WOW! I super appreciate this video. Was thinking of getting the XTR and then putting 12" rims/tires (with bighorns or clones) on it, because I want comfort. Now I think I'll just get a base grizzly and add a winch. I was already debating what would I do with those extra wheels/tires. having to switch the brake rotor protector is a dealbreaker. Hell, thinking of just saving all the monies and going kodiak base.
I have a 2019 Grizzly with the 27in Zillas. They are offset... not square. I love it for around my property. We took our four wheelers to Windrock Park. It did great and it was a great place.
@@patriotsyndicate9532 technically it is a misnomer since a "square setup" actually creates an offset where the front end becomes wider than the rear. On a standard "staggered" setup , the tires and wheels are different widths but aligned even front to rear from the outside edges.
Black wheels look much better. Wish I would have done the exact set up to mine. I just swapped out my tires for 26 inch bighorns But on 14 inch rims. The rims that came with my special edition were black and looked great. Would have preferred 12 inch wheels though.
Would really like to see an update video. That is, how do you like your new tire setup? This is exactly what I was wanting to do. I'm hoping you say ride quality is VERY improved. Also, haven't bought a machine yet....now that your kodiak and grizzly have the same tire setup, can you compare the ride quality? Preferably with 4 lbs of air in the tires and on fast bumpy trails, as that is where I plan to ride. Thanks and enjoy!
I have a 2023 Grizzly 700 that came stock with 27x10-14s all the way around , Thinking about getting a new set of tires but keeping the same 14 inch rims , I wanna downsize tires size though from 27 to 26 so should i get 26x10-14s in the rear and maybe 26x9-14s in the front? Whats the benefit of having a smaller tire on the front? thanks
Awesome video! Probably going to do the same thing with mine. Question for ya, are the oem 12” rims a different width/offset front to rear or are they the same on all 4 corners?
Yes oem 12” are different width front and rear. I like the narrow wheels and tires in the front for better handling and lighter feel to the steering. More tire choices.
Going to do this to my 2019 SE with the factory 14" wheels. Wanting to run some smaller tires on 12" rims. Partzilla shows the same part number for the rings for all four wheels, left, right, front rear. Same number as he shows in the video; I looked it up to see if perhaps there was a different one for left/right/front/rear. BB5-F514A-00-00
As the videos states for my needs I did not like the XTR factory setup. I know several other people who do. Try putting this setup and see what a night and day difference it makes it feels your Grizzly is much more nimble and has lot more power. Also I like less wheel and more rubber for off-road comfortable ride. 14” rims are too wide and not a lot of good tire selection. Zillas are terrible tires on hard packed and tar roads.
I drive on the hard stuff and on grass. The Zilla’s rip up the grass. What tyre you recommend for my use? Is the 14x9x26 bighorn 2 a option (all same size) or would your 12” setup work out better for not ripping the grass lawn?
@@urbanacres7189 yes true, they say the 2.0 is lighter weight so I thought maybe gives a better ride. I like you set up very much though. Difficult choosing, it’s no cheap mod all together… thanks for your help.
@@urbanacres7189 the reason why I ask about the felt power is because I just barely traded in a 2017 grizzly that had the 708 motor for a new 2023 grizzly xtr that has the 14" zillas and the 686 motor. The top end power and spirited trail riding is definitely not as good as with my 708 i had on 26" maxxis bighorns just like the setup you have... just was wondering if its the 686 motor that just has less top end power and slightly less performance than the 708 or if it's the heavy tires on the new xtr that make it feel that way... either way I'm missing those 26" bighorns I once had and was wondering if it was worth going back to that setup
@@urbanacres7189 I really like the way yours looks with those all black 12" rims. Looks way better IMO. I think you did good with those rims and bighorn OGs.
@@jessecameron7268 I don't think thats accurate... The latest grizzly with the 686 motor is geared lower than the 708 grizzly was... but the clutching is the same across all models
No 14” wheels are too wide 8” or 8.5” That is basically too wide for a 9” wide low profile tire running 5 lbs of air. Especially for an off-road only vehicle.
Not a lot of miles on my machine but I know several people who put well over 3000 miles a year on it and the machines hold up really well. I have not had any issues with my machine
New tires are for 12” rims. And original 14” rims are designed for square setup that means front rim is same width and the rear rim and too narrow of a tire won’t fit.
@@urbanacres7189they actually would have still fit just fine if you had it. Went with a 14 inch version. The slightly now our rim is not going to make that much of a difference. Perfect. Example is people buying aftermarket rims. They're all the exact same offset yet they still go with the staggered setup. There's no difference.
I am a Can Am owner and love the style of the gold wheels! One of if not the best looking wheels out there. I tried finding some like it but failed.
Yes I loved the look of the gold wheels too but did not like everything else about 14” square setup so had to give it up.

Square means all 4 corners have same size tires and wheels
@@urbanacres7189 correct. Mine doesn't as I don't have the xtr

I like it. I was looking at the same tires for my kodiak. I was torn between getting the 26x11x12 vs 26x12x12 for the rear.

Hello. Great setup and beautifull Grizzly! I think to put this tires to my Grizzly 550. What you think, will it work ok?
Yes it will work just fine. These tires are not too big. They have gone up in price a lot though like everything else
Hi! It doesn't look bad.
How did it ride!? More snappy and playful??
Correct, feels lighter.

Partzilla shows the same part number for the rings for all four wheels, left, right, front rear.

Front and rear have different part numbers. Front is narrower rim.
Great video, how are these tires on gravel road at high speeds ?
They are the best. Only reason you may not like them is if you do deep mud all the time. All round tires and long lasting.
Why did you choose to change, I have the 2021 Grizzly SE, LOVIN IT

Why did you choose the OG Bighorn's vs the 2.0's?
OG are more durable and bigger tread compared to 2.0
@@urbanacres7189 looks great man. I’m waiting on Yamaha to announce their 2022’s I’m more than likely headed back to another Grizzly
I drive on the hard stuff and on grass. The Zilla’s rip up the grass. What tyre you recommend for my use? Is the 14x9x26 bighorn 2 a option (all same size) or would your 12” setup work out better for not ripping the grass lawn?
Don’t go with 9” wide tires as the 14” rims itself are 8” wide. Best would be what I did.
Bighorn 2.0 won’t last as long as the Bighorn originals last. The tread is also more on the original
@@urbanacres7189 yes true, they say the 2.0 is lighter weight so I thought maybe gives a better ride. I like you set up very much though. Difficult choosing, it’s no cheap mod all together… thanks for your help.
Does the machine feel quicker and have more power with the 12" rims ???
Not really because I picked heavier tires. But due to skinny fronts steering feels lighter and that is what I was going for.
@@urbanacres7189 the reason why I ask about the felt power is because I just barely traded in a 2017 grizzly that had the 708 motor for a new 2023 grizzly xtr that has the 14" zillas and the 686 motor.

@@brennenlee7715the xtr is geared lower from the factory vs the regular grizzly.
@@jessecameron7268 I don't think thats accurate... The latest grizzly with the 686 motor is geared lower than the 708 grizzly was... but the clutching is the same across all models
Did you try Bighorn 1.0 26x9-14 fronts and 26x11-14 rears with your original XTR 14'' wheels?
No 14” wheels are too wide 8” or 8.5”
That is basically too wide for a 9” wide low profile tire running 5 lbs of air. Especially for an off-road only vehicle.
@@urbanacres7189no they are not too wide. They would have worked just fine
What is the off set of the wheels front and back
They are oem Yamaha 12” rims that come on regular Grizzly and Kodiaks
Which year/model were the 12" rims from?
Current non xtr SE model.
How many miles on it. How's it holding up. Thanks.
Not a lot of miles on my machine but I know several people who put well over 3000 miles a year on it and the machines hold up really well. I have not had any issues with my machine
26x9x12 fronts
26x12x12 rears
??
Yes correct
Do the 9” wide front tires fit well on the OEM 12” front wheels?
Where did you buy the black rims?
OEM - Dealer
What was the rim size and off set thanks frank
12” oem rims. They are standard on Grizzly and Kodiaks
@Urban Acres ok thank you
What kind of wheels and offsets?
These are oem 12” rims. Don’t know all the specs on top of my head. But they come standard on lower trim Grizzly
Why didn't you just use the new tires with the 14" rims?
New tires are for 12” rims. And original 14” rims are designed for square setup that means front rim is same width and the rear rim and too narrow of a tire won’t fit.
@@urbanacres7189they actually would have still fit just fine if you had it. Went with a 14 inch version. The slightly now our rim is not going to make that much of a difference. Perfect.
