I just replaced the tires on my 2013 500 sportsman with the same size as the ones as was on the quad since new…27x9x12 front and 27x12x12. Ran into issues with spacing on the front and got spacers. So I was just looking through specs for this machine and it calls for 25x8x12 and 25x10x12.

My question is why would my machine have the larger tires since new? I am now fearing that those tires are too heavy for the machine!
