I like the look of lower-profile tires, so I had a 22x7x11 Dunlop KT151 on the stock 200x rim.

Both my 200X's had a Chen Shen knobby C832 in the stock size because it was cheapest when I needed tires. Could not find them so I bought a Kenda front max in the stock size for my 350X. My other 350X has an old Nankang knobby I think is no longer availabl. My 250R has the Kenda as well.
As you can see, I'm not really picky. All seem to work fine for me.
I really like the Kenda front max, it steers and brakes very well on the front in all conditions, even snow. The Chen Sheng is a softer compound tire, and for some reason, much taller than other tires of the same size, I would say at least 2 inches when inflated to the same psi. You should be able to find a Kenda front max for around 70 dollars, just put one on my 350x, and had one on my 200x for years. The Chen Sheng is about the same price.

I give the Kenda Front Max a vote too. I put one on my 250SX and the difference in how it steered was incredible...it blew me away.
Kenda Front Max for the win!

Carlisle Trail Wolf, for the block.....!!
the kt151 tire handles awesome, its ashame its discontinued.
I see a lot of people are saying the kenda front max is a very good tire i guess that will be my choice, Thanks guys. Just saying my 83 is still on the original tires lol
Anyone have any links to where i can buy a front max for my front rim on my 83 200x stock rim? Thanks
ebay, bikebandit. go to dealer and order one, deniskirk.com
I have a new cheng shing c832 and it is def taller then another 23" front tire i have.
Ive had both on a 200x. front max looks funny buy seems to turn good. the cheng shin wears faster.
Here's a few links:
Be sure to check your shipping costs from the websites. Some places kill you on shipping tires using the "oversize shipping" charge. Dennis Kirk has the same price as Chaparral racing, but DK wanted to charge me 12.00 for shipping and I live an hour and a half away. 12.00 ain't bad to ship a tire, but if I can get it shipped to 8.00 off of ebay I'll take that option.
Rocky Mountain ATV usually has good prices, but didn't have the front max.

while youre ordering a kenda front maxx, look into kenda scorpion 22x11x8's for the rear. you wont be disappointed. lower profile with more of a squared footprint than the bubble 22x11x8's
