26 inch kenda executioners

So I’m ordering a set of 26x10x12 kenda executioners. I’m thinking of running tens all around. The site says they weight 33 lbs. And have heard on here they tend to run smaller then listed. They are going on my Kodiak 450. No clutch mods just aftermarket air filter and fresh carb clean. I will be installing a pipe and jet kit soon. Will the tires be too much weight on my wheeler? They are going on stock wheels with 45mm spacers. I also have a 2 inch lift to throw in as well. I do ride in some sticky north Dakota clay. Also is there a benefit to running tens on all 4s or should I bump to twelves on the back ?? Can’t decide

2014 stock alumin front rim price

I have had a wobble in my handle bars ever since i got my big horns mounted..well today while changing the diff fliud i got looking at the inside of the rim and one side on the front is bent all to hell..it looks like who ever put the tire on bent it with the tire changing machine..and not just a little bit..when i spin it and watch it it is all over the place. I can see 4 distinct marks where the tire machine arms have grabbed and bent the rim while holding it..so my question is How much is a stock aluminum rim going to cost me at the dealer? or am i better off buy a whole nother set of take off rims and tires as they come avaiable on kijiji. Thanks

bighorn knockoffs / going up a tire size

Does anyone have any experience with bighorn knockoffs? I know I’m going to need new tires, but I’m also trying not to spend $500 unless I absolutely have to.

I had Tusk Trilobite HD’s from rocky mt atv on my old big bear, but only for a month before I sold it. They seemed to be all I needed in a tire, but the reason I ask is because I seem to keep reading that Bighorns last forever (case in point the most recent BH thread in this forum). I know theres also a Duro tire that is priced between the Tusk and the Maxxis. Probably some others with similar tread pattern around. Also not sure if I even really need radials? I dont do much road riding, and don’t you have to balance radials? My tusks I just slapped them on and went, though the big bear only went 35 mph, so maybe I will notice if whatever tire I put on is not balanced?

Hell, I’m not even set on that tread pattern, but I know it seemed to do what I wanted. I dont mud bog, I use my bike around the farm/ to check fields (corn stalks can be really hard on tires if you cant ride down the rows) and trail ride. But the Tusks were a great price for that tread pattern and what I wanted them to do.

Also debating going up to a 26" tire. Does that require clutch work? I have a 660, how much will I notice the drag if I go up an inch size on my tires? I can’t imagine it would be much, this bike seems to have all the power I need. But at the same time, I dont want to get them and then find out I really do need to do some clutch work. (for reference I’m 190 lbs)

sorry for the story, but I know you guys have experienced some of these things so I hope someone can shed some light.

Zillas got me out……

…to a road that is.. So my gf and I are 23miles from the truck and I get a flat, no pump! She and I rode that thing 20+ miles completely flat! Very rocky terrain hilly, mudy.. We rode to a road and got rescued, By the time we got to the road the tire was off the rim (obviously) when I got home I plugged the small hole in the sidewall and In the morning (if there is still air in there) things will be great! Hard to believe I can drive 20 miles on a flat tire and it isn’t destroyed!

side note* I was running 4.5 psi with two people, do you think I should of had more ?
