Knowing if you ride a tricycle or a 1967 harly sporster would be nice..:eek: what kinda quad you talkin about here?:confused:

and unless you have a death wish...i'd keep the 18 tires off the trails and don't even think about racin XC with them..

sounds like you need a good 20 inch rear tire for all applications.. Look into Kenda's new klaw tire...price is great and I'm seein more and more pro's using them..:cool:

Definately 20" for XC
I think stock gearing works best.
The 18" MX should increase your low end. Try a 14 tooth on the front if you want more for MX.

Running 18 rears i've found stock gearing and a 36 tooth on the rear to be the best.. I tried a 14 up front and you will loose 1st gear completely with this setup..I didn't care for it at all...

15/36 for MX

and stock for XC

so a 14 tooth front sprocket is not good with 18 inch tires on a stock bike??
