cheap 250sx tires

[ailll1]

im thinking about gettin new tires for my 85 250sx (only back ones)as those i got on now are starting to leak
i wanna know if any of you guys knew a good place to buy some cheap
and id like to have suggestion about models that work good in little mud and snow
ill probably go with stock size which is 22x11-8
right now i got dirt dogs

[ATC185guy]

as for the type i dont know, but i got mine off ebay pretty cheap, 69.99 shipped, but they where for a 185s and they where the stock nobby type

[ailll1]

what about their traction?
i guess on dirt and hard ground would do well but im not sure about mud and snow...

[Walkerallen]

the stock nobby are great in mud and snow in my opinion

[ATC185guy]

idk i live on a lake and i can plow through 2 feet of snow pretty easily with them, and for mud...i rode through about a foot and a half of mud...didnt get stuck. spun the tires of course but didnt get stuck. i like them

[ailll1]

sweet
so are ebay tires less expensive or is there another website that are cheaper?

109.95 shipped

[ATC185guy]

no dude, it dont get any cheaper than that, i paid 69.99 a piece shipped for mine and and there less tire than those so IMO thats a damn good deal

[jb2wheels]

I bought a Chen Shin 829 knobby and a pair of 828 "Lumberjacks" for my 200s from BikeBandit. About $120 shipped. The 2 Lumbebrjacks would have come in just under $90. All in 22x11x8.
I just mounted them on the rims last week. The 200s is inop so I have not ridden them.
I was surprised by how different they are. Both types are 2PR, but the knobby is a great, light, flexible balloon knobby. The lumberjacks are stiffer and heavier - probably a great rough trail tire.

[mopar_man]

You can get the Cheng Shin C829 for $108 shipped from Dennis Kirk. If you check their site, there's quite a few different tread patterns around that same price.

[Woodsrider]

The only problem is that the shipping prices are higher because we are in Canada.

And me, personally ,I do see a big difference between a knobby tire and a tire with a snow/mud tread....the knobby being inferior in the mud and snow...just my opinion from my own personal experience. I really like the Mud-Lite and the Wooley-Booger type tires. I like the thought of having the 6-ply Mud-Lites when I'm way back in the woods.

[ailll1]

tires i got on right now looks pretty much the same as wooley-booger and i find them slippery in snow,maybe the snow is too crusty these day...
i also got duro knobby on my 200s ,great grip on hard trail and dirt but thats not but what im looking for. but once again they are way cheaper
ill check their price at my local dealer to compare with other websites.

[Woodsrider]

You can also check www.royaldistributing.com They are in Ontario and they usually ship very fast....but I find around here, it's cheaper to just go to a local ATV shop. There are always lots of ads in Kijiji and LesPAC for new tires from some of the local shops.

What area of Quebec are you in?

[aldochina]

nobbies will make due in snow, but they tend to load right up cause the lugs are spaced so tightly. There are much better mud/snow tires out there. But for economical purposes you wont find a cheaper tire than your average nobbie. I am surprised you say your wooly booger style tires dont grip. i find these to perform much better in the snow than a nobbie.

Who has a new Dunlop KT576 for sale?

[3wheelmecca]

lumberjacks are also good in sand as well, I ran those on my 350X in the dunes. knobbies seem good if they are spaced way out like on the stock 200S tires, otherwise they are only good in wetted snow because the snow just falls off.

[ailll1]

im from abitibi region of quebec
theres not much atv store out here so thats why im lookin over the net
theres like 1 store for kawas, can-am s and hondas LOL
plus they screw all the time so im always looking somewhere else most of the time
and by the way i found a wooley-booger and a dirt dog tire in pretty good shape,no crack in my garage but they arent the same size
22x11-8 for the dirt dog and 21-11-8 for the wooley
could the 1 ince difference screw with my differential as it would be unleveled?

[Woodsrider]

I wouldn't say that it would screw with your differential like it would a street vehicle, because it's not a differential like on a car, but it would likely make it handle poorly because one rear tire would always be going a little bit faster than the other . However...it is slightly possible that the two tires could have the same(or almost the same) circumference(especially if produced by different manufacturers).It might be worth verifying. If money is tight, it might be possible to add enough extra air to the smaller tire to make it very close to the bigger tire in circumference. It's not the ideal thing to do, but it's just an idea that might work out for a little while while you are looking for a good deal on tires.

[ailll1]

great ill try that out,ill put up some pics of it as soon as its doned.

[Dirtcrasher]

^ You know who does!! cough up the 400$ and enjoy it (I guess...........)

Someday I'll unmount mine when people want to pay 1000$ for them..................To me, A tire that performs well and holds air is good enough for me.

Don't get me wrong. I love these 100% original trikes. But, someday you die and then what happens to it?? Does it really mean that much to show 20-100 people how lovely your OEM rare stuff is?? Not my thoughts I guess.............. I got rear ended and my OEM fender was ruined just like that, and I didn't miss a beat! Right back to the ride with great 3WW friends I went.

As for the rears, I like 20" tires on an SX, they're a bit heavy and those slide better. Why want such an aggressive tread on a machine without a manual clutch??

IDK, but I feel that all the holeshots and Razors are just fine. With an SX (esp an 85) you really don't want to be in allot of mud/water anyhow IMHO.................

My buddy bought HUGE Spidertracks for his SX!! I thought, what the heck are you doing, it's not a 2 stroke, no clutch, why tax the drivetrain and motor so much??

[Thorpe]

My vote for the snow and mud is the ITP mudlite... Perform awesome on my BR, and do very well pushing the plow around....

[Frankencelery]

I'm using Cheng Shin C827's all around on my SX. They're very soft and give a cushy ride, but they're only 2-ply and you guys have told me enough horror stories that I want something a little tougher when I hit the trails this summer. They're a knobby, but with the knobs spaced far apart, so they don't clog up quite as bad as the old stock knobby. However, they are fairly poor in the snow and mud. I got stuck in 4-6" of mud just the other day and had to push my way out.

Hey, what do you guys think of the Maxxis RAZR M932? Several vendors have this tire on sale right now. Dunno, maybe this isn't the best tire for trail riding? I was thinking about putting a set of these on my 200x.
