Tire upgrade

Posts: 91

On the HH250 the front tire size is 20x7-8. This has got to be the most annoying tire size, as I cannot find a replacement (not stock). The only replacement I find is some Chinese tire, and I just don't want that. I was thinking going to 20x8-8, but no reputable tire manuf. makes those. Has anyone found anything decent? Perhaps a taller tire too. Thanks!

Same problem here... trying to upgrade my 150's stock 19x7-8 to 20". I'm finding the same thing.... Carlisle makes one, called a 4-trax, and there's also the "Rutbuster" by Pirelli that I'm probably gonna go with... they look pretty mean.

The Catalog that Eric (BIGE) pointed me to on my tire thread shows that Dunlop makes a 20x7x8 -- all the rest on his catalog appear to be chinese. Is Maxxis chinese? They make one too.

The others are Kenda and Cheng Shin.

The cool thing about the catalog from BIGE is that it shows the tires listed by size.

You have to click on the link below,

then in the menu options underneath "BROWSE CATALOGS" choose "'09 ATV" in the first box, then "Tires" in the second box.

My local Walmarts usually have the Carlisle 4-max in 20x7x8 for about $55.

Thanks for all the info. I think actually it isn't the size of tire, it is the dimensions I meant. I am running 22x11-10's on the rear, and the stock is 22x10-10. I cannot seem to find 20x8-8, or at least a 21x7-8. Oh well, I did check out al of the other stock options, and they all will surely do the trick. Thanks!
