I'm not,but it must be really hard on bearings,and a b*tch to steer.

I'm not saying "Don't do it",just saying that it would most likely be harder on bearings and such.And a little harder to steer with no EPS.To each their own.

I am, no problems really. I have broke two outter CV cups but you can either have warranty cover them or buy Gurrila HD replacement outter cups. Steering is easy bro, my ex gf could steer it just fine even in 4wd and she was like 120lbs. They are deffinately worth it, the added flotaion in mud is phenominal! And not to mention it looks wicked!

one reason i want 12 wide is for stability, on fast corners seems like the front wants to tip over.

i had 27 12 vamps all the way around my bear and it was awesome in mud gave the bike a awesom stance but way to hard to steer for trail ridin... my dad is 6'5 and 265 pounds and i'm 6'2 175 pounds an it didn't matter which one of us drove the bear it would wear us out

Spacers will make the quad more stable and would be cheaper than tires. I ran 12 wide Zillas on my old 660 and loved the floatation (looked mean as heck, too) but was rough on the tie rod ends. Lotta added weight. Would yank the bars out of my hands on tight trails on occasion.

If you have any buddies w/ spacers that will fit, do some test driving w/ them on your quad and see what you think.

I have 27X12X12 Exes all the way around on my 700 Grizz and I love the setup up but if you are turning hard and the tire goes up on that side it can touch the side of the Radiator Steering is not a problem ith mine its EPS and it does pull alot better in the ruts IMO
