14 vs 12 need more help

Thanks to all that help me on my tire decision i also have another question.l have the opportunity to change my wheel size aswell.l have done a bit of research on here about what both sizes offer but still unsure as to what best suits me.l do prefer the look if the 14 I do like to ride fast and corner.l also ride very hard tactical terrain aswell .l know the larger sidewall makes for a better ride.ls the 14 alright for tactical ruding aswell? I ride trails,some mud not much,forestry roads and hill climb pretty much all kinda terrain except sand.lm not gonna pop a bra for bend a rim in the hard rock trails because of less sidewall? Right? Please let me know thanks guys/gals!!

I’m waiting for my wheels and tire to come and originaly I ordered wheels with the big horn 2.0’s I see a lot of members with the og’s.ls one better then the other?l personally like the look of the 2.0 but haven’t seen the og’s in person so it’s hard to tell.My riding consists of rough terrain and forestry roads I’m not huge into mudding but will do a little muffing nothing crazy.lm more into trail riding and some tactical and hill climbing.Is one tire better then the other?Or is the 2.0 a good tire aswell.Thanks and your input is appreciated!!

Looking for soft/smooth riding tires

I recently purchased a 2012 Grizzly 550 with about 1800 miles. It currently has almost new Deestone Swampwitch tires (25×8-12 and 25×10-12). I HATE them!!! They aren’t wearing out at all, and they dig into the ground well, but it feels like I’m riding on solid rubber wheels. I slowly let air out of them until they started to give a little, and when I checked the pressure, it was about .5 psi. I think these things are almost run-flats……My riding is mellow and on hard, rocky ground, and grass fields. I almost never see mud or snow. I’m looking for SOFT riding tires (for my old back), but all the reviews I see talk about mud and snow. Does anyone have a suggestion for soft riding tires that are not going to chew up the ground (I want to ride across my grassland without ripping it up). Thanks for your suggestions.

Affirmations and opinions

Hello, all – I’m just looking for a little feedback in making sure I’m understanding everything correctly. I stated in my introduction post that I’d like to put some wheels and tires on my new to me Grizz 700 eps to widen the stance a bit (especially up front). I got a lot of input already from folks.
After a few weeks of researching, I think I’ve decided on ITP SS212’s (12×7/5+2), Bearclaw htr 26x9x12 (front), 26x11x12 (rear).
That should give me roughly 2" more in the front and 1" in the rear, correct?
Any opinions or advice would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Andy

Any suggestions

2009 ESP 700. I can’t make up my mind – ITP BajaCross Radial or Blackwater Evo. Current stock tires are 25’s and I am considering 26 9 12 and 26 11 12. Desert hard pack and rocky gravel slopes. I had a 600 Polaris with Grim Reapers and really liked them, so that is also a consideration. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
