400EX Tire Options

[Kerick]

Looking for opinions on good tires. My 400's tires are about done. I ride alot of trail but I like the racier looking tires. I have 20x10x9 strock tires on. I have a set of ITP tires (holeshots) and rims 22x11x9 but they are so heavy i hate them. So whats a good tire?

razrs are nice, decently priced too with good grip.

I only own 18'' tires and don't do a ton of trail/woods riding anymore but if I did I'd use my 18'' tires.

I agree with razrs just don't get 22' tires if weight is an issue.

Their a reason why you wouldnt just buy another set of OEM tires?

The stock tires probably are not the "best" but did they do everything you wanted them to do, you already figured out the weight thing, form what I have seen most of not all aftermarket tires are heavier, made form harder rubber, are usually stiffer everything I dont want in a tire I am going to use on a ATV, when the tires on my 400EX wear out they will be replaced with another set of stock Honda tires..

for my riding i use mostly 18 inch tires but when it comes to gravel pits and woods and rocky places i use 20 inch tires. i did have very good luck with the stock back tires for those places but i also jumped the farthest i ever measured (124 foot) with the stock tires and folded up a sat of stock rims. many of the aftermarket tires will work great but are harder and heavier. for general riding most any of the 20 inch tires will be fine. the stock front tires suck! i like a stiffer sidewall on the front. for real rocky places you will want to go to the aftermarket tire companies.

I was thinking about a new set of stockers... I bought the quad with the ITP Holeshots and rim and they took so much power away I had to buy rims and I found a set of used rims on ebay but they had ow tread on the stock tires. So Idk if I should get stock 20" or if there were any other nice 18 0r 20" I should look for.

if you don't need to get your center of gravity lower for something like MX i would go with 20 inch.
