I need input

Its time to buy tires for the boys pred 90. I am looking at the following, can someone give info both good and bad regarding the tires and the sizes. He races MX

Maxxis Razr MX 19x6x10 fronts
Maxxis Razr MX 18x10x8 Rears

or

Itp Holeshot Frt 19x6x10 Front
Itp Holeshot MXR4 18x10x8 Rear

So what do you think??

Just my opinion but depending on how serious you are about racing.... Those rears are too big to drag around the track. You would be better off with a skinnier tire in the rear. JMO

I had thought about that but didnt know if it was okay to mix tires front and rear, I didnt see any tires fropm thoose brands that were smaller for the rear, I would like smaller tires in the rear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Pappy is the man to ask. He seems to have them in stock and all sizes you may need.

It is fairly limited choice wise but it should get better next year I would think.

for the 2 strokes, a 19 inch front and a 18 inch rear snow hog seems to be the hot ticket for them for most MX and TT racing/riding

The Predator comes stock with a true 18 inch tire, and its wider (18x9x8) I believe is the stock size. The gearing is set for this tire and it works better for most trail and casual riding.
