Title: MX Tire question....someone please advise that knows for sure!
Post by: MotoMike on November 03, 2005, 08:56:35 PM
Okay so here is the problem.  I bought all new Douglas Ultimate Billet Beadlocks from RMATV with Irazrs because I was thinking of getting into XC, but I really want to stick with MX.  So, the real problem is in the rear.  I have 9" rims.

What would be a better set up for the rear considering that will be running holeshot MX tires with 20x6x10's up front.

Would a 18" or 19" be better?

Thanks!
Mike

if you already have a 9 inch. rim go with the 19's you probabbly wont notice the difference from a 18 to a 19. i know a few people that run that set up and they seem to like it.

9inch rims on 18inch tires little to stiff of a side wall, makes for a stiffer ride kinda like a car with 22inch rims give a sucky ride you'll feel every bump in the road.
