    best tire size?

    I just bought some new 12 inch rims for my 350x and am wondering what the best size tire would be with stalk gearing height and width? and what kind of tire would be best for off road and pavement?


    I also am trying to buy a front tire and found the one that I like but they way they say the size is weird I need a 24x8x11 and theres says 24x8r-11 are they the same size?

    I run 23" on my 200x and they are great. I have enough low end (thats especially true with a 350!) and I can get plenty of speed as well. As for a road tire, you may want to look into something that is like a slick, if you ride strictly on the road. If you do the road only sometimes, any tire will wirk. The road will quicken up tread wear though

    A 350x with 12" rims..interesting!!

    I love experimenting with rim/tire change ups.

    Never occurred to me to try that setup..mostly been playing with my ES and SX.

    Love to see some pics when done.

    How about for the front. What is a good tire/rim combo to use. Cause, ya know, there are only two 23.5x8-11 tire types available.
