Get the Kenda Bear Claws...they are cheap, and good mud tires, and will be good gor the 200SX.
I have Kenda Scorpion tires...Don't get them, they suck in mud.
I wouldn't get any bigger tires than the Bear Claws for the 200SX, If you do get bigger tires they will rob the horsepower. If you have the money and really want more speed and power then go get it bored out, maybe a port and polish to while your at it.

A lift kit for the 200SX would be damn awsome...they need more ground clearance in mud(personal experience)...you should try making blocks to go under your shocks...take some pictures when you are all done if you do it.

Take a look at those Bear Claw tires, the lugs on them are pretty big but not too big so they will rob your horsepower.

recommend maxxis surtraks

only 2ply.........but still take a pounding

being only 2 ply they should be a bit lighter....robbing less hp

200sx has a lift kit on it lol.......the suspension on the front is set up high already

On the back with my skid plate it's like 2inches...LOL...I will double check it with the tires pumped up.

Get the Bear Claws...they are way better than what pudding said(no offence). Bear Claws are a good all around tire...mostly in mud.

Hey pudding...can you adjust the rear shock at all, so it's more stiff?? or higher...I know the fronts can't be adjusted.
