Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
We have 3 rears for the SM bike , 1 carbon matrix with a slick on , 1 with a new wet , and one with a worn wet in case its just damp .. at $170 a pop, you don't need to save many rear tyres to justify the cost ... a new wet on a drying track will do 10 laps tops.
Regarding the RMZ having larger axles, custom wheel spacers with a sleeve that slide inside the bearings can be made to fit on the RM. That way you have wheels that will fit on more bikes, so easier to sell afterwards.

Two wheel-sets means flat-tires are fixed RIGHT NOW. Tire size options on race day are easier to pull off...
Etc.
It's a big part of my over compensation for being old, fat and slow, and not being able to afford anything like that when I was younger and capable of winning.
I have four fronts and three rears for my Supermoto- slicks/intermediates/wets (and now a 16.5" front as well)
Three sets for my MX bike (genuine Yamaha wheels) I usually keep a used set of tires for practice etc. My sharpest set for the actual races. Either sand tires or hard terrain tires mounted on the third set depending on the venue.
Swapping wheels after practice, and sometimes between races. I'm still slow. But I enjoy it.
OCD. The curse that keeps on costing.
Also....nice to have a spare counter shaft sprocket and chain that matches the rear sprocket. Definitely don't want to mix and match , different wear.....asking for trouble.
