Looking to upgrade the OEM's and just wondering what size would fill the wheel well better, without changing anything from stock and what tires (don't want real heavy mudders) are the best all round.

Was thinking about 26-10-12 (25-8-12 on now) and 26-12-12's (25-10-12 on now)?

I have 25" Bighorns. They're a great all-terrain tire. GBC Dirt Tamers are a good knock off, if the price of the Bighorns is too steep for you.

26X10-12's in the front will need some trimming of the front upper skid plate. Im running 26X9-12 mudlite XTRs and when im fully turnt and the front suspention compresses it rudds quite bad and could easily pull it right off since its not attatched by much.

I just ordered some 26" mud hogs for my 08 bf sra. cant wait to try them out they look like a good all around tire ,even though they are under the mud tire category.

I am running 25-10-12/25-12-12 Swampco Interlites and I love them so far. Rode in some pretty good mud and snow recently and they really gripped nice and best of all they weigh considerably less than Mud Lites. The treads on the Interlites really clean themselves well too. Highly recommend!

i have 26 s on mine 12 wide on the back and 8 on the front

role,em im flour

i got an '08 brute force 750i and i run 27' mud lite XTR's on 12' ITP 108 series rims.

the mud lites are awesome dude. for me they have been MORE than adequate for mud and very comfortable on pavement and packed trails.

obviously they wont be as comforatble as ...say the bighorns or other trail tires. but i have NEVER rubbed and i rock 27's.

just got back from mud nationals. went through some very bouncy, roudh stuff and they trated me very well.

I've got four brand new 27" Mudlites that have never been mounted. I have stored them for the past several months dry and out of the weather. I am selling for 225 bucks for all 4. If you live near Eau Claire, WI they are available for pickup. I will deliver as far as the twin cities, rice lake area, or lacrosse. I bought them and they were out of round. ITP sent me these brand new ones, kept the old ones, and i already had the Swampco's on by the time (1 month) ITP made things right. I can ship, but the charge from UPS/Post Office, etc. is like 85 bucks if i recall.

PM me if interested.

Can't be much clearance around the fuel tank cover in the rear? The 11's on mine just clear.

I have 28x 12-12, 28x 10-12 Perilli Mudwisers and I put 1.5" Highlifter wheel spacers on the rear hubs. That way the tires cleared the gas tank on one side and the muffler on the other side. Highlifter springs went on also. They gave a better ride and stiffened front end steering during the ride and most important, in the turns....no front end diving.

Went with 26-9-12 & 26-11-12 in Carlise ACT XLR's and I am plesed with them.

I did cut the sidewall out of one of them 3rd ride out but when I looked at what I hooked(jagged shale rock sticking out of the mud) any tire likely would have failed.
They are alot smoother than the Vampires I was running in the past.

Anyone have any feedback on Swamp Fox's?

The kawi dealer here puts alot of them on before the bike leaves the shop since the stock tires are next to usless on a 650 or 750. They say the swamp fox's are a good all around tire they like them better than bear claws or the original mudlites. I know there are swamp fox plus's out there but i havent heard much feed back on them. I would assume there just as good as the original only with more lug.

Iv heard from multiple popel the Executioners are a great tire but the also measure smaller and alot heavier than pretty much everything else in its class.

they "may" run a hair smaller than some of the others BUT, I will say this, On "normal" trail riding they are ALOT easier handling than the ITP's Mud Lites I have on my other rims.

As far as mud/snow riding, I can't tell a bit of difference between the 2. I won't hesitate a bit when it comes to buying another set of them.
