28" swamplites on a rhino

[sledhead]

Has anyone tried 28" swamplites on a rhino? Just wondering if they will work without using a lift. Currently have 26's on now. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe they do.

might need a clutch kit. rhino is pretty gutless in reverse if your in a big or something.

IMO I wouldn't put swamplites on a UTV, you want something with a paddle shape like Zilla's, Big horns, or Kendas, there are many brands to choose from

I have seen swamplites on a rhino kicking ass on the trail and skeg. I think it is a good choice.

I've got a clutch kit along with a cold air intake and an msd. So I'm not too worried about reverse. I like the swamplites, I have 3400km on my 26's now just want to up size to the 28's. I've got a long driveway to plow this year so the tires are taking a beating. Thanks for the feedback.

I had 28 Mudzillas on for a while, they worked quite well, but I always had that feeling something was ready to pop. I now have 26 swamplite on my rig and feel much better. For the extra inch of clearance it might be costly. I suggest you borrow a set of 28inch tires from a friend and try them before you buy another set of tires.

are you running a 12 or 14" wheel? i found the 14's got beat up real quick vs the 12's. i run a 26" itp mudlite on my rhino, works good. had the itp terracross on my rhino that got stolen, found those to be a nice trail tire.

I've got a friend that was running 26" zillas and he was having the same problem. Busting axles replacing frt diff and wheel brgs. He has 27" xtrs no with no problems.
