| Greetings for the New Year.
I am trying to finish up my project bike to get it out on the track. I have to finish my cylinder and get my tires still. I have a 17'' front and 14'' rear.
Here is what i found for the rear: http://www.bikebandit.com/product/3769
Should i go 120/70/14 or 150/70/14? Im not sure if the 150 will fit but it should grip better, more tire on the ground.
Also what size should i go for the front? | |

| I strongly sugest you to get the proper sumo wheels, the MX rims are too narrow and don't allow the tire to take the right profile, plus there's no good race tires in 14", you have to choose either 12" or 17".
If you can't wait and decide to get tires on your mx wheels then get the narrower you can | |
