| First of all has anyone heard of MUDCAT by Cooper? How are they if any ones ran them ?
I have a 09 Teryx with 14s on it now and soon going back to 12s and I can get these tires local for $88.00 a piece but here's the catch the reg. tire size is fronts-26-8-12 and rear 26-10-12 and I can only get these in fronts 27-9-12 backs 26-12-12 or 25-8-12 and rear 25-10-12s. So would it be best to go with the 25s or 26 and 27s. Might look funky with the tires bigger on the front but thats not my concern it's the wear it will have on my front end. Like some feed back. Thanks guys | |

| Gotta run the same height al the way around -- 25, 26, or 27". Don't mix that or it will be rough on the 4wd. Looks like in that tire your only option is the 25's. | |

| They should be the same height on all fours. I have 27.5's need to heat and smash or grind the little wedge shaped thing on front fender wells. about 3/8 of a inch. | |

| You can run the "fronts" all the way around. 27x9x12 would work fine, look fine, and give you extra ground clearance. | |

| I agree with Mr WV about the 26x9s all the way around or 27x9s if they're light. will perform better and more clearence is always better. | |

| don't buy the tusk tires!!! I found out by riding them on hard pack trails that those tires are like concrete! they don't give at all and they are also very heavy for a 26" tire I replaced them with maxxis zilla for last weeks ride and it is night and day in the ride. | |
