When I bought my '98 KDX200 a few months ago the seller threw in a slightly used Dunlop Sports 120-100-18 rear tire. Supposedly it was a taken off of a new KTM. Anyway, this tire looks much wider than what's currently on the rear of my KDX (stock size 110-100-18). Can I use this 120 when it comes time to change tires? Will it fit properly and not cause any harmful effects (rubbing, etc.)? Does my KDX have enough juice to spin that tire OK?
While we're on the subject, I'd like to hear recommendations for a good, long wearing rear tire. My first real time on this bike was on Columbus Day last week and it consisted of approximately 40 miles of mixed terrain (sand, mud, some rock) trails. After that ride my rear tire was worn considerably, therefore I'd like to think that the current Dunlop 752 could be improved upon. Thanks in advance.
