Im looking for some new tires for my atv but cant find much. I have an 88 lt-f250 but i dont know what all the numbers mean. I drive mostly on road but quite abit on a farm. What are my options
well unfortunally ya dont have many options available for a old suzuki ! they come with 22- 8 -10 fronts and 25 -12-10 in rear and with the 4wheel drive ya have to stay within specs of that size ! the first number is how tall the tire is the second number is how wide the tire is and the last is rim size ! I looked all over for tires for mine I wound up buying interco swamp lites Ibought for fronts 23 8 10 and i bought 25 11 10 for rear got them from motox the 23 in front just clear the fender but did fit they dont make 25 12 10 so I went with the 25 11 10 but they measure out to 26 tall in rear and the fronts are actually 23 spent 350 total with mounting and all ! i have a few pics of mine with the tires on it in my profile hope this helps!
I wouldn't go any wider then an extra inch from the stock size for the front as you can have interference issues with the steering knuckle etc. As for height you can usually go up a size without much problem, though you may lose a bit of top end if you do so. Any bigger tires then you will probably encounter rubbing issues with fenders etc.
Also, a heavier ply tire will cause it to ride rougher which would be fine on a modern ATV becasue they ride so smooth but if you have fillings they'll get knocked loose on that beast if you went with 6 ply tires.
