Why do the manufacturers, in this case Honda put narrower tires on the front ? My opinion is that it makes the UTV or ATV steer easier, but I don't know if that's the reason or not. Has anyone talked to a factory rep or engineer and know for sure why they do that. It seems everybody wants wider tires on the front because the narrow ones; sink in the snow and mud, so everybody buys new tires and rims. Why doesn't Honda or any manufacturers make a UTV or ATV with the same size tires all around? It's a great deal for aftermarket suppliers. This ought to be a good discussion topic. Give me your thoughts.
