i had 25-13-9 spider tracs. it's one inch wider. it really helped the bike float around on snow and in water/mud better.

I would recommend some stock sized Cheng Shin Knobbies - they are really close to stock performance wise and they soak up some of the bumps if not over-inflated. That is my preference.

i like the knobbies also, great for the back as was said if not over inflated. nice for a lil doughnuts also.

i have 25 12 9 nobbies great for the snow and dry trails but not so much for the mud my thoughts)

i ran some 22" strykers for a little while was a little funner to ride but a bit harder on the body.

Thanks guys!!
I saw a set of tires on Craigslist and he had two 23x9x11 in pretty good shape for 25.00 but I dont want to get beat to death so I'll try to stick to the stock tires!

Stock tires are the best if you can get them. Dunlop makes a copy of the stock tires. Don't know about cost though.

I had the Carlisle knobbies 22x11x8 on my old 200 ran about a pound or two of air in them them. To my surprise they did really well in soft sand also. But they screach on concrete!

Wooly Boogers always worked good for me on any of the hardtails. I think most of them are 2ply, so they arnt to stiff.

yeah, wooly boogers are good, light and round. i recommend staying with lighter, rounder stlye tires like stock. the flat/squared off tires like trail pros and turf tamers make it hard to throw the bike around and also tend to be heavy and slow the bike down. I found my atc200 to be more fun with the stock tires half worn out than with new turf tamers. the better traction made it harder to control cuz when i would throttle it it would push the front wheel and keep going strait instead of going sideways and actually turning.

Running Duro Mudbusters (Woolies) on the 200. At 2 lbs they ride real well and still have descent height. Awesome traction aswell.

well, i don't have a 200, but my 80 185 has 25x12x9 wooly boogers on the rear. an a stock ohtshu on front. the boogers are really tough but i would really love to get some stock ohtshu's on the rear.
