A couple of months ago I picked up an 86 TRX 250 utility from a kid for a few hundred bucks off of Kijiji (the Canadian Craigslist lol). It was a little rough around the edges but ran and drove great. It needed a new starter and tire rod ends, however a quick look on eBay solved these problems. Up until now I’ve been doing minor mods (12 volt outlet, snorkel, currently fabbing up a winch mount) and just enjoying it.
Anyways, the bike came with a set of 25×12.5×9 Bearclaws with good tread on the back and a set of Kenda Front Max in 21x7x10 on the front that also had good tread but are well….tiny. Lol. I’m happy with the Bearclaws for the time being (although they do seem to run a bit short), but the front needs attention
What do you guys think I should look into for front tires? I want something that’s going to be a few inches taller but ideally the same width, maybe around 23×7. I ride a combination of hard packed trails and a bit more loose terrain, as well as a little bit of mud. I picked up a set of 90’s 12" Yamaha rims that have the proper offset so it could be either for a 10" or 12" rim. I was looking at maybe more of an all terrain tire (either Bearclaw or Mud Lite), but I’m open to anything really.
Thanks!
