    Placed my order today, over at Amazon. $93 a tire was the cheapest I could find. Place called Chapparal, or something close. Same price if you go thru them or Amazon. Either way, free shipping. Found another guy on Ebay who would give them to me for $260 but shipping was $50. Anyhow, I'll have to see about the rims and I'll post as soon as I have them installed.

    Eric the bearclaws are great for creeping through the mud but remember all trikes came with light 2 ply tires for suspension and light weight since they have low displacement engines.....now I have larger tires and wheels on my red and am happy with them but in all honesty good old nobbies are the best bet.....when you change from stock the bike handles a lot differently. To me it's more in rider skill than tire choice when getting through mud

    Nice, I put bear claws on the back of my 200es last year. I loved the traction but they were heavy and uncomfortable on the iron tails. I even ran them on zero pressure and they were still rock solid.

    I didn't learn though because I put 26" Executioners on my 250es, but at least it has suspention.
