Ytm 225 Dr//dx Tires Size

[HEAD09]

Hey guys looking to see what the good and bad of tires sizes of going down too a 20" tire in the back....did you like the change or should i stay with 22" in the back....have the shaft for a standard gear wanted too know about the low end and top end differences.....thx

When I bought my 225 it came with 20x10-9 rear tires. With theses tires you really lost a lot of top end speed. Riding WOT in fifth gear with 20 inches tires is like riding WOT in forth gear with the original tires. But I was able to do a power-wheelie up to the fourth gears. I say buy 22 inches tires and to gain stablity install wheel spacers or offset rims.

I run 9 inches wheels from a Yamaha sport quad on my 225 now. These wheels have a +1 offset built into them.

Incase you don't know, you can flip the wheels around and it will widen the stance (valve stems on the inside).

Depends on what kind of terrain you ride on. If you ride in the woods, on trails with rock's ect, I'd leave the 22's just for clearance. I run Kenda Klaw's (22's) on my DX and love them.

i guess ill stay with 22 then...just want to see how the 20s held up with the gear ratio.......thx
