What tires and wheels to go with?

[GSXKID]

I dont know what tires or what size wheels to get. I ride mostly like woods and some sand pits. What would be some good tires? And what size wheels should I get too. I dont know if this is the right place to post this question either. Thanks for any help

If your riding woods try to get 22in rears and get the smallest rim you can for the tires. I say this bc it saves you from bent rins if you catch a tree. Which you will do eventually if your riding fast. Thats saying you havent already =) As for the fronts 21's will do fine.

Thanks for the info and yes my rim already has a couple bends in it. LOL TTT

I have good luck with my kenda klaws front and rear. I too ride mostly trails and some sand in the creek beds.

I agree with East Coast, need to protect those wheels. Good luck with that.......

21" fronts and 20" rears, the same as stock. Check my signature picture and you'll see the maxxis razrs on baja rims on the honda. This is a monster in the woods and the tires are great. Speed does kill rims though, I bent one of the bajas before and they're solid.

I run GNCC and i run 22s in the front, and mostly 20s in the rear,, on some coarses though, iwill run 22s in the rears, for the added ground clearnce

 

i run Razrs,, and found them very good

As far as the rear tire size, to me it depends on what kind of terrain you're in, as in what would be hitting your skid plate with 20" tires. Rocks tend to do a lot of damage, so in that case maybe 22s, but other than that, just get 20s. Big tires suck horsepower, and they don't bite as well as smaller tires. Get 9" rims though, and 21" tires up front.

Im with helldriver ride woods trail an i like the 22 front 20 rear

If you run 22" in the rear you'll probably need to get some new sprockets, or at least a 13t front sprocket to compensate or you will lose all your bottom end. I like 22" on the front but you get way more sidewall flex if you corner real aggressive, but it depends on where you ride.
