Hey guys, I have decided to put a RD 2.5" lift kit on my 2005 Rincon,, the rincon is bone stock and that is the way I am keeping it except for the lift kit and set of interco swamplites,, , my question , the stock tires on the rincon are 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 on the rear,, could I put the lift kit on ,, and put a set of 27x10x12 front and rear,, woudl the 10" wide swamplite be to large for the front end on the rincon with the lift,, I ride mostly fields and trail, and some mud , I however want a mud setup,, ,, but I was just wondering what would be best, make the front and rear tires the same size when I put the swamp lites on or go with the thinner front tire and wider rear,, any opinions woudl be appreciatted,, thanks,

27x10's on the front will be fine. You could clear 27's without the lift kit if you wanted to.

yeah hes right , but if you want a mud setup and still ride trails , i would stay away from the swamplites they ball up quick the lugs are way to close together..great on the trail though , but the minute they see mud the will slick over...think about going with the outlaw mst or the maxxis zilla (not mudzilla) the zilla would be the best because of its light weight...

Swamplites do fine in mud so long its got some water in it, its when the mud has no water present that they want to slick over but some throttle will clean them out.

But i do aggree they are not MUD tires the are Allterrian tires that can handy some mud duties.

Stay away from swamp lites. They are junk in the mud. I have a set and hate them. They don't clean out at all. But if you want to test the strength of your winch i would say get them...I think for a trail tire they are ok but seem to aggressive for that. They just suck

i agree 100% they are great trail tires but are horrible in the mud.....and i tried letting the psi down around 5 and then all the way up to 15........made no difference........THERE JUST NOT A MUD TIRE

So would the 3" ebay lift be ok since I weigh 220 pounds,, I don't ride to hard but I also don't want to be tearing up parts,, and if I go with 27's would a 1-2" lift be enough to clear,, I don't want to be trimming fenders or brackets or any of that,, so with 27x10x12 on the front and the 27x12x12 on the back be ok,, I ride alot of trail type and then some mud,, ,,, if so would I be ok with the swamplites,, or zillas,, I want which ever one rides better on field/trail type riding,, and I appreciatte all of the help guys,
