Big Red Tires Help!

[BIGREDGUY]

So its to my understanding that the OEM tires (25x12x9) for the 250es are still available to order and at the motoprimo by my house they show up as only $61.85??? Would these mount on to my 200e and is all i would need to do order in the tires and valve rims? Im confused, please take a look at the link. Thanks

the parts finder at my dealer alot of the time shows the part and price but is not available. you say its by your house, well your best bet is to go up there and find out.

[BIGREDGUY]

If they are available would the only things i need to order be the tires themselves and the valve rims? Why are the valve rims separate from the tire?

You can buy valve stems at autozone or advanced. I just bought tires for my 250es 25x12x9 ITP mudlites from Dennis Kirk. I love them. I think $65 each and shipped super fast. And discount tire mounted them for $8 each tire, I cut off my old tires and cleaned the bead before I took it to them it may be a little more if you have tires on rims.

[Mr_RPM]

you mean the rims, well what size is your tires on there right now? if the 3rd number is 9 (22-11-9 for example) then you should be able to put those tires on the rims you have now. on those tires you got posted above (big red tires) the size is 25-12-9, 25 inches in hight, 12 in width and 9 inches is the rim size. you can add/take 2 inches in width to your stock tires normally and the last number must be the same (so the tires fit to the rims.)

maybe im not understanding on what you mean by valve rims? lol

Good luck with BR OEM's. They are around if you look. I tried to get one to replace a blown sidewall, was on backorder. After 2 months I gave up. I got two new rears for the price I was quoted for OEM (about 130$). I have better traction with the new tires but the ride is definetly stiffer and it seems to ride a smidge high on the end. The tires are so stiff now I can run with less than 1psi in them and they still won't fall. I may just try to order the OEM again and wait for it. At least I can ride now in the meantime!

You got 25x12x9 mudlites for $65?

[BIGREDGUY]

man turns out they dont have them for that price anymore!! crap i should have ordered them when I had the chance.

I just bought a full round for my red from Dennis Kirk and it was about that price per tire give or take a buck. I take my tires to a local place called tire discount center and for a few bucks a tire , they change the valves, recycle the old tires and mount the new ones.

Thinking of selling the mudlites and rims off of my BR to upgrade to 27s... $300 for the set, and front wheel spacer (to get it centered just right) Got one winter of plowing on them is all... PM me if interested...

The 250ES BIG RED tires are sure to mount on your 200E BIG RED, I have restored my 1984 ATC200ES BIG RED from the ground up. A few years ago I went to my local Honda dealership and ordered new tires for my 1984 200es . My Honda dealer said they were the original equipment for this model. I have recently found out that these tires might be the original equipment for the 250ES BIG RED but they fit perfectly on my 1984 200ES,. I have looked at the brochures and it seems they are similar and it seems my Honda delaer made a mistake on my OEM tires. The 250es will fit your 200E OEM rims, here is my 200ES with the tires on it. The last picture is the 200E with the correct tires, they seem some what similar to the 250ES tires I have on mine.
