well considering we have the same engine but yours is newer, i wouldnt go any bigger then 27's. thats what me and all my buddies run and there is no rubbing and just a little power loss. i can turn the hell out of them in first but in asecond it starts to bog a little when in some sticky stuff. but for info, my tires are 27x10x14 fronts and 27x12x14 in the back. i think thats right how i wrote it. so you know the 14 is the size riims i am running.

see i am a small guy,i am only 140 lbs, so yeah i would say they would pull fine with a guy my size. i put a buddy of mine on my bike with mudllites and he weighs about 220 lbs, and i did notice a difference. if you are around my size, then i would go for it. also we just got back form a big ride and they had a guy with the sam bike with 27" outlaws and he was a bigger guy and he said they pulled fine. just be carefullm you might snap a axle.

I have an 07 Rancher 420 w/ 26" executioners on it. I weigh about 260. IT pulls them just fine. But the bigger you go the worse the bump steer gets so keep that in mind. If you are getting new wheels be sure to get aluminum the difference in weight will make a huge difference to the steel wheels. I was to cheap I bought the steel. Now I kick myself in the A** every time I ride.

my pal who does mud bogs, runs 27" silverbacks, with shift springs, hmf pipe, snorkel, and programmer. he also put on helper springs. its and '09 420. he can wip it in third gear all day long. before i put on my -1 front sprocket on 300ex, he was keeping up with me until i hit forth. then we were even. and at fith i started to leave him. he told me if he was to go with anything bigger, than he would go with a gear reduction, about $600. stock bike will except these big tires well, i would try to get as much power with the tires tho. They are on ss alumnium rims
