Middleboro is sandy right? If so don't get the quadcross tires. They were designed for hardpack so idk how they'll work in sand.

i been running quadcross since i got the kfx. the rears seem to wonder around. i rode sand pits. hard tracks. and really soft tracks. there good on the hard pack but the soft you dont go any where. if i was u mxr6 rear and quadcross fronts. they hook up so amazing<3. the fronts are the best fronts ive rode. and mxr6 are the best rears...

Quadcross fronts and mxr6 backs sound good!!! i'll end up doing that i bet!!! what sizes do you suggest.....i'm keeping stock front end and stuff so i want a little bit smaller of tires to make it a little lowers to the ground.....and what offset for the back would be good....(i'm buyin hipers) the fronts i'm gettn 3+2 offset, but the back idk yet....i'd want them to match up with the front!!!...

im in the same boat as you, im narrowing toward kenda knarly/ klaws or razr for the rears and likely razrs for the fronts and im gonna keep the rears at stock size but im thinking about going 1 size up for the fronts but im not sure if theres any benefits with it? (like turning or handling wise)

It does have traction problems according to dirtwheels......but they say to drop one tooth on the rear sprocket and the problem is solved.....i'm prolly just gunna get the t-moly(lifetime guarentee chaing and sprokets).....i just hope the kfx rips!!

oh i think youll sleep easy not worrying about the ripping part, thats just dw wanting to dump on sombody so why not the kawi guys...critics set em up...we knock em down, anyway im just pointing out how we all know changing the sprockets/ rear tires will offer whatever change in any quad for your needs and stock size on back suits me fine for now, however we dont hear much about front tire size changes making a difference (if it even does)
