I wanna get a turf saver tire that fit but I cant find a 145x70x6. Will other sizes work? I'm wearing out the knobby tires WAY to fast!

You can use a Turfsaver 15x6-6.
That's what I have on mine. It will also give you more ground clearance :thumbsup:

I had a wrestling match with the new tire and the back rim today. Finally got it on and I love it. I can tell it's gonna last way longer.

Yeah, mine has held up pretty well. It's been taking a little bit of a beating lately... but it's been on for well over a year. Good luck

Thank you for the tip. My stockers seem to slip on any corners with those big open smooth spots. Real knobbies for this "kid".

I went with the knobbies from Tractor Supply and they sucked too. Go with the turf tire. Good all terrain tire.

turf tire goin from mud to anything else leaves it a slick till the mud is spun off. Everyone who rode my bike with the turf saver biffed at least once with the mud-slick effect. Just some fyi:thumbsup:

Exactly! Around here it's 100% greasy clay with no actual soil to speak of. Your boots go to a size 22 with the mud packed on.

OK OK Snow Hogs it is! lol

How do the snow hogs wear? My only concern is we mainly ride on street but when we want to ride in the dirt we need the right tire, the snow hogs are the right tire for dirt but will they hold up better than stock on the street?

I would say snow hogs would not be best if you ride mainly onroad. ANy tire will hold up better than the stock, its crappy rubber:hammer: I cant reccomend a good road tire

I thought about the Turf Saver mentioned before...don't do too much mudding so not worried about slick effect after you get out of the mud...any thoughts?

 

[Erok000]

I liked the turf savers on the road. They eeven did decent on trails and in the field, just not mud,sand . :hammer: Might be just right for you!

I just put the Carlisle turf saver 15-6-6 on my sons blitz and it rubs on the brake caliper. :shrug:Any suggestions?

This is exactly what I was afraid of...is this expected? Do you have to mod the brake caliper?

This is why I went with the 15-5-6...slightly narrower, but plenty of clearance even with a larger aftermarket hyd caliper.

Maybe you could shim the caliper with some small washers or grind a little off the back of it.

The snow hogs work great for me BTW, especially if you are looking for more traction off road: Carlisle Snow Hog Tires 5170081 - PowerSportsPlace.com

Any solution for the 15-6-6 fit? I really like the turf savers and want to go that route..but if they are going to rub don't want to deal with it!

you can get the 15-5-6 or shim your rotor and caliper out a bit.:grind::hammer:

Does anyone have any pics of the shim?
