What size tires would work best on an 01 300ex.I was thinking 18 or 20 i dont really want 18 cause i dont want to loose alot of top end.

Mostly trails bu i also ride a track bout once or twice a week near my house. The reason i say i dont want to loose top speed is i rie on a road sometimes and need to keep up with traffic

I just got 20 rear razrs, and 21's in the front. I love em! It handles a lot better without those balloon tires, lower center of gravity. Plus it looks a lot cooler too. Go with the 20's the rear for sure, then if you want fronts, get 21's ;) And if you want to even the gearing back out, a 14t front sprocket will do it.

Here's the best side shots i got. They aren't real good, but i hope they help. I got 6ply. They seem to hold up real good and hook up real well.

My 400ex runs 20s and i find them great!! they can get me off the line great and they hall balls down the road. My friend runs 18s on his 400ex and i kill him top speed and off the line we are even because the tire is to small to get some bite. GO 20
