I want to get new rims for my quad and I am not sure if I should get ITP .190 rims or Douglas .190 rims. Thank you for your help and suggestions!

 

The Douglas' on the Predator seem to hold up, and i've bent both sets of ITP wheels I have. Rolled edge looks better in opinion.

 

I have douglas .190 with ITP Mudlites and they seem to be working great. My stock rims were bent to high heaven.

 

I had itp .190 on a past scrambler and they bent really easily. now the douglas rims on my pred have taken a tremendous beating and only show a few scratches. I think if you want heavy duty, get a .190 with a reinforeced rim or a rolled bead.

 

usmc are u talkin about the blackwater tires? and what size do u got on your quad??

 

o no wait i see those tires but what do you guys think of the blackwater tires??

 

No, I am talking about hte new IPT mud lites. Similar to blackwaters, but had better reviews as awesome mud tires and great trail tires, etc. I ordered them from Rocky Mountain as a set ont he douglas rims.

The blackwaters had good reviews, but they are considered a solid mud tire with limited applications elsewhere (dont all you people using blackwaters 'elsewhere' start bantering, it is just and observation).

I purchased the stock sizes for several reasons;

1. I now have a complete set of spares that can be swaped in the event of tire failure
2. Steering/ suspension geometry stays the same
3. I didn't want to have to muck with the 4WD

 

so what size did u put on?? and can u still do donuts or will the tires grip to much?

 

Front Tire 23 x 8-10 (Stock is 23 x 7-10)
Rear Tire 22 x 11-10


Anyways,


The tires are stiffer, so they should actually be easier to do donuts with. Either way, my quad has the power to do them without a problem.

Your question should not be 'Can I spin in circles easily?', but rather 'Will I get stuck?'

 

thanks for the help and i think i might be getting the mud lites now because you guys say all good things about them.
