Can you guys tell me what kind of tires and the size you have (or had if did own 200sx) on your Honda 200 trx sx. And were(or are) they good traction???
I have Kenda Scorpions on mine and they are pretty good. The sizes are 20x10-7, 22x11-8, I'm pretty sure of that.

I wanted to know if any of you guys put bigger tires on the same rims...can you do that??

I have dunlop 22X11X8 KT487 on the rear because they are soft and ride better. $58.99 from dennis kirk
I have 20X7X8 Carlisle 4-Max on the front as they are cheap with good tread $24.99 at walmart

Well Wal-Marts up here in Canada don't have ATV tires...do you have to order them or do they have them in stock?...we might have them...if we do we have to order them probably.

I found them with the boat trailer tires.. in stock, but only the front tires are a good deal, the back ones were a total rip off

Those Carlisle tires are the cheapest things I've ever had.I used Fast Trekkers all the way around.21x7x10 and 22x11x8.Great tires.Work with the SX very good.Use that tire for a spare?I don't know about you ,but I can plug one faster than driving to the dealers to have them take them off the rims and switch them.

86200sx?

you had 10 inch front rims?

were they standard on the later ones or something? ie 200 typeII

did they help reduce the bounce

the 86 200sx i had used to run 20-7-8 on the front (same as whats on the front of the trx90....lol....)

on the rear of mine i just had chen-shin tractor grip type things, 22-11-8, they wore well (did a lot of road work), .....i had two sets (i brought a 200sx as a wreck.....so i was set for tires....

as for the bigger tires, just make sure they fit a 8 inch rim on the back. ever tryed to find some 9 inch rims of a 300 2wd or 250 and bolt them on?......put some 22-11-9.....might reduce the bounce?......hey.....get some spaces made up for the back, and slap some 25-12.5-9 on there!


its a light bike (compared to a 4x4 anyway), if playing in the mud keep you rpm up, momentum up, shift you body weight to suit the situation and away you go!.....good mud tires help but not essential
