It's a lot easier to get taller tires. By upgrading to a 3/4 axle, it enables you to use 4/4 hubs available at northern tools. You then upgrade to a 8x7, 4 on 4, trailer wheel, use a 20x7x8 tire. Then your tire choices are opened up. there are tons of atv tires in this size. you get the ground clearance you need plus the taller tire rolls better over the rough stuff.The conversion will set you back about 60 bucks a side, not including the tire but it is well worth it.
