What is the largest tire you have used or seen on the 700 uxv looking for more ground clearance
  Thanks,Paul

I've seen pics online with 26 inch tires! that's what the sp model comes with I think. I was looking at putting 27x10x14 all 4 that way I can rotate them. I have an 08 grizzly 700 with 3,000 miles and it's had 27 inch tires it's whole life with no problems.

I wish I would have done the same thing on my grizzly. Now my front tires are worn way more than the back.

I just put 27x9x14 and 27x11x14 Motohammer tires on my 700, works good for me.

That's a nice looking tire but a little on the heavy side for me. I live in south Texas and it gets pretty muddy down here that's why I chose the zillas not aggressive enough to break an axle and they are lite.

They are a little heavier, but I need tough tires that won't get a flat when I'm racing. I would like to do 30" tires, but I think I would have to reinforce the entire drivetrain from the motor to the hubs to drive those tires.

I was reading up on those tires I don't think a bullet from a Sherman tank could give you a flat with 8 ply side walls

Thanks! I hate to cut it out, but it was only a temp solution until my arms can be made. It sure is fun to look at though and worked great. Scroll down further and check out the ATV suspension, that's getting a bit wild.

Yes it is :) Speaking of tire sizes, the ATV has 28's on 15" wheels. It also has 110 hp to push them.
