    beware of these on a trike though, a lil too much side bite. been there tried it for powersliding it takes alota effort. On a track esp, Normal riding you should be ok.

    Titan (aka Dico) Fast Trekkers 18 inch on 10 inch wheels gets a HUGE thumbs up from me as well - on the track only. These are not the best tire (nor size) for trail riding. The only problem is that they are no longer being produced - so you need to look kinda hard to find them.

    For trail riding - ITP Mudlites are awesome on any machine.

    For any hard tail machine (Non-rear suspension models) I recommend the Cheng Shin Knobbie. They are soft and plyable if not overinflated and seem to get excellent traction in mud, sand, snow - just about anything you can throw at them.

    Cheng Shin knobbies are also my preference on the front of anything but a 200X, 350X, or 250R. The really grab good.

    For sport machine front tires in stock size - I like the Kenda Front Max the best. Sport machines with 10 after market wheels - I like Holeshot Quad fronts.

    I have yet to try them on any machine - but would like to try a set of 4Snow tires on for drag racing and snow riding.

    Stay away from......DANGER _ DANGER.....>Caution - beware of Trail Pros!!! Worst tire ever made.

    Are you trying to say these are the only things that will last forever, Timmy?

    Or maybe that they are the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust?

    ok, i have a few dumb questions. i am replacing the wheels and tires on an atc90. i plan on using AMS replacement wheel as i can't find any others. they are 8 diameter and 8.5 wide. would i still need to use the 22x11x8 tire since it isn't 8" width?

    also, where is the best place to order the ITP mudlites?

    I love my carlisle trail pro's on my 185s. They are awesome in the mud and on the gravel. Still waiting to try them in the sand...

    Avoid any tire made by carlisle... All junk... The trail-pro, the strykers(wooley copy), the badlands(holeshot ripoff), even my skat-trak haulers on carlise casings have issues..

    Trail pros are perfect for a 110... but so are bald stockers.. Personally I would opt for the bald stockers as it would be much easier to load the trike into the back of my pick-up..

    Gee, I feel all left out. I tried Mudlites and didn't like them on sand. My son had 22 year old stock Honda and rode places I got stuck, so I bought stock Honda tires and lovem.

    Kenda Front Max, awesome front tires on a trike.
    I think my next rear tire will be a pair of Kenda KLAW XCR 22-11-9. Anyone have them?
