ok, so i decided that im getting Carlisle Turf Tamer tires. but i cant decide weather i should get the 18", 20", or 22"? this will be for trail riding, will i miss alot on the top end w/ the 18''s?

IMO the 18's dont give enough ground clearance, and 22's give a tall, off balance feeling...i use 20 inch turf tamers on my 350 (for the few times its not in the sand) and they do way better than I think they should.

i have 18's on my 200x and i love them, i already had it geared for top end with a 35 tooth back sproket so i probally am going faster than it did with stock gearing and 20's, you will loose ground clearance but 18's make it feel way more stable and there fun to slide in corners, but if its just trails id go with 20's for the clearance issues

i like the 22s 350x s have enuf low end torque unless the gears are changed lower youre shock for more stability and that way you can keep youre ground clearance

hmm, i think ill split the differnce and go w/ the 20's. oh, and i decided on Maxxis Razrs instead, the 6 ply, i think they would work better. :TrikesOwn

yea those are nice tires, i have a set of them also, i wish turf tamers were more ply becuase they hook up so good
