Ok I was once told there are no dumb questions so here goes

I called the dealer for a price on tires, for stock foreman rims. He gave me a price without even asking the size I want. So I slowed him down and said I want 26 inchers, mud lights 26x9x12 in the front he gave me a price. Then I said Mud light 26x12x12 and he said I can't have them. Has to be 10 inch Why? are they to fat for the rim? Would they rub? I bought this forwheeler to pull so I want some surrface area in the back, plus I also think the wider the tire the better in the show. I mean I can be satified with 10s but I want 12s or do they rob power?

Just wonderin'

My wife & I both have 26-10x12 in the front & 26-12x12
in the rears. Mine is a 2003 & hers is 2004. That guy had
no idea what he is talkin' about. Go on & get the 12's in
the rear. It ain't gonna hurt a thing. I would get 10's in
the front if i were you.

She does very well. She is rather on the small side as well.
I'd say 135lbs. 5ft.6inches. My daughter who is 6 yrs. old
can turn it very well.

Your trying to get permission from your wife to get a pig and you post her weight on the forum. Shame on you!

Harry, you will have no problems with fitment with the tires you inquired about.

She is still sayin' no to the pig. So, I will tell the truth.
She is 4ft. 2inches & 437lbs. Very ugly with 3 brown
teeth & stinky breath. There. Lets see if i get a pig now.
She usually gets on here after I leave for work. The
bedroom door will probably be locked with a note on the
door: All Your Things Are Packed & In The Garage!!
We'll see.
