I will be replacing the rear tire on my 2009 YZ250 and was wondering if anyone has used a 120 instead of a 110. Just wanted to hear any pros or cons in making a change to the wider rear tire.

It will work, but sometimes it may make the front end push going into turns. Remember that 2 strokes are basically turned by the spinning of the rear tire and going to a larger tire will reduce this somewhat.

It can make the rear end feel a little dead due to the weight. I would be concerned about the chain hitting the tire. The bike was spec'd with a 110 tire for a reason.

Thank you for the responses. I will stick with the 110.
