Biggest tires on a STOCK Outlander XT WITHOUT any lift.

[X-Treme]

Anyone know whats the biggest you can go on a bone stock outtie? Looking at maybe Mud Bugs, or Outlaws.

I have 28's. Work well

With aftermarket rims you can go 30's easy. On the G1 you have to watch headlight/tire clearance and tie rod/sidewall clearance. On the G2 you have to watch inner tire/rear trailing arm clearance.

It can depend on the tire manufacturer, my buddy has 28" Zillas, but in reality they only measure about 26-27" tall mounted.

Sorry boys. Let me give some more info. Mines a 2012 G2. I'd prefer to stay with stock wheels, but if I HAVE to change, I will.

Chances are pretty good you will need either spacers or rims. Unless you go with 9 inch tires.

28" Zillas is what I would run.
Mudbugs are great on smaller quads but don't have the tread depth.

28" outlaw 1s skinny side combo. A bit of plastic trimming. Still will run once and a while if everything is bottomed out and wheels are turned just right. another unit I ride with. 29.5" laws lots of his floor boards are trimmed off. Think it rubs about like mine.

Depends on your weight and do you ride double ever? With XT stock rims, you will a rear 1" wheel spacer and at least 1" spring spacers all around for most 28-30" 10" front and 12" rear tires out there. And then trim the fenders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_TYU4UYDI https://www.youtube.com/user/PinesPowersports/videos

Yeah. That sounds like a GREAT idea. Thanks for your insight. I'll go look at one right now.


Or NOT!!

Yet with all that, the Popo is a far inferior machine.

LOL. The XP's are nice, But with even mods from Popo to Can-AM, the Can-Am will smash the Popo at every real world challenge. The OP asked a tire question, not which brand was better.

Trolling is your new hobby? Have fun.

Whatever it takes to get you out of "pouting" mode , I guess........
As for tire size , anything over a 28 will rub. With major trimming a 30 will still rub on every off camber & bump.....on a g2 bike.

I am running 28 black mombas and they work fine even with the big lugs
