From the looks of your sig, I think that you wouldn't have a problem turning them. If you were to put skinnies all around it will put less strain on the bike, and it would turn them better.

They will be perfect for the foreman. Do NOT go skinny in the bike if you ride in mud. The skinny tires will sit that straight rear axle on bottom very fast. Go wides in the back.

the backs pull harder than the outlaws. i have had them both and also tested them side by side on the same bikes. backs pulled it through alot easyer. but cant go wrong with either one JMO

Muddyfuzzy Im not gonna disagree that the skinnies all around look better but for a sra bike I prefer wides on abck and skinnies on the front. Wides on teh front are never a good idea since thats hard on tierods and balljoints. Skinnies on the back of a SRA will dig down and offer no grip once the front tires cut through the mud. I would offer the idea of 28x9.5s however all around

For water racing and water riding there is no comparison IMO. Now for mud I really don't like them that much expecially on a SRA. By that I mean the gumbo mud I ride in. For pit racing or watery soupy mud, no comparison on a SRA since they dont take away as much power as fattys would and plus you add GC which is oh so nessecary on a SRA.

with the mods you have i would go with 29.5 skinnies or at least 28's you'll have plenty of power.

You can go wide on the back with the 27's no prob. If you get 28's I highly suggest getting 28x9.5s all the way around
