    Factory 400EX tires are real good on 2 stroke trikes. Probably one of the best trail tires i've ran.

    We've got 20" razr's on this last z I built and they trail great. The only possible difference is that this z has a little work done to it and it's hitting hard! I'd say go with the 400ex tires if you aren't modded fairly well. They're easier to break loose.

    Stock YFZ450 tires. I have them on mine. Similar to 400ex tires (which I use on my 250r) but the YFZ meats are 1 inch taller for greater clearance and still have a flat profile so they slide decent.

    Kenda Knarlys are great in the woods. The handle mud well, clean out great and really grip on the hills. All around great tires for good price. I have them on both 350x's and the tri z. Good luck.
