Hi guys, I've got 1200 miles on my Rubicon and the oringal DirtHook front tires are nearly worn smooth, because about 300 of those miles were on asphalt around town (we're allowed on the roads in our dinky southern Utah towns).

I'm new to ATV'ing this year, and I don't know what I should replace them with. I'd like something that will wear longer this time.

But do I want to put 25" Blackwaters on the original rims, or buy 27" rims and Blackwater XTs (what will that buy me?), or is there a better choice for me (like a more original tread TrailWolf)?

To help: our usage is about 25% putting around town, about 70% is pretty serious rock and dirt trails (Piute/Fremont trail systems), and the other 5% is snow-riding. Very little mudding around here.

Thanks for any input,

Nathan

Go with the widest tread,long tread like Blackwaters will work good.

 

I see part of my post was stupid. I know we're talking about 12" rims, not 27". But can the 27" XTs be fitted on my original Honda rims, or do I have to buy something like the Magnums? And is it worth it to get the new rims?

Thanks, Nathan

 

The 27" tires will fit on your stock rims.

 

Goattrotter what do you mean by "sorry soon stock"?

 

When i finally figured how to make my profile i was suppose to have my ruby in the garage by then but it got delayed again in Canada.Then someone said i was fibbing because they are not in Canada yet so i changed it till i get it,if ever.
