I have a 93′ Honda 300 Fourtrax with these size tires on it currently.

24×9-11 (rear)
23×8-11 (front)

I am in the process of searching out new tires all the way around. My question is…. "Did this bike come with smaller diameter (23") tires in the front, as compared to the rear diameter of 24". Is this the way it is supposed to be. It seems like it would give the front axle a lower gear ratio than the rear.

I was thinking of buying

24×9-11 (rear)
24×8-11 (front) There is plenty of clearance for them.

Is this okay and recommended, or what’s the scoop on this?

Oh, and I am new here and will post a new member introduction soon.
