I'm trying to find some 18" turf tamer tires but I the last 2 numbers of the rim size don't match so I don't know which tires sizes to get to fit my stock rims. That and on rockymountainatv.com they don't have 18" turf tamers but they have the carlisle turf tamers which the picture is the same on the turf tamers and I am woundering if they just did that as a short cut or they actually are the same? I looked on their web site and couldn't find anything on their turf tamers either. Same with the front tires, I don't get what tires I can go with to fit my stock rims but i would like some shorter tires like 21 or 20 inch fronts. So can anyone help me out?

for the front, any mx radial will fit..or holeshot mx fronts fit...

on the stock rears you cant run 18inch turfs, you need 8 inch rims for those..

if you running stock wheels, and want mx tires, your best bet is holsehot rear 18x9 and the 20 inch holeshot mx fronte, or grooved radials

are you sure I can't run the carlisle rear tamers with my stock rims? http://www.rockymountainatv.com/home.asp?sid=0001679166

I plan on using the mx front holeshots but I really liked the grooved tamers for the rear and would like to get those.

EDIT: stock rear rim dimensions are 20 X 10-9

nope, i would say the only 18 inch tire you can run on a 8 inch rim is the holeshot mxs, but i dont keep up with the new razr 2 and kendas, they might make one that does too...

the holeshots are great tires, they hook up better than tamers

nausty, yes theyll work......

your stock rim is a 9" thats all you need to know. after that you just buy a trie with a 9" rim diameter....

that holeshot is a hot seller, so dont be surprised if its out of stock.....

by the way how much are you spending on these two rear tires? maybe I can hook you up....

93 for the rears then 110 for fronts, from rocky mountain atv. If you could hook me up that would be great.
