Need tire advice

I need some advice from guys with 30 in tires. I'm thinking of getting a set, my question is I have a XP 900. The motor and clutch are stock if I go up to 30 in will I have clutch problems? Or should I just stay with the stock ones until I can replace the clutch? I'm looking at the ITP Black water evolution 30 x 10 x 12. I also have the DWT Diablo beadlock 12 in wheels.

Thanks for any information

30s will make a huge improvement in how well your rig feels. You can get by without a clutch if you run in low more often but you really need a clutch to do it correctly. The Jagged X comes with a clutch kit already so 30s were no issue but I could still tell I lost some bottom end grunt. I am going to 32s but I am also installing a gear reduction at the same time.

I ran the 30" Blackwaters on my 900 2 seater with stock rims without any issues. Like Joe said, just take it easy on the belt and run it in low when on the trails and it will be fine. To fit them though you will either need forward a arms or do the fender mod.

Blackwater are my choice on tires

Without forward a arms or fender mod



With Highlifter plus 2" a arms



It's hard to tell from the pictures but that 2" is the difference from stuffing your tire into the fender and no clearance issues altogether.

Thanks for the input guys. I have not had a problems as of yet with what I have and right now I cant do the clutch and tires so this is looking like a project I am going to have to save up for.
Thanks again for the help
