hole shot tire sizes???

[DrityButt]

I just bought a 05 honda 300ex (bone stock) and I want to upgrade the stock tire (all 4) with hole shot tire but I dont know what exact size im going to need.. the stock size is (22x7-10)front and (22x10-9) rear. Any help you guys can give will be helpfull!!!

what type of riding. trails or track?

trails you will want big tires, track you will want small tires.

[DrityButt]

mostly soft trails.. little mud and sand....

I've been looking on the ITP tires website but there is no hole shot size's exact to my stock tire size.. I just want to bolt on new agressive looking hole shot tires but im getting confused with the size i need to get (front and rear) im planing on staying with the stock rims for now.. like i said no extreme riding conditions mostly soft trails with some mud and sand mixted in....

if anyone has bolted these tires on the stock rims what sizes and model did you use??? Thanks......

the stock is 22x10x9? then a 20x11x9 or 22x11x9 will go on the stock rim.the 11 is the width,I hope this helped.:)

[DrityButt]

thanks that helped alot but what about the front tires what size will work???

Im going to probably use the ITP hole shot XCT 22x11x9 in the rear.

I was told if i go with the 20x11x9's i might have to mess with the gear ratio and have to possably do a gear swap... im not sure if thats true but it sounds belivable to me...HELP!!!

itp's standard and XC 20's are closer to 21" tall, if I were you I would get those

for the front the 22/7/10s XC are a good all around tire but the 22" GNCC seem to be a good front as well

[DrityButt]

so you thank 22x7x10's front and 20x11x9's rear? am i correct? thanks !!!!!

[DrityButt]

ok what if I decide to run custom wheels and tire such as...

10 inch c-wheels with 22x7x10 front and 20x11x10 in the rear would i have to play with the sprocket sizes and if so what is the best sizes to go with.....??

sorry all the dumb questions but im new to the quad world and loving it !!!

Run a 22" or 23" up front and 20" or 21" im the rear. 22's are really big and you cant really bust them loose. I run 22 or 23 front GNCC's and 20 rear HD's for cross country racing. You shouldn't have to mess with the gearing unless you get into tight trails, then you might want to gear it down to make more low end. I will never get rid of my HD's, they are the best xc tire I have used.

[DrityButt]

Thanks for the help !!!!

[bansheexcracer2]

no problem, thats what we are here for.

xcr's holeshots work very good.

[DrityButt]

Ok...Now that I know what size hole shot tires im going to use next what is the right tire pressure that I should use when ridding on my light trails ??? (little sand/little mud)

Remember im a Florida boy so im not ridding in extreme conditions and it is usually about mid to high 70's when im ridding this time of year... Im trying to learn all i can about the ATV sport so dont mind the doumb questions from time to time..Im used to 3200 lb mustangs not a 400 lb ATV...;-)

[procircuit406ex]

A 21 or 22 in the front,20 in the rear.Personally id run XC's in holeshots but if i was gonna get anything else,it would be maxxis or kenda.Its all up to you though.
