I have a 2014 Rancher that has the stock tires. I have actually thought that they weren’t as horrible as I thought that they would be, but I am planning ahead for upgrade time.
I do not mud. I enjoy trail riding best, no real mountains where I am, but there are paved roads that get used, as well as hard pack, loose dirt, small to large rocks, the occasional creek to cross, and the occasional mud puddle that is in the trail. The tires I want are Maxxis Bighorn Originals. I dig their capabilities and lifespan/value.
However, they run tall I am told and I want the 25" – which will be almost 26". I have never changed ATV tires at all so what loss can I expect over my stock 24"?
I will be replacing the rear wheels with ITP Deltas.
Thanks!
