whats the biggest rear tire for the blaster

Vermont Woods · 02-18-2010, 04:12 PM

Hey guys, as you know I live in Vermont (I would hope you would know from my name)... I am HOPEFULLY getting another blaster this weekend FINGERS CROSSED. I am looking to get BIG tires for the rear as I have some pretty hairy trails near my house.. I want to have a good high stance for it... Also do they make "lift kits" for blasters that would help me out at all? Cheaper the better but I am open to all that you have to inform me about... Pictures and links as to where I can order them is a plus too! Thanks guys..

maybe even bigger shocks? I dont know I am just trying to make it so it can get through some technical trails some rocks, mud, (no water), hill climbs etc..

most guys just run like a 22 on the front and 20 on the rear i believe for harescramble stuff which is technical trail stuff. i have 22's front and rear on mine and it sits up in the air by a ways

The lowest spot on the blaster is under the sprocket and brake disc on the rear axle. Only way to add clearance there is getting bigger tires, but I wouldn't go bigger than 22 inch tires, anything over that seems overkill and would add more rotational mass to turn.

I have 21.7.10 fronts, and 21.10.9 rears and they are real big...and they´re mudsharks.

do you guys have pictures or links that you can send me of your tires? Thanks for the info on clearance that just proves my prediction.

Heres a shot of 22" Razr's on back.
Too tall IMO,
and a shot of 22" Bear claws- they sit right.
Finally w/ 20" Dominators.
All 3 have Maxxis 22" front pro's up front.
Be aware that different manufacturers have different sizes, not all 22" tires are the same height.
Hope this helps.

Wow I love the look of the first two pictures (for my own style of riding here in the mountains of Vermont)... I also found these but they aren't in 8" rim (correct me if I am wrong but aren't blaster rims 8"?)

ITP Blackwater ATV Tire 22-12.5-10, ATV, Tires & Tubes, ATV Tires, ITP at Bob's Cycle Supply.

They look really very aggressive and they are cheap only 29.00

Yeah stock Blasty rims are 8".
Maybe find some 10" rims.
That's a great price for those tires but you better have a lil front sproket, good clutch and some power for them.

a stock blaster cant handle those tires you dont think?
