Tires for Honda TRX 90
#3
I think Cheng shin knobbys are about the best bang for the buck you'll find. They are $20 each, from rockymountainatv.com + delivery, no taxes. the tire size is 20x8-8, and will easily fit your Honda. the knobby pattern is great for all purpose riding. It's what they use on dirtbikes (knobbies I mean).
I put them on our LT80 and LT160 (fronts), and I'm pretty sure my stock sizes were identical to yours. I have an old manual tire machine. I agree it's a real treat to try and break the bead, but I found a trick that worked for me. cuz the curve on the breaker bar is meant for bigger tires, only a small piece of it grabs these 8" tires, and then the tire slips and never seems to come off the bead. sooo.... I slipped a piece of 2" wide heavy flat iron under the breaker bar and up tight against the bead.I pushed down on the breaker bar, and it was just enough to break the stubborn bead. also, when breaking bead squirt lotsa soap or WD40, or penetrating fluid on the bead. when putting new tire on, clean the bead well with a wire brush, and use lotsa soapy water to help prevent tearing. also will help you get the tire to seat on (seating new tire was second hardest part, next to breaking the bead).
