I am looking for recomendations for which paddle tire to buy for my 18" wheel on my O1 KX5

Same one I use... Cheng Shin 10 blade 5.60 X 18. Goes for about $50

I just got that one for myYZ490 and I don't think its going to fit. The 560x18 Cheng Shin  supper knob is what I am running now on my 490 so I thought it would fit The knobby is 27" high and the 560  Chen Shin paddle is all most 29" high. It is a mean looking tire just like the 560 knob. That's great news that it will fit the KX! Did you have to do anything differant like add a link in your chain? What sproket are you running on that wheel.

Thanks! :D

I use the stock ratios with that bad boy, 14/47. All I had to do was get an extra link and slide the tire all the way back.
