hollyrollers are fine I've used them before and never had any trouble. I've got a maxxdaddy on the front that everyone calls a monster truck tyre but i like it. I've got a dirt monster on the back and that grips well on any surface. Basicly I ride what ever I get given or pick up dead cheap.

I agree with meddle on sizes. But its pressures that make the most difference. I ran 80 psi at Chesterfield national, makes your wrists and ankles ache, but you go like stink.

I run a 20x1.75 on the rear and a 20x1.95 on the front.  Seems just about right for me.
