[QUOTE="Mihylo33, post: 224988, member: 408"] 1: you will never get the same tire the pros run. Here’s a reason why they cut them in half when they remove them. Not a fan of the Dunlop geomax tires. The tire depends on the bike and the rider. I loved Kenda Carlsbad’s on my KX but they were horrible on my Suzuki. Try the maxxis but chances are you might not like them either. Tire pressure also plays a role in this as well as front suspension. 2: no difference in tires.
