I've managed to break a front wheel on my v3 Kraton. The rubber has a hole of about 1x1 cm and you can see the white filling through it, so I need to replace it.
The most logical solution would be a pair of stock dBoots Minokawa, however dBoots tires are next to impossible to find in Europe right now. That rules out the next best choice, the Backflips.
I only run the Kraton off road (dirt, mud, grass, hopefully snow soon), so I don't care about asphalt/tarmac performance.
I want to keep two of the Minokawas and replace the other two with another set. I will run 100k oil in the center diff.
So, I have a few ideas of where to go from here.
1) Buy tires only (no wheels) and glue them on the stock wheels: are there any options for this ? Any ok+ tires that will fit and not come glued to their own wheels ?
2) Buy a pair of Badlands/Trenchers and run them with the Minokawas.
Which ones whould I choose ? 149mm Badlands ? 176mm Badlands MX38 ? 165mm Trenchers ? 175mm Trenchers ?
The Minokawas are 165mm.
Will the Kraton run poorly with different size tires ? Will it cook the diff ? Anything else that's bad and I'm missing ?
3) Spring for a full set of 4 new tires - which would be the best route for off-road ? Badlands/Trenchers, and what size ?
What would be the best choice from the above ?
