Default Lakota needs new tires ??????????

Please help me decide! Ride alot in the woods (do not want to lose ground clearance). Ride alot on home-made track with jumps. I want a tire with a smooth ride also. Any opinions on style and size would be appreicated.

If you want to keep the ground clearance I would stick to the stock size. However, I think the 20" maybe a better choice. As far as which tire, I would look real closely at the Razr's. These will be my next tires.

Why 20" ?. How much ground clearance will I lose with a 20" tire.

Right around an inch. 20" are much lighter. Less rotating mass allows the engine to apply more power. 20" will also give you slightly better acceleration being a smaller diameter. Although, you may lose a little bit of top speed. And, to top it all off, 20" will give you a little better handling in the corners.
