i'm wondering about radials (auto) for the rear of my 400, i found radials for the front, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp?startIndex=0&width=145%2F&ratio=0&diameter=10&search=true&pagelen=20&pagenum=1&pagemark=1&do=Search , what sizes would go on the rear? and would i have to get different wheels for the rear?,,,the reason i'm wanting radials is cause i ride ALOT of gravel and back roads, and some pavement between farms and hunting,,,thanks

I dont think they make fat enough tires for the rear, Why do you want radials on the rear, the are pretty much useless back there... If you was meaning the stock tires(ohtsu radials) look in the back of a couple of dirtwheels they have advertisements, if I see it again I will post the web-site...But you do not want car radials in the rear, trust me and I think ne one else will agree here...

i'm just tinkering with the idea, i already have 2 complete sets of wheels and tires (stock radials and some XC's), i would only use them when i was riding mostly pavement and hard packed gravel,,,i'm not gonna take them on the MX track, hehehe,,,later

I still dont see them being an effective product for the rear... You still need with and I dont know a rim that skinny that will fit on the rear.. As the old saying goes," your **** outta luck" sorry dude...

you could run some hard compound rear tt tires... they would last longer than knobies
