tyres what are the pros and cons of different sizes on freestyle bikes,
do you keep front and back the same size?
what is the best size ??? is 20 x 2.1 better than 20 x 1.95
or is it all personal choice ???
help!!!!!! Cheers flaz :daumenhoch:

Personal choice I think. I run 1.95 front and rear, was running 2.1/1.95 front/rear though.

did you notice any difference when they were different sizes ?
would 2.1 make much difference to the weight ?
im sure i read that larger tyres are kinder on the bones ?

Depends what you're using it for, I have a 2.1 on the front of my dirt bike and that is so much more stable than the skinny-ass 1.75 that was originally on there. On the park bike I can't say that I've noticed much difference.

i ride 2.0 front and rear... smaller ized tyres dont seem to have as much grip as big ones and i dont like looking down at a skinny tyre cos i dont feel safe ... weight isnt a problem id say but if your worried about it get khe premium tyres the pair is lighter than ONE of my old m-treads
