hey guys im looking to get some aftermarket rear tires pretty much right now (stock) mine su@k feels like im on ice i cant pull a wheelie in the dirt only on the street and every time i ride it su@ks haha so im sure this is going to have a million replies but whats a good rear tire thats about maybe a little under 200 for both maybe on some 190.s or should i keep the stock baja rims with the reinforcements???? thanks guys remember under 200 for 2 on rims maybe ? i looked at rocky mountain and for the itp on rims says 176 for both i think,,,? and what size to get if im not changinf th gears all the mods i have are......... 2002 baja.... end cap.k and n with the air box lid on stock size?

 

First off I use a size bigger tire in both directions. I use a 11 inch wide tire with a 22 inch height. Gives you a little more sidewall flex and a much bigger contact patch. As a side benefit you have a bit more ground clearance.

As for the brand and model it depends a little on what youre doing. I use Shredders and like them. Theyre 4 ply, reasonably durable and inexpensive. If you want the best XC tire go with Maxxis Razr2's, but they arent cheap. The best MX tire is probably (debatably) ITP Holeshots or Maxxis Razr's although I know people who swear by GBC Shredders or others. Also depends alot on the track.

The only real benefit I see to swapping wheels is a small weight reduction. I wouldnt unless youre racing, but that's me.

 

yeh im not racing and i mostly ride in the woods (packed dirt) my dealer is trying to sell me mud sharks or something like that he swears by them??

 

the pure sports bandits are a great tire for woods riding, 6-ply and long lasting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I've had Holeshots on all my quads, and love them!!! I'd suggest keeping the Baja rims, otherwise you'll be hammering flat spots out of the other rims. I'm actually considering buying some ITP Baja rims just because of abuse my 2000 DS rims take.

 

I have had awesome luck racing Desert with the Kenda Klaw and the Knarly. They are 6ply, good traction and cheap!

 

I like the Holeshot XCT 22" front and back with the 190 ITP I love the ground clearence for woods riding and I ride in the southeast area of Oklahoma lost of rocks.l

 

for a knobby tire you cannot beat a turf tamer.you can stay with your stock rims and stock gearing, go with a 20-11-9 the 22's are good but you need to regear.you would drop back to a 15 tooth sprocket.

 

I have the holeshots to and love them
