I absolutely can not ride mud. I don't know what it is. I go down every time. Last week I went down twice within 10 ft.. Second spill I pinned my leg in an awkward way and had to wait for the guys to come back and find me.
I keep telling myself that it's just my heavy beast XR4. Then I started wondering about tire sizes. The 2 most popular front sizes are 80/100-21 and 90/90-21. Doing the math to determine section height to width, the 80/100-21 works out to 80/80-21 and the 90/90-21 works out to be 90/81-21, right? So the 2 sizes are almost the same section height-wise but the 90/90-21 is wider.
What's best handling in mud, a skinnier or wider tire?
