25 " tires

[batoutofshell]

I got 23-1-10 xct holeshots on the front was thinking of putting 25" kenda vipers on the rear do you think it will look stupid or? my gearing is 14/42 but am switching the to 13/ 41. I would appreciate all opinions.

u might have to gear down even lower to compensate for such big rubbers out back. do a search for speed caculators. try n find a gearing with ur size tires to match a stock gearings speed with a set of 20's or even 22's maybe it could give u an idea of how it'll go. nebody else have ne feedback

Where do you live, I may have a cheapened set of rockets for you, and could always use another rider on the trips to demotte.

I am in Portage 219-677-3038 cell I am wondering where you ride in Demotte is there a legal place to ride there. Badlands is 2 hours for me, you must be in chesterton by your number prefix. Looking to ride sunday but my clutch side screwsheads are stripped and I don't want to put them back in, fixed what needed to be fixed in there and got stainless allens on the way from e-bay. Maybe I will go to sears hardware and get some fill ins till my new ones get here. I am dying to ride this will be the first sunday in 3 years without my kids when I have them I have to stay close and can't get on it like I want to. Tim

i wouldnt run 25" tires on my banshee. what are you looking to gain by doing it? about the only thing youll gain in ground clearance. also with putting that kind of load on it id look for you to snap chains a lot easier. i saw a guy running big tires like that one time and on the launch he snapped his chain. this was in soft loose dirt no less...

Thanks i appreciate the info. I guess i will look for a cheap set of 22's the 18's are just too small for me.

[locogato11283]

i think 22's will be fine. try some kenda knarlys...

Nope not chesterton, I live in New Chicago, its right by the "bloody cock" as we call it. Big ass red rooster in front of the restaurant. The house address is a hobart address the phone prefix is a lake station prefix.

 

Somebody owns the land from IL that we ride on, no one really knows for sure. We'll have to hookup as the people have a youngin and we can pawn them off on his wife to go putt around in while the rest of us go blazing some trails.

ok I know where your at.I thought they had pretty good fish on fridays.I was riding the Nipsco dunes in Michigan shitty across from the prison till D&R showed up and took my plate number, no ticket just told me don't come back.Then I tried the industrial park on 249 & 94 behind the family express and the Portage cops showed up I knew them and they told me it wasn't a very good idea I had my kids so they were cool about it. A buddy told me of a place Lake Station but couldn't find it. But I don't want to go there with my shee or blaster too darn load they would know I was there for sure, guess Ill post see if anyone else in the area wants to go. Late notice but sometimes that is the way it is with me.Have a good time and maybe we can hookup another time to ride ( tear up) the dirt. Tim
