ATV tire questions

that the rear tires should be 22x10-10
I have found some tires locally called Super Swampers
but they only have sizes 23x10-10 and 22x9-10.
The Super Swampers have a inch of tread. I was warned by
a guy that maybe that is too much tread and maybe the bearings
will go bad if I have that much tread.
Is that true? Has anyone seen this caused by a tire?
Also,
out of those two tire sizes i can get, which is better for
riding primarily on logging roads and through woods.

Not true, get a different friend.

The one thing that bothers me is you sound like you've never heard of Swampers.
They're the best mud tire ever made for both ATVs and trucks. Check to make
sure you've got enough clearance in the front fenders when you turn the
handlebars. If they look like they'll fit ( I'm sure they will) go get the
23x10-10, you wont be dissapointed.
>riding primarily on logging roads and through woods.
The swampers are awsome in mud, dirt, snow, or just about anything else. By
logging roads do you mean paved or dirt roads? No ATV tire will last forever
on the pavement, but on dirt roads they'll hold up pretty good.

timberwolf soon. Whether the size is due to more tread, or just an
overall bigger tire, it will wear out bearings faster. The larger the
tires, the more leverage the bumps/logs can get on your axle and
drivetrain. This causes more stress in the bearings, which will wear
them out quicker, despite what everyone else says. However, the debate
should be around how much quicker. On a good set of bearings, the
difference in bearing wear should be negligible. If the bearings in
your Twolf are in good shape, they won't just "go bad". A few hundred
miles down the road you may begin to see some loosening of the rear
end, and this is when you must replace the bearings (don't wait till
the races have been ovalized by wear). If however you are starting on
fairly worn bearings already, you may run into bearing problems real
quick. BTW, the leverage increases by 4.5%.
