I have an 85 ATC200X that I am fixing up just to screw around on. It is mainly going to be camp bike while at the dunes. I am throwing on a set of 18's on the back (Holeshots) that I have laying around, so I now want something smaller for the front. Right now I think it has a 23.5x8x11. Anyone know where I can find either a 19x8x11 or a 20x8x11? Tread pattern really doesn't matter, just nothing too aggresive.

there isn't much choice, I use 23" fronts on mine, I have heard that there is a 22" front tire out there. I use 18" on my rears also, I use it for a mx bike and do pretty well also. If you are only using it as a camp bike, why not lower the fork tubes by and inch or close, that will the much cheaper way. I plan on using a 21" front tire on mine, but it costs a good deal to do so, it only works for 85/86 250r/350x, 86/87 200x, 10" front rim(douglas makes it), you have to grind the hub so that it clears, grind a bevel in the front caliper and turn around the lug nuts(so the taper is out).

Yeah, I think I will just lower the front. I've been looking around for a while and have not had any luck finding what I was looking for. I guess it doesn't really matter since this is going to just be transportation back and forth at camp.
