225dx rear tire size

[trike moto]

OK all you 225dx owners what size rear tire are you running? I'm running a22x11x8 that is stock and i have a set of 18x10x8 that i run also i have only owned this trike for about a month now and there is snow on the ground so no traction to see what is better also what size paddle tire should i buy for the dunes tire size is the only way to change final drive gearing "shaft drive" are you running stock front size tire? i have banshee hubs for my 225 for more wheel size options so tire size is only limited to the wallet size!!!!!

I highly suggest you stick with 22 inch. tires. When I bought my 225 it had 20 inch tires and the top speed was ridiculous (slow), but I was able to wheelie in every gears. For snow, bought a pair of Maxxis 4 snow, best snow tire you can buy for a 2WD ATV and they are cheap.
For the sand I'm clueless.
Actually if you need more power and less stop speed you can swap the ytm-200e final drive. But you'll need 25 inch tire to keep the same top speed. If you do install smaller rear tire it can be a good idea to change front tire diameter so that the trike stay level on the ground.

thanks. the 18x10x8 are turf tamers and i plan on studding them for the ice i got them for free so they are a good chose for studs we only ride on the lake one time a year so I'm not buying new tire for that the 18s i think will do all right what is a good tire for all around riding? on another note what is the diff between the 225dx and the 225dr i now the Dr has reverse any others??

stay with the stock size as your gear ratio would change so much. tires of these size are cheap mine has trail pros.

trailpro, hmm they will hold stud like crazy if you are able to screw into the rubber.
