    Narrower rear tires?

    I have been thinking about installing 27" tires on the back of my Big Red. I can get whatever, but I have access to 27x9-12 Mudzilla for $25 each new. Think I'll lose anything by going to a narrower tire? They are about 4lbs lighter each than the ones I have now.

    I wouldn't say you'd lose alot with the narrower tire but that is a very very tall tire for a big red, espically a mudzilla. Also 25 bucks each new seems like a deal. I'd buy them anyway. What size tires are you running now?
