Default What tire/rim sizes do you recommend??

I need new tires and I might as well get the rims tooo.....What would you recomend for a stock replacement or even what is a better size to run on a DS650 baja?....I foud it too hard to get the tires i want due to the factory rim & tire size. I do alot of trail riding in ocala florida....Also want to correct the steering shake at high speeds....I have a set of TBR a-arms I'm looking into getting.

I would go for 10x6 douglas 190's with 23" itp holeshot HD front, and 10x9 douglas 190's with 22" itp holeshot xct rears. You should change your front sprocket to a 15 tooth to bring the gearing close to stock with the bigger tires.
I ride 99% trails and tracks and this setup works the best out of all the tires iv'e tried.

You will want the 23's in front & 22's in rear for trail riding. They give you more clearance then the stock size. It's like the DS was made for 22's and 23's. I would never go back to stock size myself.

You can get 125, 160, & 190. Don't waste your money on the others they will bend and dent. The 190's are the strongest rims. Look at my photo's, I have 23" HD fronts and 22" XCT rears.
