25" tires on a 350X

**Sargon2112** · 10-03-2006, 09:45 AM

Looking to add some clearance on my 85 350X. I was thinking about putting some 25's on the rear. Anyone out there run 25's on their X ?

Gay? I'm talking 25 x 12 x 9's here guys... ?

your 350X is gonna look extremely odd with 25" tires in the back. your front tire is only 23.5" tall so you trike is gonna look like a stink bug(ass high). if you are that concerned with ground clearence I say go for it, its your trike. another option is to get a new set of 22" flat profile tires and then get a hold of www.prm-atv.com and get a thick skid plate for the back.

I run 25's on the rear of my 200S. 22 on the front.

I like 'em!

I agree. On a sport trike, huge tires would look odd. Now, on a ute trike, I think the balloon tires that fill up the wheel well look great! As long as the front is of equal size(not necessarily width).

...but, as was said...its your trike. Do it up bro!

Do what you need to do man, looks arent so important if you are stuck out in the trails. its more important that your trike performs than how it looks.

Yeah, hes's right. A 200S is a more ute than sport, so the 25's are good on it.

Hey! I just realized. I have another pair of tires in my garage for the rear. Don't know if they are 25's or 22's though. Wonder if anybody needs some..........

**bigred1981** · 10-03-2006, 11:57 AM

All the bigger I go on mine is 21"... With 25's you'll have to regear if you want to maintain your gearing. With tires that big and stock gearing(assuming) It'll probably run about 120mph..

just jokin man, but it will gear it up and you'll lose some of that low-end get-up-and-go.

**Sargon2112** · 10-03-2006, 03:41 PM

Yeah I was expecting to have to tweak the gearing if I went with large tires. The guy who had it before me put 20's on it and they are too small for the type of riding I plan to do with the X. It will be in stuff like in Mastacator's pics.

Thanks for the opinions guys! Always value the opinions of fellow trikers... Maybe I'll compromise and go with the stock size. I'm getting Maxxis All Traks by the way, just have to decide on the size.

Here's a link to a pretty good site to buy tires incase some of you didn't know about this site. They have a pretty large selection and prices are not bad.

20s and a good skidplate, that what we did when I raced Cross Country, better handling and decent ground clearance.

25s will hit on the fenders.
