Tire Size?

[waterfowler]

OK, feeling kinda dumb. I have 22X11X8 Tires on my 200X. Can anyone tell me what the three numbers stand for?
Thanks,

The first number, in your case 22, is the total height of the tire in inches
The second number, in your case 11, is the width of the tire in inches
The third number, in your case 8, is the diamater of the wheel hole in inches.

You can use different height tires, and small variations in width, on the same wheel. You cannot use a different wheel hole size. The other gotcha about trike tires is that the old honda trikes, up to 82 I think, used a 22x11-8 tire, but it was for the two piece (split) rims. These tires are not interchangeable with the tires for a one piece rim. When buying used tires, or from Ebay and such, you need to make sure which rim type the tire is for. Your 200X has one piece rims.

The other thing about tire height is that air pressure makes a big differernce. Also there is significant variation between 22" tires of different makes and types.
