I need new rear tires for my Wolverine. I want to stay with the stock rims cause Im on a budget. What are the best tires for the Wolverine that will fit the stock rims?

Thanks

 

Im looking at Titan 489xt's but I have one question do they weigh alot more than stock. If they are the same size as stock will there be a drop in performance?

Thanks

 

i know alot of ppl put the 489s on there wolverine

 

Allynohairs, he said WOLVERINE, not Warrior, same motor, different drive train, no 4x4 would work with that tire set up !!!!!
Tman, the only thing to watch for when replacing only the front or back is tire size, you have to make sure the tires match the front very closely, or you could end up with drivetrain binding from the different tire sizes,as it would make the front and back gear ratios slightly different. Yes, the 489 xt is a 6 ply, and heavier, but will be almost bullet proof on the trail, compared to the stock 2 ply Dunlops. To be honest, your best bet is to replace all 4 tires so later you can replace the backs and know you are matching the fronts, and quit doing donuts and burnouts with the front end disconnected, your back tires will last longer !!!! ( a bad side effect of the Warn 424, but I'm afraid we are all guilty of it !! )

 

What if I put 22 inch Maxxis Razr's all around and got new rims. How would that effect my performance or would it not be recomended. I really dont ride mud that often.

 

Do a search for that, I think a forum user by the name of airwolf did just that, used 10" rims and spacers or something, and put 22" racing tires all around. You would loose a little top end, but the throttle response and handling would be noticeably better, just cost you a little ground clearance and speed.

 

How much speed will I lose?

 

this post is probaly to late but put on 489's.. 24 inch.. u can use stock rims they will be a lil wider but u wont lose any performance i did it on my 02 wolverine
