try some turf tamers. any other 18 inch tire are made for mx and will wear down fast used in trails and stuff.

what will you be using them for is the big question i mean if your just doing dougnuts or are you riding trails what that will help alot. theres not alot of 18" tires that arnt for mx

I like Kendas and Razr's but any tires will wear down if all you do is donuts, it justy happens

ok...insight on tires....just about every last set of 18's are made for mx these days....if you want the torque of 18's...then change your sprockets and run some stock 400ex rear tires pretty good tires for that kinda riding

he could try some flattrack tires if all he wants to do are doughnuts and stuff like that. they will wear down but he could et a hard compound and they wont grab like treaded tires

get 18" fast fast trekers, I had a set on my 250r quad and it slid all over the place, now I use kenda klaws on my atc330r and they hook up good and slide when you want them to. Use the fast trekkers if you just want to be able to slide well, they suck for very well controlled slides and are nowhere near the standard for forward traction.

thats what i was talking about flattrack tires. what kind of riding are you doing. that will help alot with your tire choice
