22" Tires on a 300EX?

[Darrell]

I have 21" Mud sharks on my 300EX right now. I ordered a pair of 22" Razr's for it. After I got looking, I'm worried that the 22" ers are going to be big.

Does anyone have 22's on thier 300? And how is it working out is so?

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing for a while. I have 22"s on there now. They dont seem big really when riding it. Come spring, im ordering 22" Razrs for the rear. There not going to be much bigger then what your currently running

[Darrell]

yeah my sharks are wore, and they are'nt much bigger than a set of wore out 20" holeshots I have.

Its' just when I took a tape measure after it a I was afraid the 22's would be real close to the heel gaurds.

I needed new tires, and wanted to gear up a little more. I thought I'd be killing two birds with one stone here.

22's are stock size on a 300ex

i run 22" sur traks on my 300 for the winter and they work fine, although 2-" would be a better choice thats what i run in the summer, the ground clearance isnt much of a problem either

Uhhhhh......its just like the stock i would go down a size to 20 it would be a lot better and it looks great!

[Darrell]

didn't know that, the 20" Holeshots were on it when I bought it...but, cool..thanks for the info

mine with 22" in front and back razrs....i am getting 20"s for around my property....and keeping 22"s fro real riding

i have 22'' razr's on the rear and yeah they hook up good but i don't like how big they are. i think they are kinda ugly personally. i would go with 20''s. i borrowed my neighbors stock 400ex tires and they look better.

[toby400ex]

your neighbor let you borrow his tires, he must be nice, those 22 inch razrs should get great traction and good ground clearance.

think there big i had 24" honda OEM rancher tires on my 400EX for a run in like 11" of snow.... talk about bad for your bearings

[2fastandfurious]

I have 22's on my x. I love my ITP Black Waters. I will buy the same exact tire when these wear down, I am going to try studs in um next weekend too!

how is that bad for your bearings????:huh

[Butters]

yeah my neighbor is going to give me those tires when he gets his turf tamers so thats why he let me borrow them to see i would like them.

I don't know but MR.250X put 25 inchers on his 250x pic of it in the open forum, I was like:huh

[wheeltrax]

you think those are big.. look at this.. this is what came with our 230.. then we sold it, now i got the 250x. I beleive they are 25"

[Darrell]

Thanks for all the input, part of me wishes I ordered the 20's instead on the 22's (oh well).

Hey! me and my father built a bead breaker so that we can change out our own tires. If anyone is interested in building one I'll post a photo of it. I used all scrap steal and have "0" invested in it. It ain't pretty, but works awesome.

I took my old dented wheels with the wore out holeshots and dis-mounted them. Then I took my good wheels with the mudsharks on them and dismounted them (I'm putting the Razr's on those).

Then, I mounted the Mud Sharks on the dented wheels, now I'm all set to mount the Razr's when they come in on Tuesday, and I'll Have the Mud Sharks as spares instead off the Slick Holeshots.

Anyways thanks for all the info. and pics of your machines...

[Butters]

yeah if you would post pics of your bead breaker that would be nice. i have made one but it doesn't work very well. thanks.

[Darrell]

will do..... might be a couple days before I get them on here though....

just today, I broke the right front down and replaced a valve stem that had a slight leak in it....(approx 10 minutes total time).... handy dandy, whippy dip tool I have...LOL

It works great! although I still have 1 more improvement on it I want to make.. :)

take care

[Butters]

what is the improvement for it? thanks i would sure like to make one.

[Darrell]

I got my new Razr's on last night. Even though I think they're awesome, I wished I had went with the 20's.

[Darrell]

The improvment on the breaker is a way to hold the tire still, but easy to turn and release (havent got it all figured out yet). :)
