Stock Tire / Wheel Sizes

[Krandall]

Hey quick question:

All around what are the tire sizes and wheel sizes for the raptor?

I am for sure ordering new tires and possibly new wheels this weekend.

[Colorado700R]

Front 10-5's with 21-10-7's

Rear 9x9 with  20-10-9's

sweet, thanks Aaron.

Front 10-5's with 21-10-7's

Rear 9x9 with  20-10-9's

Isnt that the same size as the 350's?

Yep

So.. Tires..

It's   Tire Height - Rim Size - Tire Width?



Say I have a tire I'm looking at thats 20 x 9  x 12

and stock rims are 9x9

What are the advantages?


this scenario is purely fictional. Just wondering

20 (Height) 12 (tire width) 9 (rim diameter)

wide track ='s better hook-up and stablity.  aren't you close to your total width limit now 

[Krandall]

Yeah, I was just using that as an example.

I'm looking @ rim/tire combos just making sure I get the right thing.

Well for your racing I would choose between the Razr 2's and the HS GNCCs.  Best two tires on the scene IMO.  Doubt you can go wrong with either 

Spend the $ on rims or get a few set of stockers for spares, you gonna need them  :'(

[Krandall]

Yeah, I have 2 sets of stock rims already so that's the route I''m thinking.


I'm looking at the Holeshot XC's.

Thoughts?


I originally was thinking the RAZR II's but I've heard nothing about them but being heavy.

Thought the GNCC's but didn't look much into them.

I raced the GNCCs last season, and loved them.  Front tire sidewalls are stiff so less chassis roll.  Also the rears on the GNCCs are better self cleaning for muddier conditions.  The R2's are tough as nails, but they slide too much IMO.  Great straight line accelleration though :grin_nod:

I would spend the extra coin on the tires.  You put so much $$ and effort into your bike already, you need good shoes to plant the power

I have XCR's and LOVE THEM!!!!! I have beat the shit out of them for 3 years and still 70% or better! The first time I rode with them I about flipped, they hook that good. XCR's and the GNCCs are the lightest weight 6 plys out. My next tire will be a tough decission between the XCR again and the GNCC. The GNCCs are a pound less than the XCRs.

If I were you I would get 4+1 front wheels. The more the center of the tire is centered over the ball joints the more precise you steering will be. Not to mention less bump steer.

I have used razr, razr2, I-razr, Kenda klaw, holeshot H-D, holeshot standards, XCR, shreaders, Pure sport bandits, and some others that I am forgeting about.


XCR's ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weight savings alone are worth it for me!!!!


What are stock wheel offsets? 5+3?

[preddy08]

I was talking about the front wheels, I believe they are 3+2. so if you go to a 4+1 you will be an inch narrower on each side, but less bunp steer and better handling.

I have +2 arms and 4+1's and come in around 48 inches.
