i use many different ones, i now use yzf450 tires and factory 9 inch wheels, also i run turf tamers on 10 inch rims, i tried them 44 inch tires but they wouldnt clear the rear fenders (or the footpegs)

if you flip the stock wheels around i think you gain just over an inch. valve stems also will be a little more protected from side ways action!

Iwallace, since you haven't gotten a straight answer or pictures yet from any of the Tri-Z guys yet, I guess an old reliable Honda 250R guy will have to come to the rescue. Even though it's a Honda, you can still get the same tires for your Z. These are 18x11x10 (18" diameter x 11" wide x 10" wheel) Fast Trekkers. I would then recommend either an ITP or Douglass 10x8 rear wheel, with 3+5 offset, to mount them on, and I haven't heard of any difficulty getting those wheels in your bolt pattern (4 on 115mm I believe). I don't have a pic of them, but 18 or 19x11x10 Holeshots are also very popular low profile rear tire choices.

With either set of tires, you'll love how the bike handles. The ride will be a bit stiffer, because you no longer have those big balloon tires soaking up the bumps, but the improved looks, handling, and ability to confidently pitch it sideways at a moments notice will more than make up for it.

Red Rider,

Shouldn't those hooks be facing the other way?

[Kintore]

Hey, Im using the razrs on both my Z's and I love em.

Here ya go-




There ya go!

On my first set of Fast Trekkers, I did have them facing the other way, and they had no directional arrows. Now the manufacturer puts directional arrows on them, and they are mounted up properly. Seems backwards though doesn't it?

i run a titan 489 23 inch on the front. i want to go with a 22 inch up there next time.the rears, i run 18 inch holeshots on 9 inch offset rims on honda 250x hubs.this set-up gives you 50 inches of width in the rear.

Now we're getting some responses from the Tri-Z guys. From the way that the Z owners are responding, early-mid afternoon, I can tell that those with flattrack tires are party animals, and are just now getting up after a long night of partying. And those that get up earlier are wiseguys.
