No problem at all with 25s, I'd do at least 26s. If you wanted to do some power mods, or a clutch kit, then do 27s. Every little bit of ground clearance counts on a SRA bike.

yeah i ride in the homochitto river which is ALOT of sand. i borrowed some 27 inch outlaws one weekend and it pulled them OK in mud. but on the sandbar it would even go in 5th gear it would just bog down.i was wanting 25s because i dont want to put a lot of stress on the bike , plus 26s have a round profile,unless i go 27-10-12 s-backs and a clutch kit.by the way how much do clutch kits really help?

Clutch kit only helps get the tires moving. It is different for every quad, and my numbers may be way off anyway, but for example, your clutch engages at 1000 RPM. With a clutch kit, your clutch would engage at 1500 RPM. This only helps you from a dead stop, once moving it is no different. They are a good mod, well worth it if you have trouble. To me, it would be something that I would do later. I would get whatever tires I wanted, then if I do have problems, I would get the clutch kit. Just my opinion. Don't expect it to work miracles, but it will help.

Looks good, you should be pleased with them. The 26's will match the fronts better and also be slightly easier to turn.

It spins them really good in 1st but only spins them in 2nd in soupy mud. I love these tires too, to me they are far more of a do everything tire then the Outlaws can ever be, they mud almost as good as Laws but will do everything else better. They run true or slightly tall, I measured them when I first put them on and they came out to be like 27 1/8 in the front and 27 1/4 in the rear at 7psi I run 5psi in the front and 3psi in the rear of mine. The Bi/Tris are a couple lbs lighter then Laws of the same size. 27x10 Law 30lbs 27x12 Law 35lbs 27x9.75 Bi Claw 28lbs 27x12 Tri Claw 33-34lb

The Bi/Tris are better in the mud then the old school tsl atvs are, but the Vamps are a little better then the Bi/Tris are. But then again the Bi/Tris are better by A LOT in the sand then the Vamps are, I ride in either mud or sand so the Bi/Tris are the perfect tire for me. They do sand better then any other mud tire I've ever seen and they do mud better then any other tire that I've seen other then Vamps, Laws, and Backs.

Bugs are another great tire, imo the Bi/Tris are the better mudder but the Bugs will hold their own for sure. They could be the best mudder of the trail/mud tire category, maybe only second to the MST.

lil420camo I see in your sig that you have your rad relocated I'm going to be doing this either this week or next week to mine I was wondering if you could post a pic of it for me. I've seen a couple of 420s like it and they were all different, I think I know how I'm going to do mine just curious how you did yours.
