My old 26x10 Mudweisers went on a friends 300 and it pulled them fine.
I bet some 26x10 front and 26x12 Mudbugs would be awesome on a 300.

Biggest tires with no gear reduction
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

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.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
One sure way to find out, do a compression test. More compression = bigger bang = more POWER !!:laugh:Hearing all this talk of running 25" & 26" tyres is making me think that my motor is well due a top end rebuild (I'm due to do that anyway) sooner rather than later. I can't spin 2nd at all wether it's in really water swampy bogs or the thick clay mud holes. Compared to some of the tyres you guys run I'd call mine a semi aggressive mud tyre.
I'm also thinking I may have gone to wide, currently running 10" in width front and rear, maybe 8's or 9's would have been more beneficial.
Haven't seen the compression tester for ages though, not a clue where it is. The diesel one's not going to go low enough to be accurate.
...to give you an idea of what it cost over here as I know you are over the pond , I am just finishing up rebuilding my 300 engine , started it up last night and its sounding good , just picked up a new air filter on the way home , and I should be able to ride it tomorrow , cost of parts right under $500 , rebored jug , piston , wrist pin and clips , gaskets , timing chain , gasket set , seals , oil and filter , spark plug , air filter , reworked the headHearing all this talk of running 25" & 26" tyres is making me think that my motor is well due a top end rebuild (I'm due to do that anyway) sooner rather than later.

Compression tester was in the garage I believe dad, I'm sure I only ever used the diesel tester so not 100% sure. It doesn't feel as lively as your 300 though and does have a slight tap/tick, nothing to be overly concerned about though.
I'm slowly gathering the parts to do a top end rebuild fish, dropped lucky with an OEM gasket set for £12 off eBay. Have to spend a little each week you see so the Mrs doesn't go crazy at me haha!
