you will be amazed at the low end power you pick up going down to the 18 in tires.Ilove it.Especially with pipe and jets.

At Lorretta Lynn GNC one year it was muddy., I ran my 20" tires. The big guy from Maxxis tires said I had alot of guts running 20" tires in MX.
Yes 18" tires are better for MX [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I run 18inch tires and since it lowers your center of gravety you can run alot faster laps. Especially since i had a blaster and needed little tires or i dident have enought power to move..... But no matter what tires you get LET-R-EAT!!!

Of course, you just need to get an 18 inch with a 9 inch diameter. Those are a little harder to find, most are on 8 inch wheels.

Thanks dog, when my holeshots wear down, I think I will get 18s all around, or is it better to get 18s only in the back?
