Has Anyone with Oem Fender on SLR run a larger tire?

  • My SLR LE came with a 305-30-20 and Polaris makes fenders for that size; however, I'm running a 315-35-20, and would like to know if anyone else has tried a larger tire with that fender?

  • I'm curious to see more discussion on this. I have the stock 305-30-20 on my SLR as well and I've ordered a fender from Polaris that should be here soon. My question is, when it's time for a new tire back there, will I be able to go with a slightly taller tire with the 20 inch wheel or will I have to drop down to an 18 inch wheel so the taller tire will fit under the fender and also not be pressed against the swing arm?
