i ride trails track and small testing on asfalt=)) but idk what to get i want some thing that will grab me and launch me, kendas are ok put i dont like those. i dont have much cash to spend but i have about 10% left and thaats not good! i like maxxis and itp but they have 10 difrent tipes of tires. im fine with knock offs, so can you guys help me out??? oh and one more thing whats better 20's or 18's i like to wheelie,I:I
 
i have maxis razrs on my 1 blsty they are the mx 18'' they are nice they bite well on the trail .. i am getting prolly the 20'' for my other 1 ..
 
Kenda Klaws, or Maxxis Razrs, but since you dont like the kendas, get the Razrs. ITP holeshots are liked also, but they wear out superfast, and only recommended if you only do mx.

I went with 20s on mine, I have a +4 swingarm also, and I can wheelie fine.

IF your gonna do much trail riding, the more clearance under the rear axle carrier you can get, the better, I got high centered once on the 4th july with my 20s on, on the motorcycle trail. (they left nice big ruts!)
 
yea.. you'll loose some accell going to a larger diameter..

i see alot of people recommending maxxis over ITP, so i'm going to have to try a set for myself. what i can say is the people who have their ITP holeshots wearing too fast are probably spending a bit of time on pavement.. pavement chews through off-road tires.. i run GNCC's and they hold up awesome.. barely any wear after months of drifting/hill climbing on an almost daily basis.. but if i take them on the pavement they will wear fast.. i think the ITP's have a softer compound than the maxxis, which will make it grab better, but will wear faster.
