christ6 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 just put a nice rip in my rear tire so im buying new tires, just looking for a few opinions. Right now im running stock tires and rims. I ride alot of gravel (old train tracks around my house get me anywhere, very rough ride with lots of moguls though) some road use as well. But when im not getting from place to place i ride in all kinds of conditions, hard pack dirt i would say and there is also a few sand pits around. i ride trails occasionally but mostly i like to do lots of jumping and am considering getting into riding out on some of the local mx courses. Just wondering what tires u guys think i should run and what size would be best for my stock rims, or if you think i should splurge some extra money if i can afford it and get tires/wheels, im not looking for something thats going to wear out on me fast but im leaning more towards performance than durability i would this be a time to put new front/rear sprockets and a new chain as well if so what would be the best Quote
differentstrokes Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 I'd suggest maxxis razr's in the stock size for a good all around tire, they wear pretty good and have enough bite for a track if you decide to go that route. You'd probably want 18" rears for mx which isn't to good for trails. The 20" rears are the best IMO for several types of riding. As far as sprockets, I'd run steel sprockets and a gold chain. Rocky Mountain ATV has pretty good deals on their primary drive brand and I've heard good things about them so you can't go wrong with them. Quote
christ6 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) thanks for the opinion razr's or razr2's should i go a size wider in the back tires or will that bring down my performance to much? as for the sprockets how many tooth? also what size chain will i need i need to get a clymers manual Edited July 30, 2006 by christ6 Quote
christ6 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) i found a place close to me selling razr's with 10" Itp c series wheels demensions Front- 21x7x10 Rear- 20x11x10 ive decided to get the razrs for sure should i go 9" or 10" wheels? also should i go 4 or 6 ply on the tires not much dif in price, anyone have any idea how much weight dif there would be?

differentstrokes Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 A 10" rim will give a rougher ride, I'd stick with the 9" if you ride alot of trails. 4 ply hold up pretty good unless you ride in rocky areas, I've busted 2 in the last few months on rocks. Quote
