Hey guys I was wondering what's the biggest/most aggressive tires I can run on my 95 4x4 with out doing a gear reduction, I'm also thinking about doing the 2 inch lift. I don't want todo a gear reduction because I do a lot of riding on shell roads but I also go through some thick mud and I do not want to loose to much of my top end speed. Thanks

I'm guessing by your name it's a 300 fourtrax you have.

I've recently fitted new aggressive tyres and found I can only spin them in deep mud when in first/low gear. Knowing what I know now I'd have opted for slightly less aggressive so I could spin them in 2nd gear. See my signature for tyre type and size.
So, in my opinion, the bigger you go the less aggressive you want to go unless you plan on a BBK or some kind of power upgrade.

So your thinking an aggressive 25inch tire?

I would agree with 25's, maybe 26" if you run skinnys and stay with something somewhat sensible. Like 26" skinny vamps would be ok

Are the vamps a light tire? I have heard a lot of good and bad things about them.

Not particularly, mud tires aren't light. If you want a light trail/mud tire look at Zilla's, mud bugs, mud lites, mst's all reasonable weights.

Ya I have mudlights on my 03 foreman, just looking for something different. I think I'm gonna look into vamps or zillas.

This thing is just straight bad ass. It must have some sort of gear reduction though.

Vamps would be more mud,zillas more trail. I have an 18% GR on my 300 and running 28's (probably a bit too much tire) but it still runs about 30mph or better top speed. Idk how fast your looking to go.

I think I'll stick to the 26s seems to be a nice versatile tire size for a stock 300. My Foreman will rip the mud lights in 2nd gear with ease and it has no gear reduction with 28s but it's also a450, a lot more motor than the 300.

Yes more motor 8hp more actually and slightly lower gearing as well.

For me , I think 26x12 in the rear and 26x10 in the front is the perfect size for the 300 4x4 ---------- I ran a set of 27 ITP Black Waters for one weekend and they were too much for it --------------

Thanks

My bike can still pop a wheelie so I'm assuming that my motor is fine for now

Mine lifts the front wheels about an inch, it won't wheelie on power alone, I have to pull up and drop down in the seat.

Mine was only used for hunting so it was never ridden hard. I would say it's definitely a torquey 300 still gonna only do 26 inch tires so I can keep some of that power.
