alright, just about to order my tires, sending out the money tommorow, going with kenda klaw 20x11x8 for my 300ex. my mods motor wise are full big gun exhaust, k&n w/no lid and jetted..

right now im geared 13/39 on 22s :rolleyes: but im going to a 20" rear, my riding is usually trails, pits, and some high speed runs, some of my friends say keep gearing, other say go to a 14t front. what do you guys say? thanks much!!! and sorry, i know similar questions like this have been asked before, just couldnt find anything for my particular needs in search.

If you don't plan on buying new wheels, you want 20X11X9 not 8's when I went to 20's I kept the stock gearing, felt great in the woods.

I am running 20" Knarly's with stock gearing and I think it's great for tight trails. I like the low end torque which also helps when climbing a hill. If you ride higher speeds I would go with the 14T though. You'll just have to trim or remove your case saver.
