This is just my opinion but, putting 10" wide tires on the front could make your quad a real bear to turn, especially at very slow speeds. They may also rub when you make tight turns. Just food for thought.

brother in law is running 27x10x12 mudlites on the front of his rincon with no problem.I run 27x9x12 zillas with no problem ether.

They may work I really don't know but, the Rincon has more space in the wheel wells. As I stated that was just my opinion and something that I would want to check on before making the purchase.

I have put my brother n laws 27x10x12 mudlites and rims on my rancher with no rubbing what so ever. have also tried a set of 27X10x14 mudlite xtr tire with no rubbing. but they are way to heavy.

You can really kill your power with tires that are oversize and create other issues. The suspension isn't designed to handle the added load of the big tires. They look pretty good but ride, handling and durability can all suffer. That is a lot of extra stress and load on the tie rod ends and other parts. As the saying goes, "Been there, done that". JMO

there are two things that play into that .one being weight, the other is height which causes loss of gearing, weight is the main concern.weight is what brakes things. not the fact that there is added height.the power loss I have obseved it not that great. the tire wheel combo that I have are around 30 lbs per tire wheel combo.which is at least 3 to 4 lbs less than mud lights on the same rims. I have had the ill fate of braking an axle due to a heavy a tire/ wheel combo. the combo was XTR with 14" rims. you just have to choose a tire wheel combo with less rolling resistance. But unless you spend a lot of time in the deep mud as most do down here than go with a milder tire.
