tires question

Hey guys just bought my first atv it is a 2007 Sportsman 800. The tires that are on there are 26x8x12 front and 26x11x12 Rear. It needs tires and I was thinking about getting the maxxis bighorn 2.0. will those tires fit in that size? It just seems like everyone says they run a little bit bigger. Also it looks like i can’t get the fronts in 26×8 it is a 26×9? TIA

06 kodiak 450 transmission seized

Hey guys. First off thank you all, this site has helped me a bit. So I was mudding last weekend, had just gotten out of a hole and I heard a pop noise and it sounded as if to bog down and would barely move as if the brakes were applied before finally stopping with in 5 feet of when I initially heard the pop noise. Tried reverse went back a few feet and same thing, tried fwd again with same result. Shut it off and the rear tires would not roll fwd but would roll backwards. So my buddy towed me going backward for almost a mile and then we heard a bunch of metal grinding(sounded like a bunch of nuts rolling around in a can) and then the rear wheels locked up. Would not roll fwd or back. Had to go get a trailer and pick it up to load it on. Got back home and was able to push it off the trailer after nudging it fwd and backward a bunch of times. Then I started it up and it drove around the house no more than 40 yards Id say. Started it up today to pull it around to replace the front brakes and same thing happened as on the trail. No pop or noises. Just seems as thought brakes are applied and it bogs down. Motor revs up just fine. I checked the belt, belt is fine and within specs. This happens in reverse and high/low range without 4×4 engaged. I tried 4×4 and same thing happens. With the engine off, and it in neutral I put my ear near the transmission where the main drive shaft comes out to go back to the rear diff it sounds like clicking noises? Any ideas? I can barely afford parts so I’m trying to figure out how to best diagnose this thing without tearing apart stuff I don’t need to? What do I have to do to get into that part of the thing to see what this noise is about? Thanks for any suggestions.

High vs Low Range: DCT and ESP

When using either the auto mode or manual of the ESP, how do I tell when I should be in low or high range setting?

Is there a certain MPH cutoff? Obviously if I’m towing, going up a steep hill or pushing a plow I’m in low. I’ve read that on CVT type transmissions being in the proper range setting can prevent premature belt wear. Since the 2015 Foreman doesn’t use a belt I wanted to know if it’s as big of a deal…especially when using high range at low speeds.
