    '85 Tecate with an LT250r in it
    '04 Kawasaki KX250F

    Are you looking for some better sliding ability? Do you want to stay with 22" tires? If you go smaller you will have to change your gearing with different sprockets.

    This is one hell of a deal on these 18X11X10 Fast Trekkers

    If anyone tells you not to run 18" tires in the desert.. I did it for years on 18" Turf Savers..
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    The balloons work well in the sand- just the front tire kinda hooks up a little bit...

    20 11 10 hole shots work good. they say 20x11 but they are just as tall as the stock tires. maybe a 1/2 inch shorter. or maxxis razors.

    Dcreel, I don't really care what size tires as long as they hook up! I don't really wanna change my gearing, kind of wanna get a better feel for the bike first. I've noticed a lot of people go with the razors. I hear they work well but I'm not crazy about how they look haha...But maybe I shouldn't be concerned with the look and be more concerned with performance.
