    What Size Rear Tires on Your Tri-z

    What size rear tires are on your Tri-z? OEM call for 22x11-8 but was wondering what size others actually use? And what ply do you use..2, 4.. 6 .etc?
    Thanks

    Personally, i love oem Banshee rears. They're lightweight, 2 ply, and offer plenty of straight line hook. But, they also slide great. Many people go way overboard on rear tire selection imo. 250's hate rotating mass.....

    What type of riding do you do? That's what will determine what tire and size you want to run.

    Mostly trail type and a few sand river beds. No sand dunes around here so its most gravel and dirt, depending on the road or field.

    Then I'd go with a 20" tire. Personally, I like the Turf Tamers I have on my 350X and I liked them when I had them on my R too. I've been running them for years. When its time for new tires I'll probably go with a 4 or 6 ply just for the piece of mind of a more durable tire but I haven't had any troubles with these 2 ply ones.
