Front Tire size?

What are most guys running for size ? Brand ? Preference for Stick or Auto?

I run 28" Hoosier's on mine and never had a problem

I'm happy with Hoosier 18107 (28x4.5x15) about 11.5 lb. each, very stable at 116 mph.

I have the M/T 27.5 on mine & like them...Dad has the old school Moroso 7.10 (their 28") on his. We ran the Moroso DS2 & didn't care much for them....short life span

Mickey Thompson tires are the best

28.0 Goodyear on all our stuff. Excellent long life! I change to 26 on my really bad days.

28" Hoosiers have given me good life and wear. But I choose the height (rollout) based on what's needed to help with reaction times.

I have three set of front tire.26, 27.5 and some big ***** TIRE (7.60 -15 MOROSO) I use the 27.5 most of the time. but will change if going red or late.

jeff g, you need to listen to Myron; getting the right rollout based on your spot on the tree is the main criteria and I've done good with Hoosier as well. Ideally, you need a "short" and "taller" set for varying tracks...plus if you REALLY need that extra ET a short tire is working against you (remember rollout). It all has very little to do with "the right look". Just my 2C
