| Re: Whats the advantage on having a 12" front tire. 12 inch rolls over obsticals easier than a 10 inch. makes for a less sketchy ride. |

| Re: Whats the advantage on having a 12" front tire. cant race stock class with a 12" front. (not in aus anyway) i got one when i got my 88 kit and it is way better. just smoother and handles better etc but i dont think its really necessary for stock? |

| Re: Whats the advantage on having a 12" front tire. Its nice to hit bmx style dirtjumps with the 10"s front and back but in the race's its better to run the 12" in the front..I use the 12" in the front when hitting some ramps....any one run 12" on the rear ? |
