Default Xc racing tire size?

Just bought an ltr450 and am getting new wheels and rims for it. Stock tires are front 20x7-10 and rears are 18x10-18. Does any know if i should go any bigger or smaller on front or back?

For xc you need ground clearance. If you are looking at mud races especially bigger is better. 21" front and 20" rear would be my minimum. Look to something like the hole shot xct or similar for a little taller tire if you want. Handling suffers but then again handling is nill if you are high centered.

Awesome! I just ordered a 21" fronts and have 20"on rear. I was worried about having too much tire in the front but I think what I got will be good. I also went ahead and spent th money and got bead lock rims. 🤙🤙🤙
