4.10 (he said based on no researched factual information).

Whether with 'normal' size tires (dunlop) or other gendered measurements (thassa joke son!) like michelin, I've always put on a larger tire than oem.

It's not like the kdx has trouble with the extra traction.

But then, a bigger tire in some cases means more 'float'..not necessarily better traction.

BTW, E-6 '94 oem is: TIRE,RR,100/100-18 59M,K695(D)

My limited experience says it will be too big to fit. Most people run 110 or 120 both of which are around (check a tire person) 3.50 to 4.0. I tried over a 4.00 one time on an earlier moded and would not fit. 94 models do not have as much room for tire as 95 ups by my experience.
On the other hand tire manufacturers as strange with their tire sizes as womens dress manufacturers are with their products. Try it out.

Please do check the URL. The columnar info didn't cut'n-paste too well...and trying to edit it with <spaces> didn't work, either.

Front Tire Size


NEW METRIC OLD METRIC INCH
70/100 80/90 2.75/3.00
80/100 90/90 3.00/3.25

Rear Tire Size


NEW METRIC OLD METRIC INCH
90/100 110/80 3.60/4.10
100/100 120/80 4.00/4.10
110/100 130/80 4.50/5.10

I've run 110/100 D756 rears for some time. No fit troubles. I DO run a 12T CSS w/ 108links (47 rear).

Note: I don't have an E6!, either.
