Tires
#1
Ok well I'm in the market for new back tires and I've came to realize, that there are very few tires the same size as the stock ones. I want to keep the stock rims, but do not want to run Ohtsu's again, because they wear to fast. I am looking into either the Razr's or Holeshots and I was wondering if a 20*11*9, which is the closest size either come in will fit on the rim, because the stock tires are 20*10*9

Yes, they will fit perfectly. The reason or, one of the reasons people go to a 22" tire like I did, is because they want better ground clearance. I gained almost an 1 1/2" over the stock tires on my Raptor. This is great for mountain trail riding and desert riding where rocks jump out of no where.

Also, you might consider having a ring added to the inside of your rear rims and possibly the fronts if you want them. I have the taller tires, and the inner & outer rings, which I find to be an excellent combination for protection as well as looks.
Another item to note, tire sizes, are NOT exact. 20x11x9 tires in one brand, could be physically the same size as 20x10x9's of another. Most tires, aren't as big as the size states. Get out a measuring tape and you'll know for yourself just how far off the sizes really are. I'm not sure who is measuring these things at the factory, but that person needs to be beaten about the head and shoulders.

Blackhawk.
A very true statement. Its even true in the Holeshots. My wife bought these Holeshots for my birthday and she brought home the 20" tires. Well I wanted 22" tires. before returning the 20" I measured them Sitting on the table. They actualy measured 21" tall. Once I got the 22" home I measured them, they were exactly 22" tall.
