for the 350 I would say 25" maybe 26"max,I have 26" mudbugs on my Honda420 and love them up the 350 is a little smaller. as for tires mudbugs are porbaly the same money and a better mud tire IMO have had both and prefer the bugs.

i much appreciate it but im worried that they may be too big for my motor/ tranny. it is the same CC as your childs quad, but my quad is 20 years older. and im not sure that it can handle the extra strain. how much would you want for them, maybe i'll come have a look at them anyway and see just how much bigger they accualy are. plus it never hurts to meet new people:d

Hey Jerome, they should work fine on the old beast....If you don't like them I can find them a home.

No-Can-Do on this upcomming weekend, I'm in Flamer-ville for a Conference/Banquet....but the weekend after should be good, I'll PM you with my #

And seriously I think you should jump on those tires/rims if that red rubicon in my yard was mine and not my buddies I'd be buying them out from under ya....lol. I paid $50 a piece for my bearclaws (used, but new) and then had to have them installed by kevin @ rapid revolutions which was cheap but time consuming....so $400-ish for tires and rims is a deal.

Cheers,

Ian
