    Hello,

    Maybe a stupid question but why have all the enduro bikes 18 inch rear wheels?
    I m considering tyres for my WR 1990.
    I would ride 80% ofroad sand
    What would be good to ride?
    Why should i use 18 inch wheel or a 19 inch wheel with offroad tyre

    best regards,
    Marco

    18 has has higher side walls to cope with trail obstacles, 19 are low profile close to the rim tires good for less tire movement on groomed tracks (MX). Think sports cars with ultra low profile tires compared to off road trucks with lots of sidewall.
