    Question What do you guys think about putting..

    about putting 18X9.5X8 turf saver lawn tires on a YT175. I only ride grass and hard pack dirt. I've seen some guys on the site do it before and was curious about the results. Plus I think they may look pretty badazz.

    There not ment for trike's. There ment for lawn mower's. But it should work, as long as your YT isn't a speed demon

    I run them on my 250R for flat-track and some MX. Work real well, but in the grass it tends to spin out sideways REAL EASY!

    I run a set on my R when I feel like playin or just puttin around. They're a good tire for what you'd be riding on, but they do spin easily, like Derrick said. Who doesn't like to spin around sometimes though.....
