Im curious what you all run.

Im looking for replacements for an 85 and 83 and am only finding the cheng shins in the right size. Im looking for a general trail tire. Does anyone get different side rims than stock to make different tires work?

Learn me some!!!

TIA

good year and dunlop both make a slightly smaller tire both are 22x7x11 but the tread is much more agressive and I plan on using the dunlop (kt 151, I have allready) for my general trail rider.

other then that if you have a 85-86 you can get a 10 inch front rim and then you have nearly unlimited possiblities for tires, if you have a 2nd gen 250R you will need the liquid R's front hub to run a 10 inch wheel.

Any near stock solutions for the 83 to stay gold? If I get the hub do I need a new axle? Im into the 10" on the 86's. Means I can get a kit and double up no? Any wheels choice for trikes? Honestly havent got new wheels/tires since christmas of 96 for my 350x and tecate.

That 500's looking sweet btw. Been following it closley.
