    Realtor tires on a trike?

    Any one ever done this? I have at 489's on the back of my big red now size 22-11-10 on 10x10 rims and would like something abit more aggresive( the 489's are only about 20 tall on there rims)

    I was thinking realtors because theres a good deal on them at ronnies going on rite now. 2 for $100.00.

    I want some more mud slinging ability.

    lastly can the big reds trailer hitch be mounted upside down? I was going to remove it but would like to keep it and get some ground clearance if I could.,

    Realtors are another tire on my "worst tire" list. They're too cumbersome. I had them on a 250 and couldn't wait to get rid of them. There's a lot better choices out there in the 100-120 range IMO.

    I think Realtors would probably be good on a torquey machine like a Big Red. Try it.
    Quads are for GIRLS!
    Trikes are for REAL MEN!

    Intresting...I never knew there were 489's and 589's. After looking in a catalogue I have (chaparral) I see that the 589's are available in bigger sizes. I ran those on a quad I had and they hooked up like crazy! I also see that gbc dirt divils and gators are available in the size you have now for around $45 a piece They look like they are a pretty aggressive tire.
