You could run a Maxxis Razr, But the compound of the tires is gonna be selected by the conditions of the track. If you dont ride the tracks to much i would say get a harder compound tire so it will last longer.

The track i usually ride on is loose/hard packed. Do the Kendas klaws come in an 18 for the rear? idk im leaning towards ITP mxr 6's but for the front i wanna go with kendas. Any other suggestions?

the cool thing about the kenda's is you can reverse the rears for loose or run em regular for hardpack..and yes they do come in 18x10.5's for either 8 or 9 inch wheels

I have a pair of kenda klaw rears 18X10.5X9 so they will fit on your stock wheels. Like mentioned above, they can be reversed for hard pack or loose terrain. They are in great shape with plenty of tread left (>80%). Please reference the thread below and let me know if you are interested.

No, not ANY 18. When looking at tires there are 3 numbers to consider, as I posted above. Tire height X Tire width X Rim Diameter. Stock rims are 9 inch diameter.

EDITED for Clarity :)

I'm partial to Maxxis, so I'd say the Razr MX, Razr iMX, or the Razr Cross.

Sorry if my post was confusing. You can run any 18" tire that fits on a 9" rim, meaning, the last of the three numbers is a 9.

I was leaning towards IRazrs but ended up ordering the Kenda XCR's I havent gotten them yet but is there any difference between those and the MX's?
