Tire size
I am running a 100/100-18 on the back and I feel like I am wasting a lot of power due to grip. My suspension is tuned in good and that helps but I feel like I need more rubber on the ground.
If you had a choice to date supermodels for the rest of your life or ride dirt bikes, would you choose a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke?

Re: Tire size
Tire choice is also very important. I have excellent results in south Alabama with Bridgestone M403 and M404 tires at 14 psi.

Re: Tire size
It came with a 2.15 rim, so you may want to give a 110/100-18 a try.

That's what I'm running with an MX 51. Good results so far......obviously throttle management is key as well.Jason wrote:It came with a 2.15 rim, so you may want to give a 110/100-18 a try.

Re: Tire size
It really depends on what you're riding on (hard pack, sand, mud, etc) and tire pressure, they have a huge impact on tire choice.
+1 you get a lot better traction when you're not spinning the wheel needlesslyB737driver wrote:......obviously throttle management is key as well.

Re: Tire size
Check out Kenda's Washougal and *crap I forgot the name of the other track they name tires after* tires. I run Washougals and love them, the Wash II should be even better with the dual compound and center rib that they are running on them now. I run a 100/100-18 in these, but they are a bit bigger than a standard 100/100. I put a 110/100 on my son's 220 and it seems to be just a tad big, but that is what I'm going with next.bone7615 wrote:i ride a lot of med pack and there is a lot of sand where I am at i run like 10 psi
