My Dazon 250 has 21 inch high tires.Almost all quads use or upgrade to 26 inch high tires and these enable the quad to take the rough rocky pitted ruts and water filled rutouts a lot quicker than my buggy and even on the smoother parts of the trail they can stay ahead of me.What are the size of tires on your buggy?Has anybody ever put 26 inch high tires on your buggy?I don't know if such large tires will work on my Dazon with out hindering my front steering.Again how big of tires do you run on your buggy. mancoman

Funnyman with all respect your only running tires an inch bigger than what I'm running now.But I do have to ask what size was you using be fore?Have the 22 inchers made a difference? mancoman

Mine-------25x10x12 on rear------- 25x8x12 on front
going to a bigger tire will cause you to lose some bottom end.

Mike ran some real big tires and kept going through belts. I run 24in. 25in seems to be about the max on these. You'll want to look at your gearing with larger tires. Like rv said you'll lose bottom end

If you have the correct offset on the rim you can go with 25" front tires, but the rear tires will depend more on your gearing than what will fit. That's why my Joyner 250 runs 25x8-12 tires on the front and 22x11-10 on the rear.
