I have 22" Realtors on my ds650 and right now its so dry that they are starting to wear, i want to keep them in good shape for winter since i have skis for it, i was wondering what a good cheap tire/rim combo would be? I'm limited on funds so preferably cheap 2

Turf Tamers are one of the best hard pack tires and they are also inexpensive.

do your 22 inch realtors rub against your stock plastic heel guards?

Hey Lilnotts:

Where abouts in Ontario are you, I am 40 minuites east of Ottawa and I was thinking of putting a set of ski's on my Baja also. Do you have any advice? I have and old issue of dirt wheels that has a Readers Ride that has Ski's! Have you seen that Ride and did you do something similar? Any info would be great

That is exactly the picture that I was talkin about! Do you have any ideas? I have access to a machine shop, so I will most probably remove the original spindles and make my own accomodate the ski's.
