30" or Larger Tires?

Anybody running 30" or larger tires on 700-4?

Welcome to the Club @rrabaca73 !! I am running 28's.

Check out this post. He's got 30's on there, not sure about what lift he's using or if he's got rubbing issues. I have 26's myself, will go with 28's next time though.

Thank you @Tflynn !! I thought about telling him about these guys too but like you said I wasn't sure about the issues that they may or may not be running into.

Had 28 with 3" lift they rubbed when turning and the wheel was tucked.

30's are gonna rub but you can fit them with a 3" or bigger lift.

I'm running 30x11wide all around, have the Xtreme 3" lift

I really think 30" and bigger is too much for the 700. Even with power mods i wouldn't do it.

With my 28" tires, there were some rocky hills that it wouldn't pull and some mud holes that it would spin the tires in 4-lock. Also, I had a custom exhaust, K&N, and tuner.

For the most part, I like the 28" tires and would put them on again on a P700 but it would suffer with 30" tires in my opinion.

30" tires with a gear reduction portal lift would be the ticket, let me go grab $4000 and do it

 

[joeymt33]

$4000?! Give me two sets and I'll double the gear reduction and lift.

 

[Tflynn]

Why stop there? How about five portal lifts and monster truck tires?? Hahaha!

 

[joeymt33]

I like the way you think!

I think the 700 is a little under powered to run 30's on steep rocky terrain or deep gooey Alabama clay.
General trail and deep waterholes yeah. 28's were doable but not 4-up on rocky ledges. It didn't have the torque to climb them with 1000lbs of meat onboard.

I had 28" tires and I think that is max because the engine struggled on steep hills and they rubbed the firewall. If you want 30" tires, plan on some custom forward arched A-arms, lift, and power adders.

I don't understand. My neighbor has a Polaris 570 with 32" tires. (A-arms and lift) That machine turns the 32" tires. I've witnessed it in some deep thick mud. Why won't my Honda handle it and what would I need to do to get there?

My guess is that 570 has more horsepower. The 700 has I believe 33 hp, not much for 700cc but to me that explains why the engine has such great longevity and reliability.

What do you need to do to get there? Winning the lottery would be a good start! Haha but seriously, a portal lift would be the simplest way to successfully add 32" tires. Otherwise you'll need a big lift, forward a-arms, and probably looking at a turbo. So like anything, it can be done, just how much will you want to spend?

Also, with that added power and tire size an axle upgrade will likely be necessary
