what are the best rear tires to put on a moto 4 225 the tires i have on it now are 25x12x9 but they are old and crappy and i am tired of getting stuck because my tires are bald

 

The biggest thing for a machine like that 225, which is horribly underpowered, is to keep the tires small and lightweight. I would try to go with a 22-11-9 or 22-12-9 rear tire on it. What kind you get depends on your riding style, but I would suggest something like Kenda Bear Claws or Maxxis Sur-Tracs. Both of those are relatively lightweight, inexpensive, long lasting, and would make a night and day difference with that old moto 4.

What size are your front tires? If those are 25's you're gonna want to step down to a 22 in the front as well, otherwise you're gonna have a weird unstable ride.

 

i use it for hunting i have a newer set of 22x8x10 on the front the only issue that i have is that my tires are bald and i end up spinning alot but it seens to have a lot of power also my concern is that i high center alot so i want to keep the ground clearence up

 

I'd still try to stay with a lighter tire, even if you decide on a 25", unless you really want something more aggressive like the AMS Swamp fox or Interco Swamplites. Those tires have more bite than the lighter ones I suggested, but they're signifigantly heavier.

 

my buddy has a recon 250 and has had good luck with ITP mudlites. I love my maxis sur-traks on my wolverine, and also love my GBC dirt devils on the back of my Polaris Trailboss 325, three good tires to look into

 

Another fan of the mudlites here, get the smaller AT version instead of the XL.

GO WITH THE CLAWS FOR SURE.

 

Another vote for the Mud Lites. Cheap and good.

 

Mudlites are a good performing tire, the only thing I don't like about them is that their tread compound, as well as many other ITP tires, seems really soft and fast-wearing compared to klaws or sur traks.
