[QUOTE="Troy, post: 143158, member: 16517"] I have a '00 KDX-220 / w/ drilled airbox / Fredette porting / milled head / bored carb / rev pipe / stiff fork springs and gold valves / IMS wide footpegs / tall seat foam / gripper seat cover / tall Renthal bars / JVC solid bar clamp. I ride with an '98 RMX-250, '98 XR-400 and a '00 WR-400 and they are all convinced that the IRC M5B is the best tire ever made (especially for mud) and each guy uses it on his bike. On a wet, muddy day at the Buffalo Range (in Ottawa, IL), I was having trouble getting up small hills on my '00 KDX-220 while the RMX-250 was going up them with ease. This was a really muddy day and the park has a lot of slimey greasy clay. My RMX buddy swore it was his IRC M5B tire getting him up the hills and I swore it was his bikes VERY smooth power delivery and his riding ability. We swapped bikes and it was the same story... my KDX was spinning the rear tire and his RMX (under my butt) was hooking up and climbing easily. So it wasn't riding ability... the RMX DOES have a smooth power delivery, but so DOES my KDX... so it sure FELT like the tire... I have a set of Michelin Cross Competition S12's on my KDX-220 right now. Back = 130/80/18 - Front = 90/90/21. I run 10-14 PSI depending on conditions. They only have 3 or 4 rides on them and still looks like NEW tires. I have more than a half inch of space on each side of the tire to the swingarm, so it looks like a 140 will fit! Will a 140 fit the KDX? Have you ever used the IRC M5B on a KDX-220? Did you like it? How was it in MUD? Did it last very long? [/QUOTE]
