ATV Tire Sizes: 2026 Sportsman and Outlander Front/Rear Pairs

Order ATV tires using the exact front/rear size pair and wheel application, not the engine-family name alone. A 2026 Sportsman 570 EPS and Touring 570 Premium can share engine displacement while listing different tire and rim sizes. The model’s approved replacement requirements matter more than a generic “fits570” claim.

The examples below use the 2026 Sportsman specification tables and 2026 Outlander DPS sheet. They describe published factory configurations, not a test of replacement tires or approval for a size change.

Keep the front and rear positions distinct

2026 configuration Published front Published rear
Sportsman 570 EPS 25×8-12 25×10-12
SportsmanTouring 570Premium 26×8-14 26×10-14
Outlander DPS 700 25×8-12 25×10-12

In these nominal inch designations, the first number describes nominal tire diameter, the middle number nominal width and the last number the rim diameter. A tire ending in“-12”is not an application for a14-inch rim simply because another number looks similar.

The last tire-size number must match the rim: 570 EPS — 25×8-12 front /25×10-12 rear; Touring Premium — 26×8-14 front /26×10-14 rear; Outlander DPS 700 — 25×8-12 front /25×10-12 rear; Before replacing — Approved size, wheel, ratings, pressure and clearance

The same size label is not complete fitment confirmation

Two products with the same nominal marking can differ in actual dimensions, recommended wheel width, construction and ratings. Check the tire maker’s exact part number and specification along with the vehicle requirements. Do not infer load capacity or puncture resistance from appearance.

Keep the specified front/rear arrangement, approved rim application and drivetrain requirements in view. A single tire that physically seats on a rim is not proof that the complete replacement combination is suitable.

Do not copy pressure from a similar ATV

Use the exact vehicle’s tire/inflation instructions and labels, together with the approved tire application. This guide does not supply a universal ATV pressure or assume that a tire sidewall’s marking is the vehicle’s normal operating recommendation.

Changes in load, wheels or tire type need the applicable instructions, not a pressure number borrowed from another570 or700. Our tire-marking explanation provides vocabulary, while the pressure-verification guide explains why the specification must be identified.

Check the actual clearance and controls

Confirm the full installed combination under the approved procedure, including clearance from suspension, steering and bodywork. Do not assume that a larger nominal diameter raises every relevant vehicle point by a predictable amount or stays within the manufacturer’s approved setup.

Stop using a tire with unsafe damage or an unresolved application problem. Sidewall damage, an incorrect rim match or interference should not be treated as something a lower pressure will automatically cure.

Compare a complete replacement purchase

List front and rear SKUs, quantities, wheel requirements, installation, any required service and delivery costs. Confirm whether a quoted set includes two fronts/two rears or another arrangement. Match the actual approved configuration before comparing tread preference.

The tire selection framework separates application from terrain emphasis. For passenger and load context, see 570 EPS vs Touring Premium and the rack-weight worksheet rather than assuming the tire name increases the ATV’s permitted load.
