Got xr4's - awesome but BIG! And I only bought a 2.2, the 2.4 must be huge. Had to take rear off my fuel ex as it was rubbing the swingarm 🙁

XR4's are pish, might be ok in the dry but useless in the wet, couldn't get any grip in anything other than a straight line on a smooth surface, tyres pinged off and slid on anything standing remotely proud of the surface, only tyre that I have spun 180 degrees on whilst riding in a straight line, gave up trying to get grip when I had dropped the pressures down to 10psi front and 14psi in the back.

+1 for XR4's on South Downs Mud, XR2's are rubbish in the wet, good in the dry.
