Any ideas on 18(or so) X 7-9(or so) X 8 mud tires?  Something that resembles Bear Claws.  Or a wheel tht fits that is 7" in diameter.


2nd question:  What does everyone run on their mini for OFF TRACK riding?

Here's an interesting idea because the bike is very light. Have you considered getting a second set of wheels for only the back and putting some sand/paddle tires for only mudding. They'd work pretty good for mud, but they'd wear fast and ride rough on anything else. As for any other ideas, you're looking at finding some off-brand tires.

my son had a Lt 80 and I put a set of ditch witch tires from tractor supply on it and it went EVERYWHERE.  Tires were like 40 bucks.

Hmmm, why not just put some tank treads on it and paint it camo, that would be an awsome lt80, only problem is the tank treads for atvs cost about 2000 dollars for a set of four.

And weigh about as much as they cost..... Wink Anyway, you might want to look into rims off of gokarts. The any tires that dont have huge lugs will do fine because remember, you dont want to have the bike bog out in the mud hole so something with lugs that arent huge or deep would work fine.

I ended up getting some Kenda pathfinders, 18x9.5x8 with rims.  They should arrive today or tomorrow. 
Thanks guys!

Thats a good choice because of the directional patter will keep the bike from bogging out. Size is right too... Cool
