what size tires

Hey fellers, im ready to upgrade from my turf tires to atv tires but I have a few questions first. Am I able to pull a little bit different size tire on my existing rim? For example I currently have 20×10×8 turf tires and I was thinking about going to a 22x10x8 atv tire but the only ones in could find in that size are kenda scorpion. I believe I want want a little bit more agressive tread than they have. So, my 2 quuestions are 1. Are kenda scorpions good enough for basic trail and some mud running and 2. Would I be able to put say a 22x9x8 or 22x11x8 etc. On a rim that is made for a 20x10x8.

yea. you can. i have 10's on a rim for 8's and they work fine
and go to rockymountainatv.com and look for tires

The first number you don't have to worry about, it could be 10 or 50 and it wouldn't matter. The second nuber can be a few inches off but streching tires isn't fun and can damage the bead/sidewall. The third number needs to be the same.

10" wide on 8" wide rims. sorry. as long as the tire is big enough skinnier rims shouldnt matter to much

you can be off on the second number no more than two-two an a half, anymore then that and the bead wont seat. the third number has o be exact.

You can definitely put wider tires like 22x11 on your rims I put 26x12x12 on a rim that had 23x8x12 on it

Definately.. Look into these http://specialtytirestore.com/mud-shark.htm They dont make them anymore so you gotta find them but there good ones.. They are on a mower I'm gettin ready to buy and it does good.

I would use the knobby tires, they work good for off roading, they have some grip but not too much.  So if you were to go up a hill and get stuck they will spin before they grab and flip you over.

there is 2 ways to look at that.. yes they keep you from flippin but if you had better tires would you of made it?

Hmmm I never thought of it that way. lol .

Me personally, i would try out a set of ag tires. Trying to get a set and im not sure how they preform but ive heard they are great in a mud hole.

I wanna try ag tires. Im running 18" dunlops. Might put them in the front if i get 20" ag's

Figure they would be beast and eat through mud

I found some on ebay already on rims for I think 140$ but it was a while ago. I want 20's

I got 5 lug 23 inch rims im gonna get some ags for

Ah. Ok. Make sure they are deep lugs on the ags for better ground and mud penetration
