Help I need a good set of polished alum wheels and tires that would work well in Iowa mainly trail riding and gravel road riding. Can you suggest what would be the best. Thanks for your help

For the wheels I would go with Douglas Red Labels and for the tires I would go with Holeshots or Bandits. Holeshots have more grip on loose surface, but they don't last very long. Bandits are an excellent all around tire and they last along time. Go to www.Blastercentral.com for more info. THey tested both. For myself I am soon going to get the new 22 inch Bandits on 10 inch Douglas Red Label wheels that are +1 off-set.

I am currently running the 22" Bandits on 10" red labels as BlueBlaster mentioned. They are great in all conditions, but they have so much traction that powersliding the bike is very very hard on regualer packed ground. In mud/leaves/snow etc. you can slide, but you will have hard time everywhere else. I really miss being able to do the full on powerslide that the Sur-Traks allowed.

GO with 20-11-8 Shredders on Red Label rims.
