whats the biggest rear tire for the blaster

Vermont Woods · 02-18-2010, 07:46 PM

what about the specs on those tires I found... If I ordered that exact tire size what rim would I need to purchase to make them work with the blaster? 10" rim by..?

10x8 most likely. Width doesn't really matter, you could prob use 10x9 also but I think the 8 inch width is the most popular.

I had some 24x8x12's on the front (12x6 Polaris Sportsman front rims)with ASR+3 arms and raptor shocks (15.75" eye-eye). I have a +4 swingarm with a YFZ450 shock. Talk about ground clearance! Still got hung up on the sprocket/disc hub though. Really, REALLY good for log hopping though! I'm toning it down this year though. Back to stock shocks (for now), 22x7x10 Maxxis iRazrs, and a lower mount for the rear shock. Why? The tall stance really hurts handling and the huge front tires on steel rims were freakin HEAVY. Very noticeble as it's all unsprung weight. I wouldn't go more than 22" in the rear, and with appropriate gearing reduction for the front/rear sprocket.

Hey Paulie, are those 22" Bear Claws on 9's or 10's in that pic?

I was rocking 22" mud lites on the blaster that got stolen and they rocked. I got them because I'm more into woods riding than tooling around in sand pits and such and they were great for that. Basically taking the blaster through 4x4 trails, rocky, muddy woods.

I've heard the blackwaters are good but I duno about for the sport quads, because they are heavy. I think those tires are discontinued.

ITP Mud lites would probably be your best bet as they are pretty light while being 6ply.

My sig pic is the blaster with 22" mud lites.

Also, any bigger and you'd need an extedned swinger, as the tires were pretty close to the things behind the pegs. With stock wheels and no spacers the tires rubbed on the side of the part of the metal thing behind the pegs when I was going around corners until I clearanced them.
