My tires are almost bald, the tread is really worn down!!!
Anyway I live in New England so I need a rear tire for ALL types of terrain and weather conditions. From -10f on the ice to 90f on the dirt, an all around tire!!! I need it to not be a domed tire too, they suck in the snow!!!
Tell me the tire name/code and what web site to find it on please, thanks!! :beer

turf tamers are awesome for everything...get some 20-11-10's on douglas .190's....they look sweet on the trike and work on everything...you might have to stud them for ice though obviously....i personally like the turf tamers because they slide sideways a hell of a lot easier than my razr's did....i hate razrs for 250r's...

Why not replace them with the stock dunlop's? I see alot of guys up here where I live running mud sharks anymore. They swear by them.

I've got the Dunlops that come on Raptors and Z400's,ect. I think it's KT335? They are great all around tires and even do surprisingly well in the snow. They wear a lot less than the stock ATC tires or the ones that come on 400EX's.

I would check out the Holeshots, very good all around tire, good for everything except mud. The Kenda Claws are also getting very good reviews and it is an inexpensive tire, probably the best tire for the money. I have Holeshots now and love them, but I think im going to give the Kenda Claws a try next. :TrikesOwn

For the price turftamers are the best, and good all around, ive used them everywhere. The only tire that will hook up better is holeshots, but holeshots wear almost twice as fast as tamers.

Turf Tamers get my vote here as well, for "all around" ya can't beat it. They are lighter than most of the other multi ply tires people are mentioning here too. Now for a similar, same manufacturer, but more WICKED look... get the Fast Trekkers, I think their called. They look great in the widest size and perform a tad better than Tamers. :naughty:

Funny I was just looking at those this morning. Do they make them in 20's? I only see 18's.

I have the Armstrong Fast Trekkers on my "R" and love them. If you do any kind of woods riding, get something else as the sidewalls are VERY small and you will feel every little bump and mess up your rims if its rocky. if you ride clear trails, open areas...etc they are awesome. I've chewed through tree roots with them before!!!! :w00t:

Yes they do, just not on that site. I'd get the 20x11x10s if ya can find them. Haven't seen them in that size lately... The 18x11x10 look the most RAVISHING IMO and would be just fun to rip it up on but hey we're beyond that right!?!? :mad:
