I think that is a little small for the trails. Send Pappy a PM and see what his boy has on his;)

19 x6 x 10 fronts holeshot mxr's

18 x 9 x 8 rears turf tamers, however we really like the rear tires that are made by maxxis, they are stock units on the eton 90 and work great

I agree that it might be pretty small for a trx90. I'm running those tire sizes on my daughter's skyhawk 50. She doesn't have any problems when we are out trail riding.

will 20s work? or are they to tall? is there any other brands that offer the 19x 6x 10 also will a 9" or 8" tire/rim work or will that be to bouncy?

thanks

The 16's are way to small and the 20's are way to big. The 18's are the way to go. We run the 19' front and 18' rear combo also. Pretty much is what every1 is useing. Snowhogs are also very good rear tires.They are very simular to the holeshots we run on the front. The turf tamers or the hogs are the best 2 tires I feel. And they are run by ALOT of teams!

Yep 18's are the way to go especially if you'r gonna trail ride it too.

There you go. I tried to post a picture of our quad to show you. I couldn't figure out how to do it. The Tires Pappy talked about are also very good tires. They really help Pappy's son Cody sling the mud!

PS. BigDaddy, Are those Alpinstars boots on your little man? My son wears Fox boots. I've been thinking about getting him a set of Alpinestars. They look so light. Are they?

We are running Holeshots
19x6x10 Front
18x10x8 Rear

They seem to wok great. The holeshots really dig up the ground for a Mini with really deep lugs.
