Default Need Help!

I have the Honda Rincon and want to change the factory tires and rims. Are the ITP rims as strong as the factory rims? Also, I need to pick a tire. Most all of my riding will be trail, forest, dirt. I guess a all around tire. Some of the trails that we are on, have rocks that move. Small rocks about 12" to 16" in diameter. This being the case, the sides have to be tough as well. I am thinking about the Terra Cross or the Dirt Devils.

Would these be the best choices for what I am doing?

The factory wheels are actually very thin. It does not take much to bend or break. I have Motosport alloy pikes peak wheels with Swamp lite tires. I had Mud Lite xl's but they were too agressive for te riding that I do. Anyone that has the swamp lites all have said good things about them. I love them. What year Rincon do you have? Have you checked out RinconRiders.com?

Thanks for the response. I just bought a new 06 for $6,499. I have tried RinconRiders but I was never able to log in after three weeks of trying and sending them 4 e-mails asking for help, I gave up on their web site. Too bad!

If you do little mud I'd suggest the Titan or ITP 489's. Nice comfortable trail tire and strong. Good enough for lite mud but not real agressive tread.
