    my odd front tire

    Still trying to get two new rear tires but i have this rare discontinued 25x13.50-9 mccreary trail breaker atv tire. I can't get any more of them and thought it was pretty aggressive looking. The only concerns I have is A- getting it between the front forks, may be too wide and B- thats the front wheel in the photo and I am pretty sure i need a inner tube for it. Its a two piece rim, thats what it came with. Feel free to comment with your opinions or ideas with this tire up front.

    Two piece rim is completely normal, see that groove in the rim on the insides of both halves, that's were an oring goes to seal them together

    i know there was a o seal, but from what i was told, its very tough to keep the seal in place while bolting together. and getting a good seal is critical so i am tubing it. don't want any slow wheel leaks

    Lay one end of rim down, place tire over the rim half on ground, apply oring grease to the groove, place oring, apply oring grease to other rim half, place that rim half on rim half that's laying in the ground, bolt together. No need to tube it, worked in the 80s still works today

    it was designed for a rear tire but they are discontinued. thought that the tire would gook really mean up front. now if i can get some rear tires with 2" treads on them...like the black mambas or mudzillas
