Titan turf tamers, 18-11-8 I get them 30% off at my local dealer but I believe they retail for about 35 bucks a tire. I reccomend running them on 8 inch beadlocks and for motocross track racing/riding only.

If your going to be Riding Trails you may want a Tire that has a higher Ply Rating.

no they do not work to well for trails because they will get packed up in mud and turn into slicks. plus they 18s are kinda small for trails

that is the last thing you want to do is groove them that makes the ear faster than they already do the only reason i would do that is if i was racing MX
