BSHEE400 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 i haven't tried the blue or black labels, but the reds are way stronger than stockers and i don't think they're much if any heavier than stockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have had great luck with Reds. I bent the shit out of some ITPs, but the Red labels have held up great for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast shee Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Can't go wrong with the red labels. Been racing with them for 15 years. Blus label is for trail riding and red for more extreme riding like mx ( recommend rolled bead for ft ). 8 " for raer is ideal but bead lock not required if using rolled bead. Have flattened many blue label front fims in the past ove rtable tops etc. Sucks when you don't finish due to a flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawa110 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 can i get douglas red labels with a rolled lip? I am considering changing rim size to a 10 inch, will this reduce tire roll? IS ther a advantage to 10inch? I also am going to get some maxxis all traks i am unsure to go with a 20 inch or a 22 inch. Will 22 inch bog me down? If i get 10 inch rims ill have a little less side wall and less tire roll. I was also considering getting the rims offset to make the shee jsut a little wider. for the front im still unsure on tire type, i know i want red labels up front, do i change rim size in front if i change back? Any suggestions for me? douglas red labels either 9x9(i think thats stock) or 10x9 pro-cons pro-cons of changing rim size in front 22" or 20" in rear pro and cons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have blue labels on the fron of mine and have beaten th episs out of em and they have bent up. Id try red, but next Im goin with black itp baja bead lock wannabe`s. I have hypers on rear. the itp baja looks tough. std itp rims Ive had were weak too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 allright ive decided on 10 in all the way around 5 wide in front and 8 wide in back. i went to chapparal motosports and they have rims right ther so i could just pick them up and check em all aout. the itp baja(fake beadlock) is what i settled for. Good price and they were beefer then the douglas red labels. Not that much heavier. They have rows and rows of tires. I still like the maxxis all trak for the rear. Im undecided on front.
