:idea: Alright all you opinionated induviduals need some 2 cents worth advice . Am going to put some fresh rubber on the toy , problem is that there are so many tire types and size seems to be the problem . Stock rear is 22 (tall) x10 (rim)x 10 (wide) have already seen thread that says we can go wider and the clearance will be adequate . Heres my dilema can I go to a taller tire say a 23X10x10 as an example ? Clearance should be there Bout all I can actually do is shred my bent and twisted fenders more . So what ! Can we also gain a bit on top end as far as some speed ? That way I can crash even faster =D> The tire sizes OEM are tough to match so if we have clearace can we cram on somthig a wee bit larger ?What say knaves :flame

It would be good to put your buggy in your signature line so we know exactly which one you are talking about :)

Had to reach way back for this nugget:

A couple extreme examples of what you can do with big tires.

You might want to go with lights. Alot of the speed you hope to pick up will be lost because of the higher rolling mass or weight of the larger tires.
Just my two cents. :D
