I have a fairly new Banshee and the quad hauls heiny but it spins every where,Im starting to feel like starsky and hutch,any way the banshee comes w I believe 21/7/10s tires do I have to stick with this tire wheel choice or can I go per say 22/11/10's for more choices.Will this throw of gearing handling or hang up on any of the chassis or axles? also will I have to change the rim size or can I mount if I can can i mount it on the stock rims made for the OEM tire size?I would apreciate every 1s replies and maybe Ill see some of you guys and gals roosting it up on the trail lol

As long as you're keeping the original diameter of the rim, there's no prob. stock shee tires are 20/10/9 (not sure about the 10 though). I have 22/11/9 Bearclaws, with stock gearing, and the only problem I have is that the front wheels are smaller, and it doesn't look cool. hu.

I had bearclaws on my old banshee and they really hooked up.

Bearclaws grip?? Was your shee running on diesel to make these things grip?
I am right now playing with the pressure inside, because like there are, they don't hook up very well (on hard pack, from standing still, and "drag racing" I spin the tires all the way up to 4th...hu)
Maybe it was just a pressure thing...right now they must have very little air inside....but at least, they're "square" and 20.5" dia. instead of the previous 22.5" (yeap, 2" just by taking air out!) I just hope they will stay on the rim...hehe

I had the same problem.Someone told me to use Turf Tamers.They were the worst tire I have ever seen.Didn't grip on trails and wore out quick.Now I have 22x11x9 Holeshots XCT's and it goes everwhere I ask it to.It makes the bottom end a little sluggish though(not enough to worry about) so I'm gonna add a 13 tooth front sprocket.
