    ice Tire and other Options For My 85 Tecate?

    Im looking at these Carlisle Turf Tamers that ar 20"x11"x10" for the rear end of the Tecate for Ice racing. I saw a pair at Gander Mtn. today and then jusat saw this set on the net. They are 4 ply and have dimpled Knobbies. Will these help studs well and last. I think they are a harder compound tire but not sure. Got good reviews about how well they wear. $45 each
    Im running 20"x10"x10" Fast Trekkers now. 20"X11" will fit on my 10" ITP Aluminum rims right? .

    Any other good tire choices for my Tecate for the ice racing season? 22" tires seem a bit high as I want to be as low as possible. I figure every inch lower counts. Is there any gain or loss in handling and speed? If not I think Cheng Shin has 22"x11"x10" Knobbies that everyone likes for the ice.

    I have 4x156mm hubs any 8" rims fit those? Get real low.

    Or does anyone have something that will work for me that they want to part with?
    Lets hear what you guys think.

    your gonna have to bite the bullet on tires or buy new rims and get cheeper tires.. or find a used set

    Rims and Tires

    I thought with my 4x156mm bolt hole pattern I was stuck with 10" rims. I get confused on what will work and what wont. I think I remember someone saying to put 84 hubs on my Tecate and I can run 8" rims. Maybe that year hub is a 4x110mm bolt pattern. Which I then can get into Honda sizes? Im just lost.
    I want to buy a good set that I can run for the next few winters and I like to have the best possible when I can. I need to buy these and the Rear Swingarm bearings within the next few days and pay my builder or all will be lost. Waiting on X-System, but time is short for all this time of year. Im out of work for the break and dont get paid for the next month. Hoping to get some laps in before I go back to work. Hope to have her done within 2 weeks.
    I guess I just need someone to say Do this, this is the best setup you can run on the Ice.
