    Yeah, would be nice but I'd need wheels with hubs and rotors, all spacers and front brake hanger. And after all the trouble I went to get the 17's to fit, just rather go with some diff tires. Really, just looking for more grip on dirt roads than sport rubber. I've got the ring ding with knobs for trail rides. The ContiEscape looks nice but does not come in sumo sizes. The MT60 front with Bash's Shinko on the rear looks good, or the Avon's in the sumo size and compound. I want a 150 rear to help keep it off the muffler, will prob still rub some but not as much as my current 160.
