So in another post I was trying to get new wheels & tires and stay at the stock width in the rear. This doesn't seem feasible (at least in a cost effective manner).
Anyway - I think I may just look for a used trailer that's a bit wider then my 4x8 trailer.
So - without the width restriction of the trailer - I'm gonna look at wheel/tire combos
First: Which do people like better - steel or aluminum? I am looking at either the ITP Delta Steel or the ITP aluminum wheels (haven't decided on a favorite; SS212, SS312, SS316, Hurricane). I do hit a fair amount of large rocks on the trails I ride - that's what bent up my stock wheels.
Second: Thinking of trying the Bearclaw HTR. What size is recommended? I was thinking 25-8-12 on the front and 25-10-12 on the rear. Going to a 26" adds a fair amount of weight (and the Bearclaw HTR are already ~5lbs/tire heavier then stock) - not sure I need a taller tire, but wanted to see what others thought - or why they prefer a larger tire.
Lastly: Where is the best place to by a wheel/tire combo that offer the ITP wheels and Bearclaw HTR?
Considerations: My riding is in Maine. Primarily on rocky trails - not much on open dirt. I do hit mud - but don't spend a lot of time in it - just what I need to get through on the trail. I also want something that is good in snow as I do take my machine on the lake to go ice fishing.
