alright guys, i got big *** 22s on my 300ex right now that are balder then crap. i was wondering what would be better, 18s or 20s? i mainly ride packed trails and gravel pits. so alot of hill climbing and winding trails. thanks much... your opinions are helpful!

20's are deluxe, good alround tire, better then balloons on the 300ex. and id prolly keep stock gearing since u say hill climbing n chit

20s is what your lookin for. 18s are used mainly for only mx racing.

welll as a joke i took the 18's off my 400ex and slapped them on my old 300ex and rode it...it had NOTHING for topend i swear i was 5th gear pinned in about 50 yards.....going from a 22 to a 20 on a 300ex will be great

if you want to go to 18s for a 300ex your really going to have to regear just to get some topend back to keep you from f-ing your motor up...because being pinned like that all the time is horrible...i mean i was going thru the gears so fast on my 300ex it was like ridding a 2 stroke
