opinion!!!
 
So I have this crazy vision of yz 250 dirt bike tires on my buggy.....I'm thinking kick ass in the mud look cool as hell and give it a defenent lift!! All I have to do is fab up some hubs. Lol...and yes I'm sure I'll loose turning radius......anyone try this before??:cool:

Sounds crazy.... Loose traction with less surface area.

buggydadCt 09-04-2014 07:09 PM

You think so because all the swamp buggies have really skinny tires I've noticed... I'm sure I'll lose traction on the trails and hills but I'll definitely gained it in the mud huh

buggydadCt 09-04-2014 07:09 PM

Either way I think I'm definitely going to do it cuz I can always just take them tires off and put the other ones back on... I'll start a thread when I get the project going and posted by step pictures just in case anybody else out there is as crazy as I am

I'm trying to picture that.I'm pretty sure that would be a wild looking build. but far as the handling i don't no how that's gonna work out but the look would be odd. try it out and see what you get

Yup!! I don't know but try it out and let us know... video's please...

trying to recall the user name, but a skinny tires are a very common setup in the uk and a uk member has some vides here of his and his buddies rides. IIRC, you'll also find some pictures in one of the photo contests here.

Lol. I stoped by the local cycle club and picked out 4 today....I ended up going with a set to a ktm...they were considerably bigger....I'm stoked to start. This project and will document every step the video will come last at the first test run lol....do you guys think if I lengthened the a arms I would gain handling?....

Miamieddie 09-05-2014 08:52 PM

Not familiar with this type of set up.. but I know by widening will give you more stability not sure about handling.
