Any AC guys know what is the biggest wheel tire combo I can put on a 2007 TRV H1 without a lift kit? A friend of mine has a TBX and he said the biggest he can get on his is a 26x12 on the rear. The two machines are very similiar and the only real difference with his is the body in the rear. How much space should I allow between the fender and the tires? Any input is appreciated. Brian

The 07 TRV H1 comes with 25x8x12 on the front and 25x10x12 on the rear. I am thinking of going with a 26x9x12 on the front and a 26x12x12 on the rear. Do I need different wheels or will the stock ones handle those tires?

I would think it would handle 27"s easy stock. I have 27/10/12 on the front and 27/12/12 on the back, and that's on an old 500 Cat with no lift. I've been running that same size for years.

not familiar with that machine, but I've been told that most big bores can handle a 27 inch tire without a lift kit

If the two seater Arctic Cat has the same specs as a regular A/C (H1 OR NOT) then you shouldnt have an issue with tire size. Two of my Buds that also ride A/C'S are currently running 30x10 mudlites ( front and rear) on the 500 manual. One runs spacers with ITP c series rims while the other is on stock rims with no spacer. Neither have lift kits and there have been no issues with tire rub. Both bike do have shock adjustments set to the stiffest setting. I went with 28x10 (front and rear) mudlites and didnt do the shock adjustment ( yet ) and I have no problems. The 28x10 weigh in at around 24 lbs so the lighter weight is an added plus. I looked at the swamp lite but they weigh about the same as an outlaw (36lbs) so don't let the name fool you. I will say that the 30's on a non lifted wheeler looks retarted but once you see it eat up a mud hole you tend to keep your mouth shut. The other change is that they also keep the bikes set in the low range setting to keep stress off the drivetrain. Both bikes are two years old and no issues with CV joints or axles have occurred. In my opinion though you would be ok with any tire size but I'd stay with the 28's just for piece of mind. If you don't want to go that big just remember that the trv comes stock with 25's so will easily hold a 26 like your friends. Hang on a sec..... Looking at the spec sheet on your bike you have 2 inches less ground clearance. You're probobly only going to get the 26's on there without the lift. If you choose to go with a lift so you can run the bigger tire, check with highlifter to see if they make one for the TRV. Good Luck!!
