My rear tire shoulda been changed two months ago. Now the knobbies are down to 1/4".
I'll be ordering a Maxxis Desert IT to replace it (and putting a Maxxis Cross SI in the front because that's what's hanging in my garage).
My current tire is a 110-100-18. They say the taller sidewall makes up for the stiffer sidewall of the Maxxis line.
Given my RB-carb-Boysen-squish modded motor and my 13/50 sprockets, and that I ride way more sand wash than I'd like, what is the largest rear tire you'd put on the back of my bike?
I'm more concerned with width than height...
110-110? 110-120?
And while we're at it, where's the best price on Maxxis? I keep seeing $65+, but I recall seeing them in the $50s before.
Thanks,
Rick

What about getting a wider tire? 110 or 120?
Where do you get Maxxis Dez ITs for $60? My local KTM shop has them for $65. The internet sites have them for $65 to $70.

americanmototire.com has them for $50 - $55 + shipping based on your location. I had good luck with this place -- but I've only bought 1 set from them so far.
Sorry, can't help with the other question. I'm running 110/100.
