Title: Tires for 76 max ii
Post by: Dw89xj on March 23, 2018, 06:07:05 PM

Is 22x11-8 the largest I can fit on this year of lower? It has the bubble over the front tires. Also I won't be using it in water much, would knobbies be okay? What about the knock off strykers with the Chevron and knobs pattern? I'm being kind of cheap but I won't be swimming this machine enough to justify the cost of actual swim tires. Any suggestions? Has anyone tried heating the lower and working those bubbles out to fit a larger tire? I think the extra ground clearance from 24 or 25 inch tires and flotation from a larger tire should help me out. Thanks for any insight.

Best to stick with the 22x11x8 . Better fit and tire's are Cheaper. I Have some 21x11x8 tires and wheels at the shop if your in need ?
If you go with new use the Strykers Over the Kobby ! You want to keep the machine UP ON TOP ! Not Dig in to much as you will High Center it !!

I appreciate it, I have tires, 4 of six need tubes, old and cracked but if I can get a few months out of them that will give me time to save up for new or better tires. If the tires you have are better than mine I'm sure we could work out a deal. The machine is gonna basically be new mechanical wise, I figured with all new stuff why not throw tires in the mix too? This thing should last a long time after it's all back together.

This is true  ;)
I would get it up and running then invest in New rubber. Kinda work the bugs out first.

I'm hoping the bugs will be minimal with all new wiring and everything.....hopefully whistling

 Hi Dw89xj, not to be negative but, don't waste your money on tubes. Put it in your tire fund. The tubes will be sans valve stems tout de suite.

I hadn't considered that thank you
