Would putting heavy rear tires in an atc 110 hurt anything?

Its more rotating mass therefore be harder on engine, trans, and diff. Question is why would you want heavier tires and how much heavier are we talking? Heavier as in oversize or heavy as in filled with radiator fluid like we used to do on tractors?

I think he might be referring to putting on big heavy mud tires as opposed to OEM 2 ply tires. People do it, it can be done, it will work, will you like the results? That's up for question.

Remember, the more rigid the tire, the rougher the ride. Those tires are your only means of suspension. Eventually you will miss those soft plush tires, I know I do And I only have 4 ply knock off wooley boogers on my 200s and big red.

Hey on a small bike like that I prefer a tire like a dura nabi or the kenda pathfinders both great tires have the nabis on my 86 125m and the pathfinders on my 78 atc 90.

Putting kenda bear claws on it. So it will only be a rougher ride?
