What is the max tire size that will fit the factory rims? My current Dunlop tires are:

Front 25x8-12
Rear 25x10-12

I'd like get tires that are good in mud and snow. Most of my riding will be in the ditches and in the bush. Will something like Kenda Executioners do the job? Any online tire shop recommendations?

If you're not looking to go too big on height a 26 would work for you.... a 26x10x12 and 26x12x12.

I personally like my 25x10-12 executioners myself and they will fit the factory rims excellent !!!!!!

Do you have 25x10-12 all around?

I just put 27x10-12 Kenda Executioners all the way around on my Foreman. No rubbing and no problems elsewhere. I was going to buy from Rocky Mountain ATV...they were the cheapest...but they were out of stock until the middle of the month. I ordered from Dennis Kirk instead and still got a good deal.

I just put on my first set of BigHorns, 26.10.12s up front and 26.12.12s in the back, this weekend. Can't wait to get them out on the trails.

Have 26" X 9" on front, 26" X 10" on back, though most go with the 12's on the back but I didn't want the extra bulk/weight. Have found the 10's in the back to do just fine. ITP mudlite xl's

id say for your needs get some mudlites or swamplites nothing to serious and executioners are too heavy in my opinion
