Gettin` ready to order new tires for my 400ex... Rear tires and rims are, 22X11X9 on 9X8 rims.... These sure are a big loking tire... What is stock size and, what size can I put on this rim??? I`m looking at a 6ply Razor,Holeshot, or Kenda

 

im doing the same thing, i think the stock rear are rear20-11-9 im not shure about the rims thow

 

Stock tire size for the rears is 20x10x9. I am not sure what size you could run. Are you looking to go taller or smaller than the stock 20x10x9's. Remember, taller tires will take away power and increase your overall top speed, while smaller tires will make your EX accellerate faster but lower top end speed. As far as your tire choices I would go with either the Holeshots or the Razr's. I am currently running regular Holeshots (stock size on my 400), it goes 70MPH with these tires. I am biased to the ITP's. If you want 6-ply do not go with the regular Holeshots. They are only made in 4-Ply. You will need Holeshot XC's, XCR's or something like that. Check out ITP's website for more info. I don't know if you have already found tires to buy or where you are located, but I just purchased 2 front Holeshots from Trax MotorSports (http://traxms.com/). I did alot of looking around and they had the best deal. Holeshot XCT's are $74 bucks apiece for the 22x11x9 size. They are 6-ply. I have not seen this size in other Holeshot tires. If this price is too much I suggest going down to the 20x11x9 XC's, they are only $63 apiece. Regular 4-ply Holeshots for the 20x11x8, 20x11x9 or 20x11x10 size only run $53.

 

actually,I would like a "thinner" tire?? these look so big ...just not quite right???I haven`t ridden it enough to tell what I need as far as height... It seems to accelerate pretty good and runs fast enough on my little evening ride I get to take but, never been anywhere serious.. yet!!

 

I have 22-11-9 Razr2's on my 400ex. When they are worn out I am going to by another set of the same thing. They rock.

 

Tell us something about your riding conditions. That is the all important factor!

I ride desert, and after trying many different tires over the years, I have settled on Holeshot XC's (22" front/20" rear) for all my sport bikes. These are 4 ply front and 6 ply rear, and absolutely indestructible! I recently got a set of Holeshot XCT's (23" front/22" rear), but find they make the bike to tall and tippy. I will reserve them for desert racing on a bike that has been widened. I recently tried Holeshot H-D's, and found them to be very quirkey on desert hardpack.

One thing I do is run ITP rims (10X5" front/9X9" rear). These are wider and have a greater offset than stock or Douglass, and it makes the bike something like 3" wider in the rear, and 2" in front. A nice increase on stability!

 

good point... mostly harder packand leaning more towards a recreational style of riding... I will get on some mountian trails now and then... I`m a 275 pounder also... As I get used to this quad, I`m sure I`ll be riding as fast as I can....lol!!!
