In the market for new rear tires. My question is what size should i get? 18' or 20's? I ride mostly trails. Also what tires would be best for my app. Wheres a good site to find deals on tires. Thanks!

if you mostly ride trails i would go with a 20 or a 22
what size are your front tires?

try the big companys, rocky mountain, dennis kirk, chapparal, etc.

I like my razrs and i do mostly trail riding. I would look into the new GBC's that look like the razrs too and see if the price is right on them. I get mine from rocky mountain or dennis kirk most of the time but there are more places you can look. I think c and d racing on here has tires, magic racing does, and i am sure there are a bunch more that i am forgetting. good luck choosing. you will get some holeshot stuff, razrs, kenda claws maybe, knarlys, razr 2's, and maybe some others. I like the razrs, the holeshots are too soft for me with the hard pack that i ride once in a while. If you have muddy conditions at all get some razr 2's or some of the xc type holeshots. otherwise for deep mud the gbc mudsharks are good they have 1" of lug on them and they are 21" tall. they are probably a bit much though. lol. steve

Yeah i think them Mudsharks are a bit much for me too ha. My fronts are 20" I think im going to try 20's, but not sure which tire. I like the Razr 2's. Still debating

yeah, go with 20's

i have seen quads with 20's in the front and 22's in the rear and they look goofy

razr II's are a bit heavy, and expensive, i would go with the standard razr if i were you

Dont mind that last question. I think im going to go with the Razr's for sure. But should i get the regular 20x11x9 or the 20x11x9 Ply 6? $20 More for the Ply 6. Should i go with it

i would swing the extra money if you have it

the first time you hit a sharp rock section, you will be glad you did

20 inch Razr2 or iRazr rear and 22 inch Razr2 fronts is a hard setup to beat. The iRazrs wear a little fast though

I have tried all of the top three.....Holeshots,Kenda klaw and Razrs and i would have to say for trails......Razr2.....minimum 20" for trail....i have tried 18's on trails and bent the crap outta my swingarm skid plate.....well worth the money on the razr2's and they have excellent traction

GBC X-REX Tires. From What I hear, they are made in the same factory as maxxis razrs and have a new "improved" tread design. They hook up VERY well.

Only half the price too!

X-REX ATV Tire 20x11.00-9 Rear 6 Ply GBC Motor Sport ATV tire -- $59.12

Good luck with your purchase

I agree about the GBC tires....I have heard they are made at the same factory and that they are really good tires. I personally have not tried them but heard they are very comparable to the name brand tires. I am running razr2 6 plys only for a week or so now and they are aggressive.....

Check out Kenda Knarlys. 57.99 a pop for the 21x11x9 XC 6 ply, 68.99 each for a radial version. Good price and a killer looking tire. I'm going to test mine out tomorrow!:macho
