While this might seem like a strange question, I was wondering if you guys can think of any tire brands that you know for a fact run small. I have an 86 TRX 250 and run 25×12.5×9 Bearclaws on the back with 21x7x10 Kenda Front Max on the front, and want to get something taller for the front for the sake of ground clearance. I have a set of 12" rims and was thinking about grabbing something for the front that fits this size of rim.
It seems like most tires nowadays (at least the more popular sizes) seem to be 25"+, however I don’t think I can fit any bigger than a 23" tall tire under the front of my bike without using spacers. 25" tall tires also seem to be cheaper here in Canada than their smaller sizes. Because of this I was wondering if anybody could think of any brands that run small (ie a 25x8x12 tire that measures closer to 23"/24" tall when mounted on the bike). I recall reading that Kenda used to run small (same with Maxxis? I think), however I don’t know if this is still the case or not. I’m open to whatever type of tread, but if i could pick it wouldn’t be too aggressive since these tires won’t be pawing at all.
I wanna get new tires for my rancher 420 it’s 4×4 and Is a manual with a straight axle in the rear I wanna go 27 but I wanna know if I am better with a meatier 26. I know it I get the 27 I’ll loose my top end but I would like to have the ITP mega mayhems but I’m not sure it will turn over in thick mud. I’m trying to stay away from gear reduction as much as possible
Hello all, this is my first post here and I searched for the answer before posting, so don’t flame me too bad if this has been covered. I have a new 2015 Foreman Rubicon DCT. I want some very aggressive mud tires in stock size or plus 1". I have a set of dealer take off steel stock wheels to mount some mudders on so that I can change back to the stockers for normal use. My reason for wanting mud tires is getting to my deer camp in Michigan’s upper peninsula. We go through some very serious mud to get in there. I am looking at Kenda Executioners, Maxxis Mudzillas, Maxxis Zillas, and ITP Mudlite XLs. Any suggestions? I want to stay stock size or 26" and keep the weight reasonable.
