I just got new 26" Maxxis Zillas this morning, and I was wondering how much clearance everyone has between the inside of the front tires and the tie rod ends?
I don’t seem to have very much clearance at all. maybe 1/4".
Think that will be a problem? What does everyone recommend that I do?
I was thinking wheel spacers would be my best bet, but I Have heard horror stories about wheel spacers.
I have 2012 Touring 850 and I put 26x11x14 Grim Reapers on the back. My first radials and I have to say at 6psi they get us through and up everything. The problem is they rub the rear foot rest support bar/mount everyone we hit a good bump.
If I use spacers they’ll stick out even more than they do.
can I cut a little metal off each side or just let the tires wear down?
Looking to get a set of new tires for my 2014 Polaris Sportsman 550, I want to try to keep the stock rims but having a hard time finding the same size tires. The rear is 26×10-14 and the front is 26×8-14 / Can I go bigger with out any issues? Recommended Size?? Looking for a woods / water / swamp tire. New to the forum so any information is great.
So I stepped up from the stock tires to a set of 28" evolutions. First impression is that these tires are gonna be awesome on the trail and the mud. Havent ridden much yet as I’m just completing all my upgrades. But my question to those of you that have them are what pressure are you running them at. A quick search shows 3-5 pounds on 27" tires. Anyone care to offer some advice. Thanks.
Has anyone run into this just picked up a set of 1" spacers for my 2014 XP 850 they all fit great and wheel bolted up no problem except the left rear not having a brake rotor on that side makes the studs a little longer and the now hit the rim before the rim contacts the hub it is slight maybe 1/16 th of a inch what have you guys done to find this grind the studs doe a little shave a bit off the back of the rim or add a couple washers not really to sure what would be best any advice would be great
Hey all, been gone from here lately playing with the Raptor. Wondering if there is any new info out on the 27" Maxxis Vipr tires and if they will fit on a Touring that already has the footrest bracket trimmed up. I read somewhere the Vipr’s measure out to 27.5" and I’m concerned it’s too big. My 26" bighorns have rubbed under big hits.

After getting more out of straight mudding and more into trails, light mud, and just general exploring. I sold my 27" Maxxis Mudzillas and after lots of research and help from everyone on here I picked up some 27" Kenda Bearclaw HTRs. First sight I could tell they were going to be a great tire, plenty of tread depth and tire pattern looked awesome in person! So I had to get them mounted, so after a quick bite for dinner, I loaded up the tires and wheels and back to work I went. Got them mounted, didn’t bother to balance, but if I drive it and can tell it needs it then I’ll pull them back off and balance them. Took them back to the house and got them mounted up. I grabbed a couple quick pictures, but by the time I got them mounted on the Sportsman it was too dark for a decent picture so I’ll get the Sportsman out this weekend and grab some pictures.
