    Honda 125 M Needs Good,Tough Tires Plz Help

    I Piched up this Honda 125 M from a Friends Father. Its in real good Shape but the Tires are Original. They are Dry Rotted and the Front Has 4 Plugs filling one big Hole. The left Rear Goes Flat after a Few Minutes.

    The Size is 22-11-8 all around. Im looking for Tires that will last a long time (4-Ply or 6) and Have a Good Knobby Pattern for Pulling Deer and Doing Work, Good for Mud and Snow and being Comfortable for Riding on all day. Give me your Opinions and Knowledge so I can get some Shoes on this Trike and Use her.

    Heres a few Pics of her, just as I bought her. Not even Cleaned up yet.

    Wooly Boogers. Scary wide, and nice in sand, snow, mud and dirt. If you're too scared of a rough ride, get the stock Cheng Shin high-profile knobbies, but I'm guessing you already have those so what the hell......

    I just got a 225 with a brand new cheng shing on front. You don't want one of those. Hardly any tread on them at all and thats why they are so cheap.

    I'd want something with a bit more tread depth for sure and a little more style to them like these Kenda Scorpions which do come in your size.

    They are 2 plies and give a nice ride as golf carts can use them also

    I'm noy saying to get them from here, this is just in reference to your size. No use recommending a tire if not made in your size.

    Here is a good price for them and only $10 shipping per tire. You won't find a cheaper shipping rate then that unless the tire is jacked up in price more.

    Other ones are the:

    Carlisle ....... dimpled & solid knobby (which seems like a rounded turf tamer)

    AMS .......... Fox AT (not a typical knobby at all but a nice choice for your model) - maybe 2 of these on back and a knobby up front or all the way around?

    Duro ......... Knobby Tread ( close to the cheng shing but with a bit more meat and side tread)

    All in your size and listed here with good pictures.

    Wooly Boogers Rule! Paddle-y good in the sloppy stuff, and a profile that gets sideways on the hard pack easily.
