Or has anyone rode both 18" and 19" Rears on MX to know if there is any gain?

That kind of power needs the 18" tire so it has more sidewall flex for traction Save Quote Log in or register to post comments Configuration options jbrass715 Posts 138 Joined 1/6/2017 Location West Plains, MO US jbrass715 8/31/2018 8:30am 8/31/2018 8:30am Makes sense.

I hated the feel of sidewall flex, on the tall 18" tires. I was always told the 18" rears were so that you could run a tall tire to avoid pinch flats in the desert. Either way, it's still a Five-Fundred!!
