I ride trails and am planning on doing mx. Im interested in the ITP MXR4 18" tires for rear and ITP MX 20" tires for front. For wheels I am looking into the c-series wheels, but have heard they are weak? So if they are weak I will go with the Douglas .190 wheels. Anyways, my questions are....

1) What would be a good tire sizes for front and rear for my type of riding?

2) What brand do you prefer? And what type of tire?

3) What wheels do you prefer?

Thanks for your help.

Klaws on hyper or omf beadlocks... or at least if you get the .190 rim get a race ring.. regular .190's fold up like play-do on the big jumps...

holeshot or razrs on ITP bajas. The rims are like $90 a pop but they are really strong for hitting rocks and jumping.

if you trail ride, i would go with 20" for the rear and 21" up front. i like the Knarly rear, Klaw front combo. for wheels i like factory honda, but also like the ITP T-9 race wheel or OMF beadlock. just depends on which route you want to go.

is 20" used for trail riding? Also is 18" for mx becuase I have OEM which is 20" so im thinking 18" is really small. What is 18" tires used for? And should I get that size?

Holeshots or razrs are both a great choice. If your gona do just mx the 18 is great but for trail ridin its much nicer to have 20's just to get that extra ground clearance.

Since i plan on riding mx and ride trails, would getting ITP MXR4 19x10x9 tires be a good choice for both mx and trail since the size is between 18" and 20"? Also would this be ok if I put these tires on my OEM wheels, then later putting them on different wheels?

This is probably a stupid question but here it goes...I was looking for tires (not the tire and wheel package) on rockymountainatv and I was wondering when you order the tire does it come with two? Im not talking about the tire and wheel package just the tire by itself...does it come with two tires for 59.94?

Thanks for your help!
