i was wondering the height of the 19 inch holeshot mx's were compared to stock tires? just curious. i am looking at a set of these because they are light and soft. my 20 inch aftermarket tires probably sit a good 1/2 inch taller than stock, if not more than that. if they don't sit around stock height, i will probably just go back to the stock tires.

I liked the 20 inch Kenda over the 19 Holeshot. The 19's were just too small..

Are you talking about front or rears? new for this year are 19inch REAR holeshots.

i am talking about the rears, i guess i could have mentioned that.

well, i need light tires. i know this helps because i noticed a loss when going with my 4 ply aftermarkets. i realize most people wouldn't want this. however, i only want 2 ply. they ride softer, smoother, and are lighter. my riding style is just different from many others. basically i am considering the 19 inch holeshots or the stock 400ex, 450r, yfz, etc tires. i didn't know how these 19 inch rears sat compared to stock (heightwise). i really don't care to go much, if any, shorter than stock.

I have the 18 inchers on all four and love them. I have never got a flat tire trail riding yet. They are very light and always stay planted.

more than likely i will try the 19 inch rear mx's out. i think they may last longer than stock, but maybe not.

I have sold a couple of sets of the 19" I noticed they were about a half inch taller than the 18" holeshots but I did not compare them to stock tires as for wear their not going to last longer than stock tires.

Holeshots last. LOL, thanks I needed a good laugh. Get Kenda Klaws, hook up great and last long.
