Smallest Rim Size

I Just got my new Sportsman 1000 and I was planning on reusing my second set of tires from my sportsman 570. The only thing is they are not at my house right now. Will a 12" rim fit on a 2018 Sportsman 1000?

Runs Poorly

2001 Polaris Expedition 425. Had carburetor rebuilt and fluids changed before deer season. Ran great for a month or so. Has a significant miss while running along with hesitation. Only getting about half power. Replaced spark plug, still same. Smell gas while running.

6X12 or 5X14 Aluminum Trailer

Looking to purchase a new trailer and cant decide if i want to go 6X12 or 5X14. I currently only have one outlander, but might need to be able to haul another atv form time to time.

What are your opinions on both sizes and can you fit 2 atvs on a 6X12? I am leaning to the 6X12 because it is brand new vs the 5X14 is a little older. Also the 6X12 is an A frame hitch vs the 5X14 is just a single bar.

Both are 2200 GVWR so they can haul the same amount.

Thanks in advance!

input on tire choice

Hey
well the time has come to finally get new tires, my itp mud lite's are 2007 and even having alot of tread I'm finding that it takes a bit to go through even a foot of snow
26x9x12f
26x12x12 r
this is what I have now.
sitting on itp alloy rims
my choices are
ITP Mud lite II
27x9x12f
27x11x12r

or

ITP Mega Mayhem
28x9x12
28x11x12

ITP Mud Lite XTR
27x9x12
27x11x12

I would really like to raise my sportsman up abit by tires only and no spacers.
took alook at the clearance and as long as the fronts don't go wider then 9" I will clear.
what do you think?
thanks
Glenn.

Gap insurance

How can I determine if needed, or i should say a good idea?
I always have it on vehicles, but considering my loan for this ATV is only $9k, is gap even needed?
