Whiskey, This would be a tough question but the more I look for the right size tires the less of a choice I find. I am about to buy new tires and rims on my 99Scrambler500 too plus the dg front bumper and clutch kit. The only ones that look like they will work is these: if you want a matching set then look at the 22x11x10 Sur Traks for the back and the 23x8x11 Sur Traks on the front. The next set would be the Bearclaws 22x12x10 on the rear and the 23x8x11 on the front. If you want to mix and match sets then you will probably have to go with either of the two front 23x8x11 tires I mentioned above (BTW these are the only 23 inch tires I can find for the front that would be good on a 4x4) Mud shark makes a 23 front but not a 22 rear and of course you could get the titans but those come on it stock. If you get the 23s on the front you could go with 22 inch blackwaters, realtors, or mudmachines on he rear. I am going to get the bearclaws just for the extra 1 inch width on the rear. 23x8x11 on the front and 22x12x10 on the rear. I think after looking at every tire combo made this might be the best one for the scrambler. Later, Steve

i though about the bearclaws but when i gas it with these stock tires it stands up and spin alot if i put them bearclaws on i probabley could not keep the front end down and this is not a joke. i probabley get the stock ones again they aint bad tires i seen how you said you are getting a clutch kit a would get a pipe also i just got one and it helps a lot it was a hotseat superheader you will probably have to wait a while a had to wait 3 weeks but they could me it was not ready it is ready now and it is a real good pipe it makes it a little louder you can ride wheelies really good even if you lean forward it cost $250 it is worth it well thanks for the info

Hey Whiskey, where do you ride? I ride some old strip mines in the East Texas area.
