Ok,, a tire question
I noticed on a tire thread, that the front tires should be one inch taller than the rear. If that is the case, why are both the front and rear the same size of 25" on mine? When I bought it used, the seller said they were the original tires on it.
I'm considering buying paddle tires for the dunes soon, and the closest size I can find is a 26/10-12 which would put the back tires taller than the front.

With it being 4x4 i would think that the same tire size would be ok. In the dunes i dont think it would matter as much as it would in mud, thinner frount in sand is mainly for directional since the paddle tires on the back should be enough to get it moving. Although paddle tires on front and rear look awesome and moves forward, turning might be an issue.

It would be the stock 25" on the front, and paddle tires on the rear. So far I haven't found a 25/10-12 or a 25/11/12 paddle tire for my bike. If anyone knows where either of these sizes could be found, I'd appreciate a heads up.
TIA
