do any of you guys run 22'' tires on your 200x's, right now i have a set of 20 inch holeshots and a set of 18'' turf tamers but the tamers really cut my top speed down and im looking for something to get top speed on the ice. any ideas on what tires to run

you could always change your gearing if you like the 18;s

i already have my gearing changed, no they are probally not going to be studded, I think im so used to my 20s and then when i put my 18s on it was a big difference, i already have a 35 tooth rear, im hoping i have enough power to run a bigger tire for the ice, i have some mods done to it, highcomp piston, webcam, so hopefully that will help, any other ideas?

studs are a must. the 200x should turn bigger tires no problem. my s turns 25 inch swamp foxs with out any problem.

yeah... my 86 200x has stock gearing, and it pulls my 25x13-9 buckshot mudders without hesitation.....

yeah but i have it geared higher so it would take more power to turn bigger tires right? yea i want studded tires, but alot of the times im just sliding around kicking it sideways

Mine came with 18's but I replaced them with 22's and am very happy with the added speed. I didn't notice a significant drop in acceleration but top speed is much better.
