I do a lot of trail riding, rock, mud, water, snow. Not to much into sand pits.
What is a good type of tire to get? Not sure if I should be looking for the flat/knobby racing type like a holeshot, or a more aggresive type like a bear claw.
I spoke with 2 sport quad rides today and both like their bear claws, but 1 says they are heavy. How much of a factor is weight, my 300 is all stock. 2 guys I ride with have good luck with Holeshots, but actually get stuck more then me with my very worn tires.
I have what might be the original tires on it now, H-Trac P/V 702
They have served me extremly well, I get thru eveything with them, they are not the flat top design like the holeshot, more of a rounded type tire, is this the type of tire I should stick with.
Also size is an issue, I have 22-10-9 now and was thinking about going larger for more clearance and traction. But from what I have read, 22 is about the tallest Ive seen on a 300ex.
Can I/should I go any taller. I still have the factory heal guards on it with 1.5 inch clearance on the right side and 2.5 in on the left. I think a little bending will increase the clearance on the right.
Can I go wider by an inch and use the same rims I have?
Last question, my tire size 22-10-9, 22 = overall tire height, 10 = width of tire, 9 = rim height, is this correct.
BTY, my front tires r 23-7-10 holeshot xct
Thanks
