    Tires for my 1983 185s

    Well today the old tires on my free 185s literately ripped so I'm going to need some new ones. Looking for some pretty cheap ones that will last. The ones that are on it are 12x9. Maybe go a little smaller? Just like them to be some general atc tires no superswampers

    If you look on craigslist, you can probly get some used tires cheap. Pretty much any standard atv tire will work well.

    I got these on mine:


    They are more round in real life the pic the look square. They rip I love them and only 5.00 more a tire than the balloon tires and they handle alot better. They were the same size as my old balloon tires but look alot smaller. 40.00 a tire.

    Do the tires need to be the exact same size as the ones on there now?

    No not really, they just need to be the same rim diameter. I think yours is 8" in diameter. I wouldnt go to short on wheel height since your trike has no suspension in the back it will kill your spine. Id stay with at least 20" in height.

    I'm kinda stuck between these two
    -Duro Knobby
    -Duro Mud & Sand
    Buying from Rocky Mountain ATV
    I wont be doing much mudding and will be mostly just riding around in the yard, so I don't want something with too much traction, but I want to have it when I need it.
    Thanks!

    Any balloon tire would work just fine as long as its measurements are the same, just shop for the price you will find you can get the whole trike outfitted for around $100 if you look enough.

    Those are the best tires for that machine IMO, had them on my 82 and that sucker was unstopable, 22-11(12??)-8 size I think. Normally they are pretty cheap, or you could go with Carsile Turf Tamers, fairly cheap and get around decent
