pics or opinions on 22" tires

[trx400exxracer]

I want to get some new tires I am not into a hurry so I would like to see some pics of 22 size rear tires I am probably going to get size 20 but want to see some 22 first

[trx400exxracer]

come on people

[DUNEZRUNNER]

I bought the Holeshot XCT 22" rears for my bike. I like them alot. I got them because where I go riding I need the extra ground clearance because of rocks and bushes. I had them on my 400ex and now on my yfz 450. They hold up awesome and that little lip by the bead of the tire protects the rim really well. I have a couple hundred miles on them and they are showing very little wear as well. Hopefully this helps on your decision.

I ru 22's on my EX & thats all Im gonna run from now on clearance is much improved in the middle where you need it it wiil raise the rear end a little so it wiil change the handling just a touch ,when my fronts wear out I will get taller fronts to balance her out a bit & they will rub the front of the fender a tiny bit when you bottom it out nothing major or alarming though.

I took pics. of mine earlier today to show you but I wasnt able to send them something about too many bites!

How are they in mud? Not like 5 foot deep stuff, but you know what I mean.

But I have 22''s and wouldn't have it any other way. my swingarm skidplate still hits things now and then.

22's front and rear

[trx400exxracer]

here is a question I forgot to ask does it change the gearing
can you tell if th 20's perform better than the 22's or what

and thanks for the input guys

[DAVE14]

with my 22s stock gearing with no mods at that time was too much it stole a lot of my low end & the engine couldnt push the stock gearing flatout to a nice top speed so I got 13 tooth monster torque great on trails & in the woods but too slow now I run a 14 tooth stage 2 jet kit K&n filter usually no lid & no spark arrestor & its much improved I have torque & top speed (high comp. 440 ) on the way but just let the stock EX breathe a little bit & find the right sprocket for you & you should be happy with it.

[trx400exxracer]

do you think I should get a 13 and 12 tooth sprocket so I could have one for wide open tracks medium and really tight ones

[DAVE14]

Im not sure theres a 12 tooth front sprocket out there (never heard of one) buy you can get a 13 & a 39 or a 38 in the rear thats a lot of gear though if youre just running the 20's out back that motors gonna scream if speed is an issue but it should pull like a truck ! with those kind of gears & revs heat will be an issue Ide get air scoops larger oil tank & cooler.

[trx400exxracer]

I was just wondering what gearing I would need for the 22" tires I don't want it to go any faster do you know what size sprockets I should get

[knelson]

14 tooth front, stock rear and you will be impressed its perfect

I think 22" rear tires are homosexual.

I run 20" razzar 2 rears with no swing arm skid for cleerance issues.

I have ran a 16 front sprocket which was nice with my stock swing arm, kep thoes wheeles doun. but I swaped back to the 15 so I can still pull the front up with the new +1.25 swinger.

[DAVE14]

if you run arond in the sand all day I guess you might not need a skidplate but in the real world ,ruts logs & every other crap you can imagine I need a plate it also keeps the chain a little cleaner so its not coated in crap as quickly not to mention the rotor wouldnt like the log crossings either so the 22''s stay !

[DUNEZRUNNER]

Yeah for me 22" rears and then 23" fronts will be the only way I will go from now on. I ride alot of desert and rocky terrain. I HAVE to run a rear skid plate or my rear rotor would be trashed the first ride out. I didnt really notice any power problems when I had the 22's on my 400ex. I did use a 14 tooth rear sprocket though. The XCT's have great hookup and will be the only tire I buy from now on.

I just bought new fronts like a couple of weeks ago they are 22' But next time I will get 23" cuase I think I am going to get 22" rears

who has 22" front and rear

[trx400exxracer]

alright guys I think ya'll have convinced me I just don't know which ones to get

22-11-8 rear Kenda klaw xc mounted on 8 inch 190. douglas red labelwheels with chrome valve stems and pj tire sealant = $167.00

22-11-9 rear Maxxis razr 2's mounted on 9 inch 190. douglas red label wheels with chrome valve stems and pj tire sealant = $253.00

I know the kendas are cheaper but are the maxxis that much better than the kendas as far as wear and tear and performance in xc racing

I have some razzar 2's and I love them, they have held up verry excelent compared to my last tires. they wernt kenda's but they where holeshots and I ate threw them in a cupple months.

I would say spend the extra on the razzar 2's because they are more expenseve for a reason. also I dono how well thoes wheels will hold up for you. I havent had thoes spacific ones, but stock wheels are verry strong with that rolled edge that they have.

[trx400exxracer]

I am getting them reinforced and I am keeping my razr's on my stock rear wheels but yeah I am gettin them reinforced front and rear sets inside and out

[trx400exxracer]

anyone else have anything to say about the prices I posted

[xx3003xrdrxx]

Pics? Email me at t.sanborn@comcast.net. What size rim they fit?

[xx3003xrdrxx]

ill shoot you an email with close pics and rim size on thurs. night , ive got **** to do until then .

[Travis712]

Cool man. Just remember my email though, alright..heh.

[trx400exxracer]

I am not looking to get any used tires I am getting new ones thanks for the offer though

because I want the wheels and chrome valve stems and tire sealant and free mounting and shipping I also got to order some more stuff from rocky mountain

I wouldent think you would need tire sealent if they are mounted correctly,

Nice quad. For where I ride though, I need the clearence of 22"s.

hears some 22inch back tires on r raptor

[McG300ex]

i own xcrs and xcts i like the xcts the extra clearence is nice to have but if your getting 22s spend the money and get razor2s, my friend goes through alot with 20s i think the 22 would be even better
