Tire Size for Ranger 6*6

[Backwater Retrievers]

I am new to the forum and I've enjoyed learning a little more about my ranger from it.

I've got an 03' Ranger Six Wheeler and I am needing to put new tires on it. I'm still running the factory tires but it is well past the time to replace them. I am pretty fond of the itp mudlites but I am needing to know what size tire I should go with and can go with? I think it has 25's on the front and 26's on the back but I am wanting to go a little bigger if I can but do not want to put too much tire that it bogs the machine down(500cc). I use the machine for play but 99% of the time for hauling hunters in some nasty mud. I have very impressed with it and that was with bald tires so I'm sure I will be in hog heaven with some tennis shoes. Just need some suggestions on what ya'll think. The machine also has a 2 inch lift but I am unsure about the tires because of how close the two back tires are together.

Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to Polaris Ranger Forum!

ITP Mudlite are a great all around tire. I like the swamp lites by interco. I don't know what type of terrain you use it on but everyone likes different tires,tread for different uses. Let us know what you mostly use it for and we will try to help you out. I have used the swamp lites on 4 of my atv's so far. Here is a picture of them.

I am pretty dead set on the mudlites but I really need to know what size I can get away with without having the back tires rub each other on the 6 wheeler.

I dont no about the 6x6 but i have 28 inch mudlites on my ranger xp with a 2 inch lift and have no problems. I would think you could 27's on it without the 2 back tires rubbing but maybe somebody else with one could tell you more exactly what you could run.
