I'm looking at getting some paddle tires for my DS 650. I know what the tire size is but don't know what the rest means. Here is the two different ones I am looking at. Should I go 10 inch or 9 inch on the rims and what is 160 ver. 190 ? B N ???

22-11-10 2PR DUNE RUNNER tires on 10X9 3B+6N 4/143 .190 Douglas Aluminum Wheels.
22-11-9 2PR DUNE RUNNER tires on 9X9 3B+6N 4/143 .190 Douglas Aluminum Wheels.

Right now I have 22 ITP'S on the rear and 23's in the front with a 15 tooth front sprocket.
Which setup would you guys go with ?

 

My vote goes to the 9inch rim for better ride quality and less chance on damage to the rim due to the extra side wall in the tire. Stay with the 190s for a stronger rim. I have NO clue what the B+N has to do with !! Perhaps offset or something??

How many paddles are you running on the tire ??

What kind of mods do you have on your DS ?

 

It all depends on where you prefer to ride. The wider width is better for flotation on the sand where the narrower width is better in trail riding. IMO I prefer the Sand Star's over the Dune Runnners.

 

AS far as mods go it has been jetted, end cap and CDI box. 22 Itp in the front 23 in the rear with a 15 tooth sprocket.

 

(.190 vs .160)All it means is that the .190 is a stronger wheel.The .160 should be ok,but the .190 will handle more abuse.The ds is a heavy bike,throw in some jumping or riding in rough terrain,I'd would then probably go with the .190.Not sure on the b and n.Hope this helps.

 

hey derek, when are you gonna bring the ds to shamong for some real wheelin. darren.

 

When ever you want. I ride every Sunday around the corner from my house are you going . D

The 3B and the 6N are your backspacing on the wheel
