| I’m considering going with a 26” ITP Bajacross on a 14” rim on my Rhino, & was wondering sense I ride in a lot of rocky areas should I stay with a 12” to prevent cutting or slicing side walls? A lot of the guys out west (on RhinoForums.net) say if you go with a bigger rim, you are more likely to cut the side wall in the rocks. So my question to you southern guys is, is this true?
Both tires have pros & cons, but I really like the way the 14”s look, and like the fact that they may make it a little less tipsy. What are you guy’s seeing out there, & what do you prefer? | |

| 14' are more for bling or for higher speed driving since the tire doesn't flex as much.. With 25-26" wheels I'd stay with 12".. It will ride smoother and does give you more protection from pinching the sidewall... | |

| They don't make a 27" Bajacross, but they do make a 28". Would they fit without doing anything special? What size tire are most people running on Rhinos now days? | |

| Been running 14" wheels since I bought my Teryx and never had any problems with sidewalls. Running BajaCross 28x10x14's all the way around and would not trade them for any other tire!
PS the tires yank is referring to are only 6 ply | |
