dont get the razor 2s. get regular razors or kenda klaws. Great tires and a great price. 20 in rear and 21 fronts. This is a good all round size and get the 6 ply. As far a wheel go stock. Stock wheels are better than most aftermarket as long as they have rolled lips. If you go aftermarket make sure you get some with rolled lips. This is if you dont get beadlocks. just my .02 cents

the regular razrs are a good setup. i wouldn't go wtih the razr II's or the ITP HD's unless you need major puncture resistance and traction in muddy conditions. the stock wheels are good. do not get an aftermarket wheel unles they have rolled edges or you will be downgrading from your stock setup.

if you want the best traction and puncture resistance get HD's. Razr 2's are also good. if you dont need the best traction and want to slide a little better get some kenda claws.

I think 20" rear tires handle awefully. Good for traction and ground clearance in the trails. I prefer having a set of 18" and 20" rears and swap them as needed.

i think for agressive trail riding get a good 6 ply tire razar's and and kenda are really good for the money. ive had really good luck with the new itp gncc rears i have not tried the fronts yet. i also think one of the best whells for the money is the itp t-9 baja i really had good luck with these wheels. i ran them for two race seasons and they held up great so they should handle trail riding like a champ. thats my $.02 worth anyway
