Re: Tire size recommendations

I am suffering from a power delemma on my 660. I run 14/12/26 terracross on the back and smaller on the front but have lost a lot of top end. Looking at going back to a 25" but not sure on width. Any recommendations?  :?:

Harbor Freight has some really skinny ones that would reduce your rolling resistance...that should speed you up.  If you look in the section of their store that has the lawn mower and wheel barrow replacement wheels you'll quickly find them.  Best of luck.   

ONLY KIDDING.      Why don't you change your gears?  After putting the 37's on my truck, I have to do the same if I want that top end power back.  This way you can keep the tires and get the gains your seeking.
Let me know if you need some help.

BTW, I see your a SXS Scholar, I'm only a rookie.  You should already know this. 

Later.

I tried but they have different bolt patterns! :shock:

I am looking at going back to the 12/25's but don't know what size as far as width. Clutching helps high or low but you can't get that perfect mix with the taller tires.

You've got a welder and I've got some steel.  Let's cut out a ring with your lug pattern and weld to the inside of the wheels I recommended from Harbor Freight.

Re: Tire size recommendations

I currently run the KMS clutch sheave with 14g rollers. I also have EPI dune kit (purple spring and wet clutch springs)

I ordered a set of 12g rollers to see if I can play with it some more.
