Default Where to find 18x11-9 tires?

I want new tires for my ds250 because

-stock tires have worn down quite a bit

I want smaller tires because

1) results in better acceleration
2) lowers ride height slightly

Does anyone know where to find this size of tires in Canada?

Would the rear tires off an suzuki lt-r450 work? the lt-r45 has "AT18 x 10 R8" tires, im not sure if they would fit on ds250 rims.

I've never heard of maxxis razr tires coming in that size. I looked on the maxxis site and they had an 18x11-8 tire, but i think i would need new rims/wheels for that.... and that would cost about 500$$ i think,
If i can't find any tires that measure exactly 18x11-9, i will probably just go with lt-r450 tires if the bolt pattern is the same (it looks the same, almost all of them do)

I suppose i could go with new sprockets to increase acceleration, but then i am stuck with a tall and tippy ride

you can always run a shorter set of shocks all the way around with a set of 20" tires and be a lot more stable.

ya but wouldnt shorter shocks give less travel most of the time? But if you find shorter shox with more travel than stock ds250, PM ME!!! PLZ!!!, i need to find better suspension for my quad, cuz stock is stiff on trails but bottoms out on jumps really easy!!

How could 20inch tires be mroe stable than 18 inch tires?
