Default 22" or 21" fronts?

Which size is best on front for cross country racing?? Is the extra clearance worth the loss in handling? What's the difference?

I always liked 21's. 22's just look to bulky and tall.

A six ply 21 would work fine.

Too much shoulder roll with the 22" And the 23's on my friends quad.......forget about it...... Completely worthless. Heck if it wasn't for the rims getting busted up I'd go back to 20"

Yep!!! Goin with a taller tire is not good unless you don't care about handling.

I've always liked 22s no real reason why i guess cause Hondas came stock like that. I've had 23s before but that was a bit much.

itp has a wholeshot mx front at 19x6x10 and a 20, you can go small if you keep a higher front tire pressure and stronger rims

22'' up front, 20'' in back for cross country or xc. If the 22'' is a 6 ply tire there is not much side roll, I know its less than the stock 21'' 2 ply tire. It's a great combo.
