Default Tires for yerf3206

hi everyone ,

i have rear tireS that are the size 20 x 10.00 -8 rear.they are super turf but i want to get knobby tires. also the front are 15 x 6.00 -6 front,which i would also like to get knobby tires.. prob i am having is i am not finding that size with the tire being knobby. the sizes i see are always a number off .my buggy still has the original tires on it but maybe someone can give me some help on this one.. i know the tires read 20" inch for height 10" for width and 8" inch is size of rim.. seems most i find are 22 x 11 -8... and will 11 be to wide and hit frame.
please let me know.. also are they easy to exchange on the rim or do i need a special tool or will some screws drivers work...

Hey CobraHma;

I bought a set of 22x10-8 Kenda Scorpion's from Rockymountainatv.com for a fair price. The would just be a little taller than your stock tires. I also got a set of stock 22x11-8 Kenda Dominators from BMI on clearance and they mounted to the stock axle without any problems. I don't think BMI still has them on clearance though. For the fronts I installed new hubs and went with larger tires & rims. Good luck with your search.

So the 22 x 11 - 8 will fit on same rim as the one i have the 20 x 10 -6 doesn't the rim have to be 11 wide also or no.. Or its just the tire itself on the outer part that is bigger and the inner rind of tire is still 10?

As a rule of thumb , you can use an aftermarket tire up to two inches wider in tread width that the wheel width. IE: a 22x10-8 tire will work on a 8x8 wheel.
Here's a handy little chart that helps me get it sorted out.

hey guys .. i need help with this one .. not sure if this is even possible to do..here is the situation...i have stock wheels on my yerf 3206 which i am asuming the wheel hubs are also stock. i was given 2 free rims with tires on them which the tires are 22 x 10-10, the center hole on the rim is about 4 3/8's and from bolt to bolt crossing over center hole in rim its about 5 3/8's..... is there any way to add a hub that coverts from the orignal yerf hub size to that bigger sized rim.. been on bmi cart website . but i can't figure out if what they have is what i can use for this conversion...

measure it in millimeters. they're probably 136mm. the yerfs are 110 mm iirc. Then look on e-bay etc for an adapter using the search term "hub adapter 110mm to XXXmm" (New rims bolt pattern).

you need measure bolt center to bolt center on the diagonal at the middle of the bolt holes on the "new" rims.
This site has a variety of adapters, but you have to make sure you've got the measurement correct. The thickness of the adapter will widen the front wheel track width and provide more clearance between the tire and frame. The Spiderbox guys here will know just how wide and tall of a tire you can go up with up front. I'm not sure on those particular numbers. Search the forums here using "spiderbox front tire clearance" or similar terms and you should find hte info.
