28″ tires on there with a little rubbing if your suspension isn’t shot, but even then, you might need a little trimming (not ideal).
Hi, I have 27X11-12 on my tires currently, can I replace them with 26X11-12?
Hi Aasif! Going a little bit smaller shouldn’t be a problem. Thanks for reading!
Looking for your advice I have a 2021 Yahama Kodiak 450 that has 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 rear. My question is, I would like to go bigger without having to change additional parts , like clutches…etc.
I found some tires I like that are a Set of 4 New Premium WANDA ATV/UTV Tires 27×9-12 Front & 27×12-12 Rear /6P Super Lug Mud
Will these bolt on without any additional modifications?
Hi John—great question. Theoretically, the 27″ tires will fit, but I do think you could see problems that would require modifications. From conversations I’ve seen around the Yamaha forums, the 27-inchers will rub in the front, especially on sharp turns or when the machine is weighed down/the shocks are compressed. Depending on how heavy you are and if you’re carrying a second passenger or a cooler, that could make for an annoying ride. And I don’t know how you like to ride, but if you’re trying to crank bigger tires in deep mud with no other modifications, you could put a lot of stress on your axles, clutch, diff, etc, etc, that could require pricey and inconvenient repairs down the line.
TLDR; I’m against the 27″ tires, but it really depends on you and how you ride.
Hi there, I have a 2011 Polaris Trail Boss 330 and the stock tires are shot and I want to install new taller tires.
I want to install 25 X 8-12 in the front and 25 X 11-10 in the rear can I do that without having any issues with the new tires rubbing?
The stock tire size is 23 X 8-12 in the front and 22 X 11-10 in the rear.
Thank you for your help on this question.
I ordered 19X8-8 tires for my grand kids Honda 90. They sent me 20X7-8 tires. Will they work or do I need to send them back.
Hey Tim, it depends on what the width of your wheels are, but usually narrowing your tires by 1 inch is OK as long as they’re still 1–2 inches wider than your wheels. They’ll be harder to mount and will sit a little differently, but it won’t make much of a difference in practice. Thanks for the question!
Hey everyone – I’m in a quandary. I have a 2005 Arctic Cat 500 TRV that we’re looking for another set of wheels but, the stock sizes are Front: 25×8-12 and Rear: 25×11-12. I’m having a heck of a time finding wheels of this size. We simply want another set to put turf tires on and they don’t need to be fancy. What are my options for other wheel sizes that would still be a good fit for the ATV but actually be usable with our machine? We want to save our grass but use the ATV for moving sometimes heavy stuff like a trailer with wood in it. Thanks!
Hi Jenn! Thanks for reading. This is a complicated question. If you’re looking for specific product recommendations, I’d encourage you to post your question on Wildcat Forums. They’re obsessed with Artic Cat and you might have more luck getting specific info from them. https://www.wildcatforums.net/
When looking for tires, you have options other than the stock sizes. You should be able to fit up to 29″ tires on the ’05 TRV without making changes to the suspension. However, the 500 TRV isn’t the most powerful machine, so you might see a difference in performance if you go that big—and the lugs may rub on tight turns.
I’d encourage you to include 27″ tires in your search and maybe 28″. That’ll give you a wider variety of tires to choose from as you’re searching. Happy hunting!
I have a 2023 Ranger 1000 EP. 25X11-12 on the rear and 25X10-12 on the front. Can I go with 27X11R-12 on all four corners? Thanks.
Hi Daniel! Thanks for reading. I see no reason 27’s wouldn’t work. People put 28’s on fairly often. 28’s are the biggest you can go without spacers or a lift.
Hello! 2023 Can Am Commander xt700 with stock 28 inch tires. I would like to replace with 30x10x14 Terrabites on all four. After checking around I have been told there will be no rubbing issues and plenty of clearance. Do you think this configuration will cause performance issues or problems?
Looking for new tires for my 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP. Current Carlisle tires are just not tough enough. My son’s Yamaha has Maxxis and they seem to last. Looking at the Bighorn 3.0 at a size of 26 X 9 – 14 for front and 26 X 11 – 14 for the rear. Current tires are same as OEM size at 26 X 8 – 14 and 26 X 10 – 14. Wheels are Original Equipment. Do you see any issue getting the tires on the rim with the extra 1 inch width? Any issues with performance? I am guessing from the previous comments that there should be no issues but just confirming. I’ll be doing the work myself…thanks…Rich
I have a Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring ATV and the left front got a nail in it. The shop repaired the tire, but it must still have a minor leak as when I check pressure that tire is always lower. I do not want to get stuck on a trail here in Nevada so was looking for a tire. I have CST AT26X8-14 tire on the machine now and I have been looking for a tire but even CST web site doesnt have that size tire. Just how wide can I go with the stock rims? There isnt a name on the tire so not sure how to get another on like it but if I have to buy two new ones thats OK but again hard to find that size.
Hi Robert, thanks for this question! A good rule of thumb is to keep your rims between 1 and 4 inches skinnier than your tires. Your tires actually have to be wider than your rims for them to seat properly. You should be able to install 9, 10, 11, or 12 inch tires on your rims without a problem, but you should make sure they won’t rub when you turn. Tires that are 2 inches wider than your rims are the sweet spot, in my opinion. You’ll definitely want to change both tires at the same time though! Hopefully that gives you more options for replacement tires.
Hey team, I have a 2017 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 currently fitted with 26×9-R12 (Front) and 26×11-R12 (rear). I’ve been gifted a brand new rear set of Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 however they are 27×11-R12, would I be able to run a 26″ front set and a 27″ rear or am I just asking for problems?
Thanks
Hi Andrew, thanks for reading! You should have no problems with running 27″ rear tires. In fact, some folks prefer to run taller tires on the rear. I recommend you install them and ride for a few days to see if you enjoy the new feel.
Hey! I have a 350 Honda rancher with 24×9-11 rear and 24×8-12 front stock would I be able to fit 26×11-14 and 26×9-14 without having to modify anything?
Hi Devon, thanks for reading! I don’t think you’ll have enough clearance in the wheel wells, especially at full compression, which is my primary concern. You will probably be able to fit the tires on your Rancher, but I’m not sure turning is going to be fun.
Hi Sara,
I’ve got a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS with stock 25×8-12 front and 25×10-12 rear.
Two question:
Can I move up to 26×9-12 front and 26×11-12 rear without rubbing?
Will the bigger/wider tires make the ATV too wide for the 50″ wide local trails? (stock Polaris width is 48″)
Hi Dave, Thanks for reading!
As far as the rubbing goes, I think you’ll be okay as long as your Sportsman isn’t weighed down a ton. If you’ve got a heavy rider, a passenger, or an extremely heavy cooler/cargo box you may experience some rubbing at full compression. Same thing if you ride through areas with deep ruts or extremely uneven terrain. Basically, you’ll be at risk for rubbing during full suspension compression or steering lock. Nothing too crazy!
It’s unlikely that the upgrade to 26×9-12 front and 26×11-12 rear will push the width over 50 inches, but it could be close depending on the tire manufacturer and tread design. You should measure the actual width after installation to ensure compliance with local trail width restrictions.
Hi,
I have 24 x 11 x10 rear tyres.
Cani go smaller and what sizes
Hi Sara,
2006 Sportsman 500 EFI

Can I go with 26×9-R12 on the front tires?
Hey George,
I recommend sticking to what stock lists!
I have a 2011 can am commander tires on it right now are 27 x 11 R 14 looking at 26 x 9 R 14 will these work on it
Hey Stacy, thanks for reaching out! Yes, a 26 x 9 tire should fit. The smaller tire will have a slightly lower profile that may affect ground clearance and performance. If you have further questions or want to speak with a technician you can give us a call! 812.574.7777
Mr dave I have a1998 Honda 300. Stock tires on front are 23×11-8 I want to put 22×11-8 back on the front is that a problem.
Hi Dave, thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can put 22 x 11-8 tires on the front. You’ll want to make sure that there’s enough clearance in the wheel wells. If you have more technical questions, give us a call! 812.574.7777

Honda rancher has 24-9-11 rear and 24-8-12 front. Can I put 24-9-11 on front as well?
Hello David,
You shouldn’t have any problems running a 24x9x11 on your front!
Is there any difference in height of 24-9-11 and 24-8-12 ?
Will a 20x8x8 tire work to replace a 19x7x8 tire?
Hey Chaz,
A 20x8x8 tire can replace a 19x7x8, but it’ll be 1 inch taller and 1 inch wider. Just make sure you have enough clearance and that it won’t affect your ride or performance.
I’ve got a 2019 Honda Rancher 420 4×4. 24×8-12 front and 24×10-11 back are the stock sizes. Im wanting to keep the stock rims and bump up to a 25 inch tire as well as put a 10 inch wide tire on the front to match the back tire width. Not an aggressive rider. Mainly used for normal chores on a hunting lease and around the house. Would you for-see any issues with bumping up the tire size and front width with stock rims?
Hey Stephen,
Bumping up to 25-inch tires should be fine on your Rancher, especially since you’re not riding aggressively. The only thing to watch is putting 10-inch wide tires on the front—your stock rims are likely too narrow, which could cause the tires to wear unevenly. A 9-inch front tire might be a better fit if you want the extra width without issues.
I have a 1992 Suzuki Quadrunner with 25 X 10 X 12 tires on the back. I have a set of 27 X 12 X 12 tires on rims. Can I use them on my Quadrunner?
Hi Ken,
Sure, you can use them, but they’re a bit bigger, so they might rub or change how it handles a bit.
Polaris 800 rzr stock comes:
Front: 25 x 8-12
Rear: 25 x 10-12
Can I put without lift front 27 x 10-12 rear 27 x 12-12?
Hey Luke,
You can probably fit them, but expect possible rubbing—especially at full turn or compression. We definitely recommend adding a small lift.
