First time poster here, and first off I really like this forum. I've been reading it for weeks and now just bought a 2015 w/90 miles, so far so good!
What I don't like however are the small tires on this machine. So I'd like to add new rubber to the existing rims. I found a like new set (but used) of Bighorn 2.0's but the sizing seem a bit odd given the fronts are smaller than the rear, i.e. 25 vs 26.
What do you think about swapping out my originals for this:
2 - 26x11-12
2 - 25x8x12
Is this workable or not ideal? Perhaps I'm just better off getting 26's all the way around. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you are getting a killer deal, the 25" on front should work clearance wise. You are only talking about a 1/2" difference. You might want to bump the front shock up one notch to compensate. But, from a 4wheel drive standpoint, probably want to keep all tires the same OD. While I think it is OK for the fronts to be pulling slightly, you would want more of an expert than I, to chime in. There is about 3" difference per tire revolution, and the backs would be pushing.
