You could break an axle with the stock tires if you're not careful. Silverbacks have big lugs and you got to be careful. 27's be safe stock but they are way heavier. If you want to clutch 28's or up to 30's but still careful thumb with any big lug tires. I ran 28" Backs with one prob but have to blame my thumb in the end. I have been running 29.5's for awhile now with no probs.

If I could go back and do it all over again I would probley buy 29.5 Outlaws. I'm sayin this after having 2 sets of SB's. If they make a 29.5 in a 14" rim I'll be the first to own a set!!!
If your looking at 28's just go up to the 29.5 outlaws. Ride WAY better and don't weigh a bunch more.
My dirty thirty's beat the hell out of me every second your on the bike. Ya they chew like crazy and will out handle and side hill better then a law but they are rough rough rough!
