I have decided to order Kenda Bearclaw HTRs for my 2011 Sportsman 800efi twin. When I went to order them I realized they do not offer my stock rear tire size. My bike came with 25x8x12 in front and 25x11x12 out back.
So my question is, should I go 25x8x12 and 25x10x12 and lose an inch of rear width, or go with 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 and gain an inch of height and an inch of front width?
I’ve read conflicting stories about tie rod clearance issues. I have just over half inch clearance now. I don’t mind doing a tie rod flip if needed but I don’t want to do spacers or 4×3 wheels due to my side by side atv truck rack.
Thank you for the input.
