What size rear tire are you guys running on your 450's. Just got a 18 RMZ 450 and it comes with a 110 rear tire. Have you guys been sticking with that size or bumping up to a 120? Just curious is all.

Just depends on the track really. I prefer the 110 on most bikes and tracks but sometimes the extra footprint of the 120 helps.

One brands 110 is like another 100 or 120. Cant just go by the numbers, has to compare model to model.

Bridgestone 110 is like dunlop 120. Michelins old MS3 110 was like a 100 bridgestone. Pirelli 110 is slightly wider than Dunlop 110 but not as wide as bridgestone 110.

So, it depends.

I have a 120 on mine. Might go to the thinner one next time. I have the 110 on my 250 and its easier to get into ruts. Only thing keeping me from switching is the amount of traction i have on the 120 in flat hardpack turns

This.

Then there is different heights that mess with geometry and gearing.
