Hi all new here,I traded my 17 Rancher 420 2wd for a 19 Rancher 420 4x4.As most not crazy about the stock tires in the mud.
Looking at Ancla tires anybody use these on there Rancher 420?
A few guys on here recommend staying with stock rims due to unnecessary stress on drive train and other parts plus power loss I plan to leave the bike stock.Do not understand why Honda uses a 12" rim on front and 11" on back.
I am wanting to have 2 sets of tires use the stock tires during the summer then switch to Ancla tires in the winter. Where can I find a set of New oem stock rims?
Tire size is 24/8/12 front and 24/10/11 back.

I bought some stock 05 or 06? aluminum Rubicon wheels (12”) and tires in 25”. These were new! The Rubicon owner pulled them off when he bought it. I then sold my stock 08 Rancher tires and wheels to someone in the bush for the same price as the new Rubicon tires and wheels. So the Rancher has been running 25s since new. There have been no issues with the 25s.

What concerns me is why did Honda put 24" tires on the Rancher.There has to be a reason why they did it.I almost went with the Honda Foreman to get the 25" tires but just could not put out anymore money.
