So right now, I have the stock tires on it: 22x10-12 rear and 22x7-12 front. I mostly do light trail riding with some rocky areas, but also plenty of hard-packed dirt and some asphalt. No mudding.

So ideally, I'm looking for tires that will last a while on those terrains (especially asphalt) while still providing some off-road capabilities. Radials? Not sure.

I'd like to stick with a 23" tire, and *possibly* a 24" tire. I'd consider new hubs as long as they don't break the bank on price. It doesn't need to look flashy.

Any suggestions or help?

 

The Hawk eye is a 300cc right? I would get at least 24" on the rear you will like the added ground clearance. Since its 2wd the fronts and backs do not have to be the same like on a 4x4.

My 350 Grizzly has no low range and handles 25" tires front and back without a problem and its a 4x4 with only 50 more cc displacement.

My friend put larger 24" tires on the Back of his 2wd 300 Kawasaki Lakota and his rear chain sprocket does not hit the rocks like it use to when it had 22". He did leave the fronts at 22" for lighter steering.

 

we used swamp lites and liked them for all around tire. not sure how good they wear as we only had 400 miles onit when we sold it.

 

here is mine i have vampire super swampers and they work just as good as out laws 27/12.5/12 and i looking for a lift for the quad

 

Love it.

 

Aren't those going to be *way* too heavy for the transmission to spin without causing problems?

 

Good question,he must have it reclutched for tires like that.
