that tire had 30 psi in it- heavy wet alder that i fetched from the lower part of my property after bark bettles killed em. it blew up this spring and i put a boat trailer 4x4x6 tire from wal-mart on it, much better now. I made that trailer out of a old headace rack from a pickup, one day with a torch, wire-feed and some extra expanded metal sure paid off as i have drifted that trailer into tree's at high speed, its been pulled down the 4 lane highway floored at 52mph and much more with no signs of abuse yet.
I wish I had a digital camera when my rubi was new, thats when it really got abused hard- i keep it looking like new with honda spray cleaner and polish

Beautiful!!
I took this picture about 100 miles ago.
This is an early 01, the "problem" year for the Hondamatic.
ZERO problems. IMO it's the greatest transmission ever put in an ATV.
Change the oil every 500 miles and use only Honda filters and Valvoline 10w40 ATV oil.
If this one ever wears out I'll buy another one.
