Default FAST TREKKERS ???

If you get the ITP 8' wheels the front and back will not look the same you have to use douglas to make the front and back match. On your fast treakers look at the seral # see if it starts with 22 and made in the USA they were mostley blems. The late fast trekkers are made in Mexico. The last shippment I got in we junked 25 out of 30 tires. My dist. in IN. got stuck with a train car full of bad tires these are the rears 20x10x9 and my other dist in LA. quit selling them due to this type of problem. ITP I think has the molds now.

Stroked280 - They have only been on for about two months. They have seen some pretty heavy use in that time and show no visible wear.

By changing the diameter of the tire (going from a 21" to a 20") you change the overall gear ratio of the drive train. I noticed a reduction in low end power but a slight increase in top end speed. This can be compensated for by changing the number of teeth in the front or rear sprocket. Usually this is done by reducing the number of teeth in the front drive sprocket (for more low end power). I have had some difficulty finding a lower tooth front sprocket for the blaster. I am installing a Toomey B1 kit next week, so this should more than make up the difference the tires made.

got a set on my warrior on douglass .190 and love them. they are a year old and still look new. on the rims wait and get the .190, you'll be glad you did in the long run. another thing about the trekkers, if you run in mud or snow you can swap sides and run them backwards and they hook up a lot better in snow and mud.

Short of the sprocket change or exhaust, I am not sure you can without engine work. You need to either change the overall gearing or increase the low end engine power band. The front sprockets were around $25 for the good stuff and the install looked like it wouldn't be that difficult. This website shows you how tire diameter effects overall gearing and what you need to get to compensate.

i dont think you will notice much if any of a difference with just a 1 inch change in tire diamater. we ran 20 inch razr's on my sons blaster and could tell no difference in performance. if you do want to change front sprockets go to rocky mountain atv and you can get a 12, 13 or 14 tooth front sprocket for $ 6.99. we ran these inexpensive sprockets and had no trouble with them at all.
