Turning radius
Hey fellas, I'm new to the site. I got a new 500 foreman for xmas. I was wondering if I go up to 26 inch tires, how much would it affect my turning radius? The turning radius already isn't to great. Also, does a lift kit make the turning radius worse or better? And is there anything that can be done to improve the turning radius? Feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Future possible plans: gorilla lift kit 26 inch mudlite XTRs |

Welcome!!! Man I gotta say I've never heard anybody that was worried about turning radius. The tires or lift shouldn't affect it. But I would seriously reconsider those mudlights. Save a little bit extra cash and get some better tires.

The only thing that will affect your turning radius is a big custom lift or a locker. My spool locker cut mine down just a hair. But now with my big lift it cut it down a tad more to
You don't have anything to worry about

If you set your toe in pretty tight it should improve your turning radius, Hondas come toed waay out from the factory.

The tires won't make a difference with the radius. The lift may help it a little bit because it will make the front end a little narrower.
