wheels and tires?

I was just check on wheel and tire sizes. What would be the best for freestyle? I was looking into ITP everything. T-9 Baja series (10x5 front, 9x9 rear) wrapped in MXR4's. Any size that would work any better then others. I was looking into 20x6-10 fronts and 19x10-9 rears, or should i go smaller? Would that work alright? With that change, would I need sprockets just a touch bigger?

i run douglas yellow-label 9 inch rears (i think there called ultimates or somethin like that)...with 18 inch kenda klaws... and bumped my rear sprocket up one tooth... works awesome for me

i see you guys are both runnin smaller sized mx tires. do you feel those work better than larger sized tires like 20x11x10 or 20x10x10? that is what i have always run in the past but, i have never tried smaller sized tires.

usually the bigger the tire (like 20's) are for a higher top speed and smaller tires (18's) are for more acceleration... like off-the-line...it all has to do with the amount of surface area your tire has to cover to complete one full rotation (i dunno its too complicated for me lol)

so i use 18's...cause i need the acceleration more then i need top speed...it all depends on wut you ride on..and how you like it... i use 20's on a motocross track cause i need more top speed.. i dunno i could be completely wrong... but thats wut people have told me... and it works for me lol
