Looking for input for a set of front and rear tires for my sons kfx80. He races enduro and mx. What would be a good choice from peoples experience. Would like to stay with the 18x6.5x8 rear and a 19x6x10 front but not sure if the tire will clear the ac nerfs on it. I have widened the front of it by 5 inches each side in front so may or may not be an issue. Like the holeshots but keep hearing that they are case breakers.

It's hard to find a 6.5 rears these days.
I picked up a LT with the 10" (wheel size) front tires. They fit fine.
If you used spacers to widen, maybe not.

No wheel spacers up front just widened a arms. The stockers aired up hard come within @ an inch of the nerfs when turning side to side. How about the maxxis razr mx tires, any good?

So after still looking I have decided to go with a little wider rear tire. I have it narrowed down to the Maxxis M940 18x9x8 or the Itp Quadcross Mx Pro 18x8x8. Anyone using any of these 2 tires? Have rear that the Maxxis if very light but a bit bouncy. Have not heard much of the Itp except that they are harder. Both are supposed to offer good traction. Any input on these?
