right now im on stock tire size just with razrs in the rear. i was thinking of moving up tire sizes but i dont know how it will affect performance.

will 22's make it tipsy? or should i get 22 fronts 21 rears?

Recomendations? i dont need tires yet i just want to have an idea for when i do get them.

:confused:

well will 22's affect your performance?, performance of what? i dont know how thwe front tires affect anything but for rears i know that 18's are used for mx because they sit low and give you extra traction, 20's for xc (woods) becuase you prtetty much get the same traction but you got a little ground clearance to go with it, and i dont know what the purpose of 22's would be....

well the gearing on the kfx's is so damn low that i think going to 21rear or 22 rear would stretch it out abit and make it nicer.

for performance of bigger tires i mean is it tipsy how is the turning do you have to lean that extra bit in a slide to not tip.
stuff like that.

well if gearing is where your beef is at, id just keep 20' tires and then simply get a 36 tooth rear sprocket, yeah they are a little pricey but itll stretch your gearing out a bit

yea i like the torqueyness but its too much. a bit more top end would really help. im just gunna stay with 20's.

would you recomend a 36 tooth or 37tooth?. they are faster farm trails and then there are some hillclimbs thrown in. i think id be better off with the 36 tooth.

btw just to make sure has anyone had a 36 tooth on a STOCK quad? i dont want it to be too much that i have to feather the clutch starting out in 2nd gear.

21 front (less roll), 20 or 21 rear.

Tire size comes down to the terrain you ride. Do you need more ground clearance? If not don't bother getting bigger rear tires. Taller rear tires will not handle as well. If you are simply looking for more top end speed, change your gearing by either dropping a few teeth in the rear or go up a tooth up front (if there is room).
