I am going to run MX this year and would like to know what size MX tires are you running?

Rears;
8" rims or 10" rims? I am planning on 8" rims with 18" holeshots.
How much air pressure are you running (non-beedlock)?

Fronts:
19" or 20"? What are you running and how much air pressure?

Thanks,
Nick

Go with the 8 inch rims in the rear. The 10 inch look retarded and I think the 10 inch combo would weigh more.

For front tires it depends what kind of track. If the track you race is rough get the 20" and if its not really rough and well groomed get the 19".

a 10 inch rim is more for TT racing than MX.

Most people go with 8" rims, that's what i have.

I have 19" fronts, they work good, but the 20'' tires soak up the bumps a little better. I think i am going to put 20'' on mine next

Ah, yes, air pressure. well i think i have around 9 or 10 lbs. in the fronts, and the rears vary. sometimes i run them harder and some times i run them softer. depends on the track.
