    turf tamers on a 350x

    Im looking for a tire that will slide easily under a stock 350x. Are turf tamers by Carlisle any good? Any recomendations?

    I used turf tamers on my 200x and loved them for handleing. The ground cleaance is reduced obviously and you will have to go up on the front sprocket to make up for the tires in gearing. I just bought a 350x with Holeshots on it. I have not ridden it much yet but from what I can tell I like them to this point.

    I've had Turf Tamers on everything I've ridden in the woods for the past 15 years (250R's and 350X's) and they've been very good to me. They aren't the greatest mud tire in the world and aren't the most puncture resistant either but they have never let me down. You just need to be a little careful is all. I run 20's on a 9" rim.

    Very thin weak sidewall, as long as it's not rocky, they are a good knobby tire. Just like Razr's or Holeshots...........

    I just want to be able to kick the rear end out around turns to keep my speed up. I plan to go with 20x11x9s if I can find them.

    those look like regular razrs, wich are awsome tires, but a bit heavy, the rzrII's are HEAVY and have a much more agressive tread pattern.

    out of the 2 go with regular rzrs

    Weak sidewall or not, if you ride with your head you'll have no problems. I've got many years of riding without incident.

    Carlisle Badlands, they look just like Holeshots

    I swear by my DUROs...they really do hook up great in a straight line, but the slight twitch of a butt cheek and you can slide that rear end out easily.

    just put a set of 20x11x9s on the 350x and have a set of 18s on the 200x.

    also...they will go through some mud...the channel in between grips just rips up chunks.

    an added bonus...they are cheaper than all hell at rockymountainatv.com

    Cmon over to the rocky parts of NewEngland. I'll add your torn sidewalls to the 7 I have stacked up now. Either that or I'll be looking behind for you all day long.....
