    Front tires for flat tracking and rears?

    Okay there is a chance of some flat track racing locally on dirt.So that means new tires.What I wonder is what to do with the front?I just bought a new 10" rim and mounted a Kenda Klaw XC 23" tire.How would that work for flat tracking?Don't really want to buy another 10" front rim and tire.The other question is what size for the rears?Don't know how big the track is but they run karts on it.Would I be better off with kart type tires?Or the bigger atv sized ones?This isn't going to be anything serious just fun.

    Your tires can be dependent on your riding style. But the big question is, what are the locals running? Find out and base your tires off of them. Just run what you have and see how that goes and go from there.
