Okay would like to know how a 10 inch tires improves handling.I know with ice racing it helps out a lot.My new 350X improved engine will be done soon.So if a shorter tire will make it handle better in the woods I would buy one.

I don't think handling is the big issue regarding the 10" rim. The issue is that there are very, very few new 11" tires available, while there are numerous choices in 10".

While it may not directly affect handling, it could in that you could choose a tire more correct for your riding style that the current options for an 11"

On the track, using a 11 rim with a 23inch tire and 18's on the back, sort of felt like a chopper.
Going to a 10 rim and 21 tire it dropped the front tire. The feeling of it was great, stuck the corners better and cornering in general was better. I felt like I could get tighter turns and hang off the side more.
One major downfall- RUTS! trails and some tracks have nasty ruts, your bottom fork tubes can do some landscaping if you get a lil hairy.
All in all I love mine, the tire selection is anything you want it to be. Sport Kwads are mostly 10's and you can pick up anything you want.
