the tires I have on it now are wearing thin... Finding a good tire in a 11" size on short notice is why I want to go with a 14" wheel... PLus the little wheel up front doesn't seem to do much but float up above the ground most times...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Quadboss ... 4cf4a9f8bdThis is what I am looking at getting for a wheel...
I will have to check clearances fist once I recieve these, then I will have
speedchaser make me an adapter plate... Much like rnrNick has on his triple eee
the wheels I am looking at are a Maxxis CERO with what I think will be a good tread pattern for both the front and the rear...
They make a 15" tire, so I won't have to hunt down a 14" rear wheel just yet...
On a Good not I spent the last couple of days testing the triple eee in Arizona... Worst issue is still have a bleeding tranny... The seal behind the clutch (one replaced by Brooks) is leaking again... there is also a leak from in front where the shift handle goes thru the cases... Hopefully just a seal???
I have added more rebound on the rear by setting them up on the 6th notch from all in... at 8 it was too bucky for me... I have bottomed this out only one or two times on the rear thick skid plate... I am hoping it is as easy as replacing the old rubber bump stops on the shocks... Soon to come off and go for a recharge and fresh oil...
Handle much better than I expected in the turns... tight turns takes a well planned tap of the breaks and I just sling right thru the ruff stull like I was on rails...
In the sandy washes the tires I have are useless... they just don't seem to have enough bite to pull me to the top... seems I was sinking the whole time...
I think I have most of the bugs worked out...
Need to find a low tewmp fan switch... The water temp off the head gets in the 200's real easy, but I am unsure of if this is the oem position for the temp switch, or if the fan switch went into this orifice???
I might have to route the fancy auto meter liquid filled temp gauge to the radiator... and find a fan switch that works off the head???
This thing is fun to drive...

Yea the wheels look like a douglas, and the 489's are all I could find in an 11" tire! What's on there now don't have much left either! The 489's are only a 2 or 4 ply! I haven't talked to douglas yet about the cost, but the hole pattern is a common golf cart pattern! The 15" rears will have to last awhile lol it is hard to find a good tread pattern in such a low profile!
Why do you need new front wheels? Or do you just want spares?
The
Titan 489XT tires are 6 ply. There are several sizes for 11" wheels. I wouldn't say they are an awesome tire but they do work well and have proven to be pretty durable for me, no flats with them yet. Other tires also available in 11" sizes that I have considered before are
ITP MudLites...
Kenda Bearclaws and
Kenda Bear Claw EX...
GBC DirtDevil and DirtDevil II...probably lots more.
