My ATC250SX needs rear tires badly. The array of ATV tires is confusing as heck. I would like something like the ones that came on it stock. I do quite a bit of riding on cut grass and through fields, and quite a bit of gravel roads to and from riding locations. Not too much mudding and no sand dunes.

What's most confusing is that tires with the same size (22x11-8) have different shapes, height and width. What's up with that?

Last, some vendor recommendations would be great too. Thanks in advance!

Here's what I was talking about. On Beatrice Cycle's web site, there's a C827 and C829. Both have the same numbers but one is clearly wider...

Oh, and isn't it better to put tubes in them from the start, or do you try to hassle with getting the beads to seal?

yes, your are right, one is wider. and no, they are tubless tires, and it is not a hassle at all to get the beads to seal, just put in the recomended amount of air to seal it, and there you go. i had a paddle that needed the beads to seal, pumped it up to like 20lbs i think, and it reseated it.
