Tires?

[Jack45]

I have a GS450LT and the tire sizes specified are:

Front: 3.00S18-4PR
Rear: 3.50S18-4PR

How does that convert into standard measurments?

Or I should just say, what tires would you guys recommend? Any good online stores to buy from?

The tires fight is hard, because people are always partial to them...

Check out www.traxmotorsports.com they have a good selection of tires, and even have stuff in your sizes...make sure its a Bias ply tire....

I see a 3.50-18 Front but not rear and no 3.00-18 at all?

for the front: 100-90-18 and for the back 110-90-18 should work...earlfor can step in here and correct me though...

(basically any tires in that size should work)

Whats the advantage in using a bias ply tire? What I've read about it is that they give a better ride on the trail but are bad as far as wear and milage.
