Default Warrior tire size

I need to replace the rear tires on my Warrior. The bad tires are 22x10-9. I have an pair of 21x11-9s already mounted on rims that came with the quad, but the holes for the wheel hub do not match the existing wheel hub. I'm assuming that I'll have to either buy new tires or a matching wheel hub. I don't see any information about different sized wheel hubs available for the Warrior, so was it a complete mistake that I got those other tires/rims? I wouldn't even know what size hubs to get if I were to try to use those wheels.

I was looking for a way to get the free shipping on Amazon so I decided to bite the bullet and order replacement 22x10-9 tires -- was that the way to go?

You could have just put the 21x11x9 tires on your stock Warrior wheels. Any tire shop could have done the work.

A tire shop would of just put your 21x11-9 on your 9" rims for $20.
Maybe you did the right thing , not sure if the smaller 21" tire would of thrown your gearing out of whack to something you do not like, plus sport ATVs really can,t afford to lose anymore ground clearance as it is.

The wider tire wouldn't have been an issue on the same rim? Forgive me, I don't know anything about tires.

I actually wouldn't mind a smaller diameter tire, because I do a lot of low-speed (first gear) driving through the woods. Clearance might be a bit of an obstacle, though.... We'll see. I think I'll try that.

I found out this morning that my card was closed because of fraud so it won't be a problem to modify the order!

No, wider would not of mattered . You must have at least a 7" wide rim or wider.
My 7.5" rim has a 11" wide tire and I could of went to 12" wide tire if I wanted to ,stock was a 10" wide tire .

I ended up having the 21x11-9 tires mounted earlier this year. I'm happy with them, and best of all, they're not cracked and leaking air! I like the wider tire... seems more sure-footed in the rugged terrain, perhaps better traction, and the smaller diameter seems to be better for slow-going. The difference in ground clearance isn't noticeable.

I just re-read the 1st post, and about the hub sizes, the rims that you had that wouldn't fit were probably 9" wheels for a Honda or other brand. Different brands use different bolt patterns and different axle splines on the hubs, so most are not inter-changeable. Most 9" Yamaha wheels have the same bolt pattern. In fact, all Warriors, Banshees, 450's, and Raptors use the same 9" rear wheel bolt pattern. 8" wheels on the Blasters use a different hub and bolt pattern.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably sell those other rims if I can figure out what they're for. I also have an extra pair of hubs, but I think they're Warrior so I'll keep them. I'll post pics here tomorrow, if I remember....
