    what size tires for 200s

    I bought a 200s and a few days later immediately buried it in storage. Buried to the point that it will not see light until summer along withthe big red. The tires on it are shot, can anyone give me advice to the size for replacements, and a good tire to goto for alla round usage. Oh yeah and im a cheap ass so the best deal in a tire is good too.

    Stock size is 22x11x8 which is what I ran on the 200s's that I used to own and I didn't see a reason to change the size.

    I have bought tires from the first place I check for all my parts.... www.denniskirk.com and I have heard that www.rockymountainatv.com is a good place as well.

    If you wanted to get stock original tires for the 200S, you can get them here. Pretty decent in price.

    Ive had the el cheepo chen shing knobbies on the 200s, in a 22", which work good on ice and snow, but they do tend to make it a little bouncy-somewhat tippy. Ive also had 20" carlise strykers (which actualy measure close to 22) They were really good in my opinion, although they were a little heavy for the 200 to turn in the mud. Much more stable though.

    The 200s in my signature has the strykers on if you wanna see how they look.

    DON'T GET TRAIL PROS!

    The extreme horsepower from such a badass modification might melt the frame on your 200!

    Just playing around.

    i'd personally go with a kenda bearclaw...you will NEVER wear them out. i had a set on a bike for 5 years, sold the bike and i still see the bike occasionally and those tires are still going. it's a 6 ply...and the grip is awesome. also only about 50 bucks apiece.
