I just got my 5% return from rocky mountain and im going to buy some itp mx front tires that are 20". If i run 20" front tires with 20" rears am i going to see any weird handling issues when jumping? Should i just wait until i buy 18" rears or is it ok to run 20" front and back?

I think it would look goofy as h***. Generally you don't see high performance quads that have the same size tires or bigger rear tires.

it will probably cause handling issues. it is going to cause the front to sit lower than the rear (not good) the rear should generally be as low or slightly lower than the front of the quad. (measuring under the foot peg and under the a-arm mount)

my advice... do not get the same size front end rear tires. either get 21/22 inch front tires with 20 inch rears... or get 19/20 in front tires with 18 inch rears.

I run 20's on both end of my 250r, I got the full set of MX wheels and tires, 20 in front 18 in rears, and I just have a set of 20in rear razrs to run for the trails. I have only hit a small jump with them, and I didn't notice anything with the handling that is that bad.
