if you put 9.5's all the way around and no lift they are supposed to fit no problem, i put a 2" lift on mine and have the 29.5X10 and 29.5X12's which required some cutting to make them fit in the rear. as for turning them it doesnt do too bad as the new foremans are 3% reduction from previous foremans and the fuel injection helps alot aswell. this spring i will find out how well they turn in mud and skeg before i go buy the gear reduction kit (650$ from highlifter or 350$ from another guy). i have run mine in snow and i notice a little bit of a drag getting into the deep snow if you dont have any momentum (2nd) but in first it appears to be ok.. i did a ride in snow (1.5-2.5feet) and was using first gear 1/2-3/4 throttle when going up hill and such, but second gear was still an option as it helped with getting through some spots where you need a little less spin on the tires (when stuck in a rut and trying to rip out of it). level ground 2nd was useable and they grab and you get movin like a mofo. now this is just riding up in my area and i cannot compare it to your area as i dont know what kind of trails/mud/snow you get. check out my youtube channel as i have posted videos of the snow adventure on there. in my personal opinion a gear reduction will make it nicer to turn and 3rd would be more like 2.5 and 2nd would be like 1.5 which would help so you dont have to rev the machine as much.

I have 28x12x12 Zillas on mine and on all for corners no problems at all but i lifted it two and half inches also, but no other moods and it turns them no problem even in peanut butter mood. fixing to get a winch and a slip on to give it more power. Don't think ill need the gear reduction.
