How would it do? maybe the 10in wides all around. Say with an HMF, K&N, Jetted, think it would do pretty well? They say the ride on the 29.5 Outlaw is better then the 28s, and maybe not so harsh. Think it would turn the foreman into a complete pig?

There is a guy in S FLorida who has them on the HL forum. He said it turns them well. In watery mud I beleive i tbu tin the thick stuff, it will fall on its face. IMO the 29.5 are for the Big Bores, there is only so much power in thse mid-sized bikes. And then their is the breakage factor. I'm sure it looks pretty though.
I am thinking about the same thing 10's all the way around, I think with pipe filter and jet kit and lift kit it would do alright. I think in the real thick stuff it would bogg some, but it should pull its own weight pretty well. I might have do something sooner than later, I was looking at my 589's this morning , they are cut to h3ll I guess from bear bottles or something in the holes.
You go first and let me know how it does

I think thats how my Laws got cut up, from the couple ride at the black hole. There is a lot of debris in the bottom of some of those holes.
Yeah that is the ride that i ride the most, it is mainly just the back tires though.
well robb if you decide to step up let me know ill step up with ya i know the rubi can handle them. But from what i heard you cant find 29.5 right now. Rays buddy with the polaris you know the crazy guy tried to get some and couldnt find any he settled for 28's
Its tempting...but im gonna have to find some Rubicon wheels or something first, to get the weight down.
Robb I know a guy w/ these for sale (28" 10s & 12s) $275 shipped. He may also have 4 C-series Alum wheels too. I emailed him, to find out how much he wants for the wheels.

Rav if your interested I'll let you know too.
I could be very interested in the wheels. If im gonna buy new tires though, I think I want to try the 29.5s
Crap man I'm waitin on him now. I'm first in line for them. $325 shipped from him is what he told me. Just waitin on the final yes from him. I hate that they are so far away. I offered him $300 shipped. He turned me down over $25. This guy drives a hard bargain. But he said $325, so I can live with that. Truegrit, how do they look. Do they look worn to you. I don't know zillas very well.
Truegrit, can you get ahold of this deepmudrancher on HL for me. He must check his PM once a day. I'm waiting on the total for the zillas. I guess I'm just impatient.
how deep is the tread on them tires, it looks to be a couple inches! I want a atv that could turn them over. hey anyone want to buy a house? <a href="http://www.actionrealtycompany.com/2811" target="_blank">http://www.actionrealtycompany.com/2811 ... ndAve.html</a> I'm getting a foreman when i sale it. till then I just sitting here listening to you all and dreaming.
Hey Robb have you seen this picture of this foreman.
Thats the one in S Florida, It looks good, but I don't think it can turn them too good, when it gets thick.
I saw it. I would consider 29.5x10's if the zillas don't come thru.

They make those???
29.5x10 laws yes. Not zillas. They only go up to 28's. I hear you can blow those things up huge.
oh ok, I misread. IM surprised with the success of the 29.5 Laws, no one else has made that size. If I could get some 29.5 Bugs, that would be ideal.
