question i am building my daughter a 80 and i wanna know if anyone knows what size tires i m looking for i live in a small town and must order everythin with out seeing them!!!!!!! im widening it out at least with the 5 in kit i want the smallest flatest looking tires this is mainly for looks because we have not got a local race track any help would be apreciated also any links to tires or rims or pics of ur lt80 thanks

 

I put turf tamers on out LT80, and it turned it into a different bike! Made the bike wider and way more stable (safe!). I got them from James Lucky. They sell a kit that is rear and front tires.......DO NOT get the fronts! They are to big and will make the bike push badly in turns. I got a pair of douglas rims that matched the back ones, and put the stock tires on those, and the bike looked and handled great!

I have a set of 16 inch Snow hogs (same as mini badlands) Makes them look like a little racer for sure they are not even a full 16 tall. Great for racing but didn't leave enough clearance for the trails we ride, really flat tread profile. I would part with them pretty cheap they look 99 percent tread. Just an idea they were great for ripping around just didn't work for the trails and rocks. Looked hot though.

 

I have 2 18x6.5x8 Holeshots that work well. They are on the short side though. (16" tall with 15psi in them) My son saved his birthday money and bought 2 18x9.5x8 shredders on douglas blue labels. The look super sharp, but they make the quad look like a pro streeter. They also made the rear about 6" wider. While most want their LT's wider, it does make them harder to turn and harder to get through the woods. I know for a fact a stock LT80 is more stable on hillsides than a Sportsman 500 or 700. Been there turn that over!! I think most parents see JR get a wheel off the ground and think its unstable. While in fact they are more stable than most adult quads and instead of making them wider, maybe they ought to modify the kids riding style. Just a though!!

The tire and wheel kits from JL uses stock size front tires. Those listed are what was on ours stock, front and rear (20x6x8). I know they are different on newer ones but thats what came on ours.

If money is not a problem, then I would put some 19x6x10 holeshots on the front with some Douglas wheels. They look great, and handle great.

 

great point asfasasu, "modify kids riding style".

I put Cheng Shin knobbys on our LT80, 20x7-8. Stock size is 19x7-8. They look a little skinny and tall, but the ground clearance is an issue on our Raptor 80, so i wanted to make sure I didn't lower the LT . These tires are $20 each at rockymountainatv.com.
