I went to Nac's Racing yesterday and had a set of 20x11x9 Turf Tamers put on my Raptor. NOW the thing slides like a 2 stroke. I am smiling from ear to ear here. I think once I flip my linkage this thing will be awesome. What did you guys who flipped the linkage do w your suspension settings? My settings are stock, and I'm about 195 lbs. Any suggestions?

Hey raptor24, I've been thinking about some Turf Tamers for mine, but I want a tire that is the same height as the stockers. Are yours actually 20" tall? I flipped the linkage on mine and love it! It lowered the center of gravity, which made the bike corner tons better. It made the ride a little more rigid, but you can soften up the compression and that helps. Please reply about the tires, i'm ready to order some. Also, what wheels did you go with?

I tried the Raptor out today w the Turfs and WOW!!! I felt like I was on a 2 stroke again- I dont know if the tires are actually the exact same height as the stockers, but they are so close. Powerslides are a piece of cake.
I did flip my linkage today to but I am a little worried. The bolt that holds the linkage to the shock is JUST scraping the swingarm, is this happening on everyones- its not much, just like the edge of one thread is rubbing. Hope the feed back on the tires helps. later

I also have Turf Tamers, although it is on a warrior. I love them.

They have stiffer side-walls as not to pitch in a slide as much as some of the stock sized tires like to do. About 3.5psi.. Good luck.
