Default Tires....

Was wondering what tire size would be best for me...Still got the stock tires on my 02 warrior. Should i go bigger on the front and back or just the back?Looking for a little more low end. I gotta get rid of these stockers. Also, i hear about people "flipping" their tires. How does that affect the handling? I would think it would make it more unstable especially on the front. Any benefits in doing this? Thanks for the help..

If you mount your rear tires in side out, then you'll have much more width on the rear. This INCREASES your stability, although, if you ride on tight trails, you have to be more aware the first few times. As for the front, I never did try to flip them on the Warrior, I imagine it'll work, just make sure your valve stems clear everything. Bigger tires=less acceleration, more top speed. Smaller tires=more acceleration, less top speed. I put 22" rears on my Rappy (20" is stock) to give it less pull down low cuz it was always clawing at the sky. You should just regear it. Stick with the same size, just upgrade the tire. If you go smaller, which will give you more low end pull, your going to lose ground clearance. If you do go to a lower gear, you'll be shifting that 6 speed a lot more.
