tire question-got tired of searching
If I put 26's on my IRS Rancher, am I going to have issues with my CV joints and stuff? Or should I just stick with the 25's? Also, I don't know if 26's will clear my winch in the front. 25's seem to have plenty of room.

if you get a 26" tire, pending the brand i would almost bet its the same height as your stock tires.

26" tires only require 1/2" more clearance than 25s.

Are you staying with the factory wheels? You should be fine for clearance but depending on the winch and wheels it might rub just a touch. Not enough to hurt anything most likely but enough to clean the dirt off, might miss it all together also.

Ok, so should clear the winch. What about snapping my axles and stuff? They come stock with 24's, I put 25's, now I want to go to a 26. But I was just wondering how much stress a bigger tire will put on the bike. They wont be gnarly mud tires but a good aggressive all terrain type.
