Front end binding with new tires

I have an 2006 Rancher 350. We just bought new tires for the front. They are 25-8-12. The existing rear tires are 25-10-12. After we put the new tires on the front , the front end has started popping. What is the correct size tire on the rear do I need to buy to eliminate the binding ? Thanks for any help.

Tire Sizing vs. Power Question

Hello all! I have a 1990 TRX300FW that I want to upgrade the wheels and tires on and I definitely want to go with a 12" setup. Now, when upgrading to a larger wheel setup, do you notice a significant reduction in the machines ability to deliver sufficient power to the ground?

Or will that only happen if the actual diameter of the tire increases over what the stock diameter is?

Rancher tire choice

I’m fixin to get a rancher 350 here in about a week or so and i have been looking at what kind of tires I’m going to put on there, I really like the vampires and the mud life’s, but didn’t know how hard they were on the axles and was seeing what other tires might be better

Tire madness 300 fourtrax

O.K. I just picked up a 95 300 fourtrax. I want to put some new tires on it as it still has the original tires on it. The sizes are strange. The rear tire is 25×11-9 and the front are 23×8-11. So if I understand right.. this thing has a rear rim that is 9"? and a front rim that is 11"? And two" diff in height? The first # is how high? the second # is width and the last # rim size right? Whats with the tiny 9" rim on the back? Not many tires to pick from when I search. How much wider can I go from stock?

300 Fourtrax Front/Rear Tire Match-up Question

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.
