gator mud tires on a hard tail?

[kris45]

hey i was looking at tires want to put new ones on my ytm 200E how ruff riding do you think gators would be, im new to this just got the trike so i dont know how the regular tires that are on it ride? will be using this trike for hunting and fishing alot of mud holes to cross no fast driving all slow speed stuff. thanks kris

ON hard back they'll rattle your fillings out, but it'll happen on a suspended model as well as a non-suspended model. Is that ytm shaft drive? If so, I don't recommend it, because big knobby tires tear up rear diffs, and bearings faster then less knoby tires. But in mud you'll notice their there when you go through it instead of rocking on top with1 foot on the rear rack trying to keep the nose down.

thanks so they are really hard on the diff and bearings that is not good, yes its shaft drive just seems like the ones on there are like turf tires and would suck in the mud.

[kris45]

how hard is the diff to rebuild was thinking of doing that anyway?

I got gators on my 200m chain drive. it it not that bad. there lugs cross the center of the tire to give you that smoother ride.
