I need some help again. I want to put GBC Kanati Mongrel Radial Tires on my Rincon. 27x9x12 on the front and 27x11x12 on the rear. I have researched myself into information paralysis. This is what I don't want to happen:

-I want to keep everything stock....no bending or lifting or modifying whatsoever. I want to turn at full lock both ways without rubbing period. I want to have my wife on the back with no rear fender rubbing.
-I don't want reduced power or damaged parts.


I realize the answer may be stick with the stock sized tires. I'm asking the people who know to respond. I've read so many things that contradicts one another that I don't know what to believe. Any help would be appreciated.

The larger diameter will reduce acceleration due to gearing and larger rotational mass.
These look to be UTV tires and maybe heavy in both overall weight and stiff sidewalls.
Unless you really need an overall 1" lift go smaller. If you really want the 1" wider then they can be had in a 26" diameter in a couple of brands.

Thank you very much for the reply and insight. I think I'm just going to stick with the stock sized tires in this brand. I have never learned as much about shopping for tires as I have with this ATV. I'm sticking with the size it was born with.
