    I'll tell you what tires not to put on the rear of that 250r. Kenda Knarlys. ugh. I road all day with 20x11x9 knarlys on the back and no matter how hard I tried I just could not get comfortable on them. The have too much side bite, the stock 250r just doesn't break them loose enough to slide around an MX track.

    Honestly I bought them for my 500, and they're fine on the big5, more than enough power to break them loose to power slide, but they suck on the 250r.

    I've been riding bald ohstus so long I'm afraid if I order a set of the dunlop replacements it will be the knarlys all over again, too much side bite.

    Any advice/oppinions?

    The OEM tires should have a lot less side bite than the knarlys.
