Mx Set Ups

[Honda Guy]

Ok whats the best front tires back tires and wheels for MX?
Heres what I was thinking

FRONT TIRES- MX RADIAL or possibably 19in holeshot MX
BACK TIRES- TURF TAMERS(MABE GROVED) OR possabably 18in hole shot mx
WHEELS- BEADLOCKS but I dont know what is the best one and I really dont want to pay that much money for a wheel how much are and how good are champion douglas itp or anyothers.

ALSO WHAT WIDTH TURF TAMER 11 OR 9.5 AND WHY?
Im just looking for yalls opinons thanx.

Im running 19" holeshot MX on the front with douglas billet center rims, no beadlock. and 18" holeshot MX rears on itp beadlocks. i heard from somewhere that beadlocks arent as important on the front as they are on the rear

[Adam496]

i would go with the grooved radials in the front w/ the turf tamers (i would get them groved, they clean out better) in the rear
for the rims u can get hiper but there like 200 each if ur on a buget u can go with a .190 rim with racing rings
i would go with the 11 width cause i think the get more traction

i am gonna run a 20x6x10 holeshot mx in the front, 18x11x8 turf tamers on champion bead locks... i really like the champion bead locks they make ur quad look nice and the turfs really hook up great!!!

[Honda Guy]

Im not planing on getting front bead locks. The carbon fiber rims are ugly I think whats the cheapest any of you have seen ITP CHAMPION AND DOUGLAS beadlocks and where?

[Tommy 17]

134$ a rim at jl for champ beadlocks with ur choice of ring color... the kit for 2 rimz and 2 turf tamer mounted its 385$ to ur door...

Dosent champ use douglas .190 rims? Also can you get aluminum rings? I sal champs for like $110 each also are they just as strong at douglas ultimate beadlocks? the are $125 from rockymoutain

[mrusk]

you want 19in Holeshot mx in the fronts and in the rear you want 18x9.5x8 turf tamers. This is the best setup. The front radials absoulutely suck on everything except hardpack.

I cant belive how many people run champion beadlocks i thought they were kinnda a off brand the reason I looked into them was because of Nac's so my new question is what is stronget douglas untimate beadlocks or champion beadlocks I like how the douglas rings arnt as big.

[crookedeyemoto-x]

I run grooved radials up front, and 18/9.5/8 turf tamers out back and love this set up.All of which is on .190 rims.

u can get a champion bead lock with or with out inner rings... mine have the inner ring on them(its very thick i don't think u can bend these rimz)... they are 105 or so i think without the rimz but i think u should pay the money for them and buy the rings just to be safe... they are made form douglas .190 red lable rimz...

I run the 11 inch wide turf tamers on the rear with champion beadlocks. And I run the holeshot mx 19" in the front on douglas red labels.

I only run the radials on hardpacked because they suck in the mud.

[trx400ex]

i run the same tires and groove that tim farr has up front, in the rear i use douglas beadlocks with 18 by 9.5 tamers, i didnt groove the tamers yet , and i dont think i will

[Honda Guy]

TRX400EX do you like your douglas beadlocks are they just as strong as anyone eles?

I'd go with the 11 inch rear tires,,,I've seen too many 9.5 tamers come off of beadlock rims when the hammer was down....seem to skinny to stay on the rim under a hard load in a turn,,much harder to bust the bead on the 11 inch tires. All the rims listed are good,,get what you can afford..

I have the Douglas Ultimate beadlocks, they dont have an inner ring, but they are reinforced with a rolled lip. They are made with excellent quality, I am looking into carbon fiber beadlocks though.
