Generally you want the wider, beefier tire on front, where you can benefit from the traction. The rear can roll faster with a narrow file tread and can handle losing traction in the corner without really affecting control. That said, you'll also need to pay attention to the air pressure in the rear where you're more likely to pinch flat.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658224965647963207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023724306991029951.post-10996435149615979272011-03-05T04:38:54.981-08:002011-03-05T04:38:54.981-08:00Hey, im new to cross and enduro racing.
