i'd say anything that suits the particular conditions and your riding style and the machine you ride, so long as it's I.T.P. but then again i'm biased

If you want a good all round MX tyre and dont want to be replacing them every 2nd or 3rd meeting, [ unless youve got money to burn ] try KENDA KLAW MXR, my sons have been using them for a number of years, Cam #7, has won numerous state and National class wins with them, good predictable tyre and last well. the new sx klaws are a bit soft though, alright for one off special events [ or when you have got money to burn ].

Hey RC, if you're riding at AJS or Costal then go the 20 inch rears, you'll need them in the deep ruts. Klaws area good all round tyre choice.

I've always loved the razr2 fronts on my 450, but they dont do a 20".
I'm not so impressed with the ITP fronts (a bit understeery).
However, the ITP MXR6's i've been running on the rear of my Jumbo offer sensational rear grip. So much so that they are too grippy when new. I had too wear them out a bit before I could get the right slide / grip sort of ratio.
If you want to win holeshots give Andy a buzz at Austraco.

Guys be careful with ITP guys they don't back their product . I blew a rear tyre poping the bead when swapping from mx to Cross country . I rang them to buy one because I was riding Hattah the next weekend and they wouldn't sell me just one. Evil or Very Mad I didn't ask for warranty and was willing to pay. It left me in a real spot 4000 kms of of driving to support a new quad event with one rear tyre. So guys just my experience with ITP use other brands if you can.

Sorry I don't normally whinge Mad

We have 3 riders racing at Coastal and all 3 of them use ITP MXR's 19"
use them at most tracks in WA.
