    What size tires for a 250r?

    I know the stock is 22x11x8... but they look so tall and old school. I see most people running smaller tires that look flat across the top; not ballooned out like the old ones.

    What size(s) is/are everyone running?

    IMO, a good set of 20" tires is a good choice for all-around riding, size-wise.
    The Holeshot type pattern works fairly well for me.

    I have 18's and am going to switch to 20's. From posts on this topic, seems most agree that 18's are good for the track and sliding but the 20's are a better all around tire.

    So 20" tall is good for all-around riding? I have stock size (wider offset) wheels so that should work out nicely.
