one place another place

I got some holeshots for my quad and they are great. 20x10x9 = 20in overall diameter, 10in wide, 9in diameter rim.

You can use anything from 18-22" tall tires, but for trail riding the 20 or 22 inchers will be best. Most are 10-12 inches wide, and these should all work fine on the stock rims. The only number you can't change is the 9" rim size if you are using stock rims.

My recommendation is a Maxxis Razr2, size 20/11/9. They are not cheap but they will last a LONG time and give you greatly improved traction and performance. They are one of the most dramatic improvements I have made, especially if you ride in soft, wet or muddy conditions.

RR1
