Light weight tires????

[diesel-mech]

Does anyone know of a chart to compair tire size vs weight? I need to drop some weight from my fat fuckin tecate. I am running the old style holeshots 20x11x10 rear and 21x7x10 fronts. I was hoping to find 18x11x10 turf tamers for the rear but I don't think they make that size, I don't want fasttrekkers because I hate the way they handle. I have a full set of champion beadlocks on it now but they may have to go to cut weight.

Are you trying to free up weight for drag racing or something? What are you gonna be doing with the quad mostly?

I doubt 15 pounds matters

I need to get it more manuverable and easier to ride on an MX track. I'm not planning on it being a full time mx quad I just want it to handle like one, power isn't a real issue, its got alot of power and I know what I can do to make it even better, I'm just lazy and I don't want to work real hard to get this fat bastard around the local tracks. I'm going to lighten the flywheel so I build power quicker, lighter tires will also help that part too but when its in the air if just feels heavy you know? Also 15lbs would make a huge difference in the feel of the quad.

Less rotating mass is always better...

The ITP MXR4's seem to be pretty light weight and they hook pretty damm good imo...

I can get thoughs in 19x11x10, I was considering a set but I wanted to know what the actual weight was. I'm basically trying to find the lightest tire I can but not give up traction. I've got a set of 10x6x10 holeshot MX's for the front already.

They each weigh 9.95 lb's...Not to bad IMO...

I think I weighed a set of older holeshot 20x11x10 on T-9 wheels and they weigh 18.5 lbs or maybe it was 22.5 lbs I don't remember for sure.

sell your champions and buy a set of Hiper performance carbon fibers...those things are pimp and would probably shave a couple pounds, and get the lightest thinnest tires you can, something like a Dunlop like what comes factory on 400EX's, if they make those in 10 inch wheel fitments. My buddy has those on his shee and they hook fuckin hard.
