about putting 18X9.5X8 turf saver lawn tires on a YT175. I only ride grass and hard pack dirt. I've seen some guys on the site do it before and was curious about the results. Plus I think they may look pretty badazz.

There not ment for trike's. There ment for lawn mower's. But it should work, as long as your YT isn't a speed demon :lol:

I run them on my 250R for flat-track and some MX. Work real well, but in the grass it tends to spin out sideways REAL EASY!

I run a set on my R when I feel like playin or just puttin around. They're a good tire for what you'd be riding on, but they do spin easily, like Derrick said. Who doesn't like to spin around sometimes though.....

are the ones you are talking about the same thing as turf tamers? because my friends run those all the time when they race there 450s and they seam to love them, they cut off some of there knobs on the tires a certain way, i dont remember how tho

Weve run them on the dirt track, but God help you on a hardtail! These are typicallty run at 12 psi, and hard as a rock.
