Looking at replacing Tires and wheels
I'm considering moving up to a 25X8-12 front and 25X10-12
ITP MUD LITES
ITP HOLESHOTS ATR
Greenball Dirt Devils

I'm looking at replacing wheels with Lightweight aluminum wheels to help on wieght .
Wolverine has 424 kit, HMF Pipe, and NOS Airbox modification.
I do mostly desert trail riding, sandy washes, and some water and MUD.

Any other suggestions for tires or any input on my list?
Will I notice much power loss with this size tires?
Thanks

 

I have 25" SurTraks, check out my picture, with the reinforcing ring aluminum rims, they look pretty nice,get great traction, and ride real good. They are wider than stock, but not a lot taller, only about 24", I got them right after my engine rebuild, and they don't seem to be a problem, with your pipe and air box mods, you should be fine, and the Warn 424 will give you a lot more power to the back wheels. I have heard the Titan 489 and 489xt are pretty good too.

 

I would say the mudlights and dirt devils along with the Kenda Bear Claws are a good choice for general trail riding. If your wanting a sportier ride then go with the ITP ATR's, or go with the Maxxis Big horns or All Tracks. These two tires are the two top choices for GNCC utility racers. I would also look into the same tires as what is coming stock on the 06 wolverine as they are a radial tire and will give a little better traction and a more comfortable ride.

 

It seems like the total weight of the Dirt Devils will be 15.2 pounds more than the Mud Lites. How much difference will 15 lbs make in moving these tires. I could get the Dirt Devil at a good price $165.00 for the set of 4, but I would want to steal too much power.

I'm also trying to find a dealer who carries Super Grip tires and wheels, I've read some good things about them but I can only find them on sale on Ebay. Anyone with experience with these?

 

Not the Dirt Devils they are very heavy. In my unscientific test a 22x8 Devil felt heavier than a 25x8 Mud Lite on the same kind of rims. I have used Mud Lites and they are a great tire--my choice (or the radial version)for replacement on my King Quad some day.

 

I'd go with the ATR's just because of the weight. Coming from the stock 23" tire, I would be wary about putting a heavier 25" tire on it.
