So I hope this doesnt come off as another will these tires fit question..ive read every post I can find from all over the net, so Im hoping to get some info from any late model touring owners and anyone with insight.. 1- im ready to buy tires for my rig “2018 sportsman 850SP TOURING. I hear lots of advice to not run 26” tires on 14” tires for various reasons, I do not run extreme, I do moderate trail riding that does have some rocky conditions, for those of you running 26” tires are you okay with them..
2- the problem with bigger tires even 27 or 28 on earlier tourings have been problematic, supposedly the footrest supports were refesigned in 15 and only have 2 rounded plastic supports that take up space... can anyone confirm that the later models have more room for 26-28 tires? Is anyone running larger than the undersized stock tires with no problems on newer tourings?
Im not itching to go larger with tires just worried about the feedback ive gotten on that set up..
Sorry for the ramble, hope you guys can help.. thanks
