Default Pure Sports Realter - - My opinon.. What's yours?

Well, I got a set of 22x12x10 on some douglas .190 rims. Installed them in the sand direction and took them for a ride.

Not too impressed. I have them set at 3.5lbs of air and they seem really rough (harsh) on the trails. I live in Florida, so the trails are sandy but there is also some hard pack dirt here too.

They hook up traction wise real good (almost too good). Great for the straight line runs, but powering out of a corner, they'll grab and want to throw the quad in a straight line where-ever it may be pointed at that time (scary if there's trees lining the trail). Made the quad ride entirely differently. I had it dialed for whoops and MX style riding,.. the realters almost made it unrideable. I should spend the time and tune the shocks for the tires, but I don't know if it will be time well spent or not.

Also, the taller tire brought back the infamous quirky steering (I installed a set of Baja tires on mine, got rid of the Kenda's... fixed practically all the bump steer). Now I need a set of 23" front's to fix that problem again... or a set of A-Arms...

So, are they worth keeping for trail riding? anybody else use them as their daily rear tire?

I have a set but don't use them every day. I use them when I am in mexico, lots of sand and some hard pack. I run 5lbs of air in mine. Try to flip them around for dirt and see if that is any better. I put the XCT holeshots 23's on the front of mine and got rid of all the steering issues I also love the ground clearance and handling of the 23. I would do new tires before A-arms and see what happens.

So, I guess no-one ever used a set of Realters other than us.

I'll take that hint and find another set of tires to use......

i have realtors, for the first lil while i used them as everyday tires but it was very dry here so i got another set, and kept the realtors for winter, which did work somewhat well but as soon as you got it just spun so much it'd sink, threw snow like there was no 2morrow, like 20-30ft on the river in 5th, i now use them for wen i'll be runnin primarily soft conditions, won't run them wen its dry cuz they do wear noticably, but if your staying in the soft stuff you'll be fine, and you should experiment with tires pressures and directions, i really do like how hard it grabs
