20x11x10 VS. 20x11x9

[Burt Reynolds]

Just wandering the better rim and tire size is for trails and why?

[dirtydownunder]

more tyre (bigger profile ) will create a bigger footprint in the dirt and grip alot harder. but has more side wall, so when in turns/slides, it could bite and throw you.

 

less tyres (lower profile) has less footprint but you can throw the bike around more as there is less side wall to flex.

 

more tyre (20-11-9) is better for sand/dunes

less tyre (20-11-10)is better for dirt/trails

You need to stick with a 9" rim. There are far more tire options for a 9" rim than a 10" rim. You're not going to notice any difference in performance between the two.

Look around, far greater choices in 9' than 10"

I figured 9s would have better protection from rocks,I wanted to try ohtsu's but i ended up ordering standard rzr's The rzr's dont hook as well as some tires but they last me for freaking ever

Should've ordered the Ohtsu. They are a hard hooking tire.

I really wanted to try them based on your opinion that ive seen on here,but im about broke and rmatv had free shipping. The ohstus cost about the same,but i couldnt find free shipping. Im just trying to get ready to play ride this season,lol
