with 18s it will be incredibly slow. stock tires are 22s and since you cant regear with shaft drive, smaller tires will gear it down ALOT. it wont go 40 mph. id say get some 21s.

Knarly's. I wouldnt go anything under 21's either because you will top out in corners:ermm: Go with 21's or 22's that are more square than stock, even aftermarket 22's will help with handleing.

Tell us how you do in the race!

I put my brothers tires on my 250 one time (20's) and let me just say that you can say bye to 1st and second gear. You would have to do a lot of shifting. Although it would handle a little better, I would just keep 21's or 22's.

It should make it better. See if you can borrow somebody's tires off their quad and put them on yours, it is all personal preference.
