Got a manco dingo 285, I think, its got a 22x11-8 tire on the back now. I'm trying to find a sawtooth style tire to go on here in that size it doesn't really seem to b an option. I found turf tires by Carlisle that are close.

Am I stuck with the 22x11-8 knobby's? I figure I can go slightly larger like a 23 or maybe get away with a 22x10 but I'm stuck with the 8in wheel and that seems to be my limiting factor.

I am not too sure where you could get, bu just remember the larger you go, the worse your gear ratio will become (theoretically speaking)

Thanks for the reply.

I dont plan on going any larger, as the back tires are already pretty big. Its next to impossible to find any kind of other tire besides knobby for the back wheel.

The back tire is currently 22x11-8, and the front is 145/70-6(15x6-6?), could I replace them with 20x10-8 and 13x5-6 respectively? This would just lower my ride height down an inch and change the gearing slightly?

And are Duro Turf saver/lawnmower wheels even an option? I plan to do most of my riding on the asphalt.
