It seems to me that the wide tires, if properly inflated, would not adversely or significantly cause an increased load to the engine, unless they were underinflated. I would just look for clearance issues on the fork and other parts of the frame and mud guards.

In the 1980s, when all terrain bicycles were introduced with 'fat' tires, increased traction on roads compared to their skinny tire race bike counterparts was enjoyed by the masses (Mountain bikes vs. racing bikes).

I think that on a motorcycles, the same would apply.

I don't think the K&N filter would significantly increase pickup, despite advertising to the opposite. Just use standard air filters.

Good luck on modifying your bike to your 'dream machine.'

I have a 1989 Polaris Scrambler 400 4x4 with 22x11-10 itp mud Lite on the back of it is it ok to put 23x8-10 on the front of it because it should have bigger tires on the front stock

Technically yes you can, HOWEVER!! The 23x8's are taller, thinner tyres so they might affect your speedo reading and handling if they are not a standard Polaris size. The front end will also ride a tiny bit higher than the rear end. If you haven't got the original handbook try contacting Polaris directly or a dealer with your vehicles details and ask them what sizes are recommended for your ATV.
ATV tyre sizes translate as follows... a 23x8-10 tyre will be-
= 23 inches in diameter measured all the way across the widest part of the whole tyre.
= 8 inches across the width of the tread of the tyre.
= 10 inch diameter of the actual wheel rim.
22x11-10 is 22 inches tall, 11 inches wide on a 10 inch rim.
23x8-10 is 23 inches tall, 8 inches wide on a 10 inch rim.

I have a 2006 tuscan with 27000 miles on clock.changed front tyres recently but they keep going down.went back to tyre shop & was told due to alloy paint coming off wheel, it is not allowing new tyre...

Doesn't sound right, unless wheel is damaged bent/cracked. A cheap fix would be "fix a flat" (sealer in a can) in each tire just as a safety precaution. Also check your tire valves sometimes tire shops don't get the valve cores tight.

Jaguar x type 19" alloy wheel upgrade but rear wheels rub on arch

I really don't think you will be able to use those rims and tires, probably the biggest is going to be 18" wheels. The 8.5" rim is too wide. An 18" came as the stock size on the sport package for the Jag, it's 7.5 wide. I don't think who sold them to you really knew if they would fit or not. Without wheel spaces and raising the suspension, I don't think they'll work on the car.

17in alloys wheels makes strange sound

what design are they, two thing could be doing it, if the obviouse touching has already been investigated, one is the design, if the spokes/hub sits out further than the rim than the outer of the rim they could be catching the wind and making some freaky noises, or if the center dishes in then maybe they are "loud" tyres by that i mean do the tyres have wide grooves, directional etc, high performance tyres are in principle very noisy. hope this has been handy.

Yamaha sr 125 how much air should i pump to rear and front tyres

Hi!
You are asking a sensible question and obviously are concerned and rightly so for your safety and others plus tyre wea.
Good on you!
However it depends on load,circumstances, conditions and the type of tyres/compound you have.
So as a rule of thumb, 28/30 front normal conditions rider only short journeys, 30/32 rear normal 2 riders +- 2psi for loads and long runs.

Tyres and pressures

The Cali' Special tyre pressures:- --------------- 1 RIDER.---------------------- 2 RIDERS Front ...... 2.3 Bar(33.5psi) ................... 2.3Bar(33.5psi) Rear ....... 2.5Bar(36.3psi) .................... 2.9Bar(42psi) I use BT45's on mine but I have the ordinary tubed rims. I find the ride harsh but this may be down to suspension rather than tyres. People recommend running the BT45 at a slightly higher pressure than the book. I got 8500 miles from the front and 4700 from the rear. Although the rear was changed slightly early due to a puncture. I will probably try a different make next time.
