Wondering if anyone has tried 12" wheels yet? 12" sand tires are becoming more available but I haven't seen any advertisements for 12" wheels, do they make them for a DS? Dirt wheels tried out a set of 12s in one of their tire tests and they did very good. I am planning on 22" haulers, I may try to find some 12" wheels front and back. Anyone...?

 

Oh yea, and if you have 12s is the profile on the rear paddles round or more square?

 

I've never tried ANY paddle tires...YET. When i do, i plan to use the 12" wheels and tires. ITP makes a wheel that'll fit the DS in a 12"(Magnums?).

I'm curious to hear how others that have used them like em...???

 

I have the 12 itp magnums and love them they get awesome traction and are the best allaround preforming sand tire for the ds's (thats my opion) well good luck!!

I had to do a lot of cleaning on that one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] i guess those that say you shouldn't drink and type are right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

When it comes to tires AZSand is the man. (First time I met him last year at DS Days he almost needed a trailer just to haul all the different tires he had!)

One nice thing I noticed when I went from 20" tires on 10" rims to 22" tires on 10" rims was the rims don't ding up as much. I think if anything I will go with a smaller rim in the future and stay with the 22" tires. There are some rocks on the outside areas of our dunes so, anything to prevent the rims from getting dinged up is a +.

 

I second what AZsand said. I'm on my forth set of rear tires and I'll get 12" when these are done. I think the tires are 23" and really seem to hook up. The DS is heavy and sinks in soft sand so the bigger tires you get, the less time you will spend stuck and looking foolish. The sets I've seen have a low profile sidewall and don't balloon much so have a square profile.

 

Ive also run 12" ITP magnums with 23" haulers. They work great and look awesome. I have resently taken them off my DS,and put them on my wifes V-force. They work great on the V-force as well. I am going to a Tripple buff for the DS.





BIgger.

 

Are the ds and the v-force rims interchangable?????

 

The fronts on the V-force are Honda, so the ITP fronts mount right on, cause of the larger bolt holes, The rears had to be re-tapped for the Kawi bolt pattern.




bigger.

 

can you still get ITP magnums in 4-143 ?
