what kind of tires does a 400ex come with (stock), and are they any good for trail riding and hill climbs, i'm thinking of putting them on my 250X for that purpose, let me know what your opinion is, thanks

 

i dont know what they are called specifically but im pretty sure they are made buy dunlap and they are radial tires and ive heard them been referred to as some of the best sport bike stock tires.

 

The rears are Ohtsu M/R 501 fronts are 101. I have a 2000. Don't know if they have changed. I like them alot. They are very good for a stock tire.

 

I have a 01 and they have the ohtsu tires on as well. I am very impressed with them. They a lot better in the snow than I had figured they would be.

 

sorry bout that.

 

where can you but them what size can you get them in.

 

hondaboy5,
The Ohtsu, sometimes called the "Oater", is the original tire that came on the 250R's and were, and are now, used for racing by some because of their good traction and light weight. The weight advantage is due to their relatively thin sidewall, which is a drawback ir rocky terrain.

 

Ohtsu rules, there is an ad in dirt wheels,RONNIE'S,page77. may 2001 issue. These tires are awesome for trail riding. My opinion! I have razors on right now, haven't tried them on dirt yet(currently studded)
Only bad thing about ohtsu is the weak sidewalls. Whatever you get, don't go to a dealer, always more expensive.

 

Chapparal carries them too. They are awesome! I run them at the dunes at 2.5 psi and pull wheelies all over.

 

The ohetsu (or however it is actually spelled!) tires are exceptionally good for a stock tire, My friend runs them on his warrior for road and trail riding (Isn't there a law somewhere forbidding that??!?! ) They hookup awsome for him in just about all terrains we encounter, Nothing exceptional in each area, just a good variety. I would be scared to run them full time on my banshee though, The tire spin seems to efficiently eat away at the front of the lug, and the thin sidewall is a definate no-no where I ride.
