My best addition to my Warrior has been different rear tires. I bought some Pure Sport Bandits 22x10x9. Man these tires give you so much grip my Warrior actually accelerates much faster. I also flipped the rims around so I have about 1 inch more on each side and that really helps in turns. I suggest this addition to everyone with a Warrior.

Do the bandits bite too much in the turns or do they slide out like Razors or Holeshots do?

They grip really well in turns and don't really slide all that well. But man they really improve the tractability of the Warrior.

Out of all my mods I made,the tires were the best.Have ITP holeshots, 20x11x10 in the rear and 21x7x10 in the front,all on douglas wheels that have less back spacing,that combined with the tires make it much wider and handles SO much better!

You can turn the front rims around also.All you have to do is take the tire off and cut off the valve stem.Then you pull a new one threw the hole backwards.Flip the rim over drill a new hole and put in a new stem. reinstall the tire and you have another inch on the front.

I have the Pure Sports Realters on my warrior and they work miricles. They r 2 inches wider than the stock wheels r. They r great in mud and snow, work well in sand too. I also flipped my front tires around and man it handles wonderfully. Unfortunatly somebody Tboned me and totalled the frame, oh well time to get a Raptor.

I'm trying to help my buddy who has a Warrior. He just bought Realtors and was planning on mounting them on the Stock rims.
Did you have you Realtors on the Stock rims?
What is the Width of the stock rim 8" or 9"?
