Fortunately throughout the years I have had good luck with my tires and stock rims. However I think it is time to get some new meats for the back of the Mojave'. My first question is how do I know what rims to get in terms of size and lug nut spacing to fit the Mojave'. Which is a better rim ITP or Douglas I really like the douglas 0.190 aluminum but are they worth the money ? From the information I have been looking at I am trying to decide between the Maxxis All Trak or Razr or ITP Spyder Tracs I have heard great things on all of them. Any further testomonials or advice good or bad would be great. I ride mostly wooded trails with many creeks and rocks and I would like something that I wont get stuck in the mud with and that can get through some snow as well. Enough blabbing thanks in advance for your responses! This probably should have went in a different forum but I wanted some team green advice

I have the Razrs on stock rims on my Mojaves and 250Rs. They are awesome. Deffantly worth the money. As for rims the Douglas .190 are stronger because they are heat-treated, ITP's aren't. I haven't hadany trouble with the stock rims.

Deffinetly spend the extra $ for the .190's I've seen the damage to .125's and they don't take much abuse. If you plan on leaving the ground or riding near rocks get the .190's. I have PureSport Bandits and I love them. I ride in PA with rocks and mud and I haven't been dissappointed yet. Any repitable mail order place should be able to set you up with the right sizes. Basically just tell them what you ride and what you want. I have only owned Douglas rims and no disappointments wiyh them either.

They hook up good in anything. I run the 4plys. Just no need for 6plys for the riding I do. I have 20x11x10 rears and 21x7x10 fronts.

I still use the stock rims on my Mojave (surprisingly enough they have held up to some serious abuse). Anyhow, when I'm wheel'n through swampy / muddy land I use Spider Trak. They've done fairly well in the snow as well. There is only two things I don't like about them, they are heavy, and too much hook up if you're in anything but mud, snow, etc.

So, for trail riding (and without tearing up the lawn) I have a set that's made by Dunlop (I don't recall the name) but it's tread pattern is very similar to Armstong's Fast Trekker. Believe it or not, I bought them at Discount Tire! Only cost me $58 a piece and they mounted em for me!
