rims and tire help

[alex90]

the more traction surface you have the more earth you have to move with a dinky blaster motor.

you dont want tires that wide holy crap, i would never recommend going more than 11in wide

Thanks for the info, I can't give you another point, I have to spread the rep love first!!

Thanks again!

i had 12" wide rear tire, i liked it, talk about some grip. but what type of riding are you doing?

 

[alex90]

12 in would be great in a strait line and if you had something more than a ~18hp blaster, or on a 4x4. 99%of the tires on the race 450s are only 10in wide. and 11in wide if its a 20in diameter. too much of one thing takes away from another.. aka too much traction = less power

i cant even think of a 12in wide sport tire being made by the big 3 (maxxis ITP Kenda)

ya i did have them on a higer horsepower quad. but i like them for my type of riding.
and it wasn't a "sport" tire
it was a trail tire, but i can not remember the name of them, they were on the quad when i got it.

I do a lot of trail riding. Right now though, I just tear it up in the field doing whatever I can do in the snow.
I want a tire that can put up with anything, and that will last me quite a while.
