will this work?

looks like the 21" balloons which look huge on the blasty


20's like hudacks look really good IMO and are a little better for ground clearance than the little ones i run

 

[caseywoods5]

i have 20s on it right now and i know 18s will make it slower. i have just always liked 18s on back and 20s, 21s, or 22s on front.

 

[brandoz28]

those look like 21" stock balloons to me

 

[caseywoods5]

my current rear tires are 20x11-8 slashers but are almost bald and they were over inflated in the sig pic. now i run them on like 2-3 pounds of air.

 

[brandoz28]

ahhhh gotcha



one thing i'll say with the 18's, lose the skid plate or you'll be draggin it through everything lol

 

[caseywoods5]

do 18s really make it sit that low? like how much ground clearance are we talking in the rear?

 

[brandoz28]

i only had a couple inches to the skid if it was on


i just left it off, the sprocket helps get you out of the ruts lmfao

 

[myusername]

if you take 2" off the total height of the tire, you loose 1" top and bottom, so you loose 1" of ground clearance

lmao i guess that's one way to look at itI:I

 

[caseywoods5]

alright i did the math starting from the original balloons to 18s and i would go from 4.7 inches stock ground clearance to 3.2 inches with 18s or 4.2 inches with 20s.

thats funny i love bigger rear tires my tires were 18-10.5-8on the back and 20-6-10 on the front now im moving up to 24-13-10 on the back and 25-9-10 on the front bigger tires are way better i get way better grip. takes the corners way easier and does almost a perfect circle now when i do a donut plus you get a few more inches of ground clearane..

dude with those size rear tires you will have 6.2 inches of ground clearance in the rear.

your right about the grip and everything. but i'd have to say wrong about the taking corners easier. with that much sidewall, your gonna have a ton of flex in the tires. thats why people get rid of the stock balloons. sorry, not trying to be an ass. you'd just have to have tons of pressure in those tires to get them to handle decently in the turns. plus your that much higher off the ground, so your cg is that much higher

 

[hudack]

holy big rear tires 24 inch tires on a blasty are you ceral

no joke, i feel way better going from 22's all around to 18's on the back and 20's on the front

that is why i like 18s, there isn't much sidewall so you can take corners easily and the way i ride i am always taking corners fast.

 

[hudack]

i think if your doing mx and not to much trail riding then 18s are great but if you do all trail riding then you cant beat 20s

 

[89blasterbb40z]

i guess that makes sense but apparntly not in my case i dunno im pretty guarenteed that i take the corners better it feels and looks like it... i dunno could just be trippin.. yeah 6 inches thats not much lol i dont have a skid place and i live in edmonton theres lots of rocks in the country big ones and i dont wanna hit one of them goin 100 kph

 

[caseywoods5]

i couldn't agree more except i am debating on having 20s on the front or 21s.

well i ride on track and trail and the trail only has a few big rocks that i have already made a way around.
