What's a good drag tire to run for hard/medium packed dirt drags and field drags? I have brand new mud sharks for trails but gonna buy a seperate pair of rear rims and tires for drag only. Also probably gonna get a seperate swinger (stock and extend it or custom fabbed extended +4 or +6). To run a drag strut would I need a new upper shock mount or just change the lower with my drag only swinger?

Pro wedges is what a ton of guys run at the strip I frequent most. Do they not produce them anymore or what?

Cunningham what about these Maxxis 4 snow tires look just like the pro wedges.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 06, 2013, 12:36:58 pm »

Or these ams zipper tires? Cheaper than the Maxxis but same tread pattern basically.

prowedges are a honda oem tire. try your local honda dealer for them.

Ohtsu is the manufacturer

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 06, 2013, 05:42:37 pm »

The pro wedges are hard to find they have the same tread pattern as the Maxxis 4 snow and the ams zipper.

GrkGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** May 06, 2013, 05:54:33 pm »

yeah they are almost the same the pro wedges just hook up way better. i went riding with a few guys last year
and they were on 2 strokes and had the pro wedges on and i was on a 4x4 quad, and they climbed more hills then mw

I'm having Jason check on some pro wedge 2's apparently they don't make pro wedge 1's anymore but the 2's are just as good supposedly.

GrkGuy · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2013, 07:23:50 pm »

yeah so they say, just like the V2 vs the V3's

Cunningham_821 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 06, 2013, 08:17:04 pm »

4snows are ok nothing like wedges tho. i have a brand new pair that i never use they get way sketchy at 90mph. btw im pretty positive ohtsu stopped production on the wedges 1&2 if u find a pair of 1s save ure money they arent very good they are pretty close to 4 snows but actually i think snows are better than the 1's ive heard a guy say he ran 2 10th faster by doing nothing but swap out 4 snows for wedge2's.

I was talking about shocks or struts like the ones pictured here.

El Diablo · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2013, 11:52:09 am »

What about Realtors? Or are they too heavy?

Cunningham_821 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2013, 01:34:16 pm »

Realators suck. and thats my bike in the pic them are marvin shaws. when i had shaws on my stock bike i took shocks off and put bike jack under frame lower it till you get the height you want and measure eye to eye. i ran a stock swinger and a laegers +4 both using the link setup and it worked fine. Pretty sure i used 12 1/2-13"comp on back and the ones on my bike now on front are 13" (i think) comps they worked with stock a arms too.

They only posative I can say about the Realators is you will never ever ever ever wear those things out.

Whatever you can find they stopped making them also.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2013, 03:24:40 pm »

My local Honda dealer hasn't heard of pro wedge 1's or 2's. Does anyone know what model if Honda they came on?

Dezsled · « **Reply #23 on:** May 08, 2013, 03:48:53 pm »

Iirc the pro wedge was listed in the hondaline catalog.

08620-95800AT?
08620-HA500?

Google shows they are still for sale?

Cunningham_821 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:03:58 pm »
