ok, my quad came with these really wide tires, an inch over stock tires to wide...whats this gonna do for/against me? i imagine better traction, but as far as performance whats it gonna do? it looks like a quad with a big butt, but i cant afford new tires so i'm stuck with them. any input about what these tires are gonna do?

 

an inch isn't going to make a noticable difference at all. I don't know how you can even tell the difference by looking at it.

 

trust me, thers a difference....or maybe its cause i'm used to skinny bike tires....eitherway, they stick out past the fenders, its real ugly

 

It looks ugly with the tires sticking out past the fenders? Maybe you haven't been into sport quads very long to catch on to this, but wider is better!

And just looking at your pictures, I can tell you the rear end is wider than the front because your rear wheels are offset, not because your tires are wider. If you put your tires and wheels on opposite sides and keep the same tread direction it will reverse the offset and the rear will be a few inches narrower, back to stock width.

 

got a problem with a narrow front end?

 

i just put 22-12-9 kenda bearclaws on my rear and 22-8-10 on my front they look great in my opinion and cant wait to try them out this spring i ride trails, why would you want skinny little tires anyway? just my 2 cents.

 

no this is my first real "sport quad" if u wanna call it that...and i am turning the rims around, that helps a whole lot...ok, well i was just wondering if this was gonna slow me down at all...thanks guys
