Is this best to use for the rear tire? If so, what do you recommend purchasing for the front to use with this one?

I purchased both front and rear and it performed very well, it really worked well in most terrian types.

Hi Michael. I am not that much of an expert. However, they came in a pair. So I just put both of them on.

It really depends on the surface you ride on; I would say this is a mud tire. I have since moved on to small block 8 tire for the front and the back. They are great for more hard pack surface and seem to be more consistent in cornering. The k850 seems to kind of collapse a bit during hard cornering. Do keep in mind that I am 6' 1" and around 200lbs, which is a lot of pressure at speed in a corner.

I put the tire on both front and back and they work fine. Although, riding surface does matter. The tire seems to create friction on hard surfaces due to soft tire nubs.

Michael this tire is what is found on department store bikes so if thats the type of bike you ride then the same model front will do just fine. On the other hand, if you are a more serious mtb rider then I'd stay away from these tires altogether.

On my bike it is the front wheel that is up off the ground. But if the front weighs more (Like if I have something in a front basket) than the back then it is the back tire that is up. So it depends. Personally, I do not recommend this model. On mine the spring broke making it useless. There are better quallity stands out there that do the same thing but are much better made.

William: I would suggest buying the FR1030. About twice the price, but a much better tire. The garden cart purchased from H. Depot is holding up well, but the tires are the first to go. I feel with FR1030 tires that my cart will last longer than if I had purchased a new cart.

I think that rear tire is short cut for rear wheel. If not then you can not mount sensor on any tires. Rear wheel is fine.

Mine included two additional suckers for the back tires, but none for the front tires as one other person answered. So, you get the main one for mounting the front of the bike, and two other suckers with Velcro straps to mount the back tires. I put the front tires in my trunk.

Do you plan on just putting them on the back? they have another tire setup that is more of the same size as stock tires but same tread as the badlands. I have 2 Slash's and would recommend the smaller size then the badlands. And they work great too... but the badlands will work.

This tire can be used tubeless with the proper wheel and valve stem. I prefer to use a heavy duty self sealing tube. You never know when you'll find a nail, sharp branch or thorn hiding in snow or sand.

For me, 25mm provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike

Solid tires. Puncture not possible. Good material and durometer choice. Burley nailed it. (Except in the case of tire punctures ;)

I concur with the other comments. My only recommendation would be to go with the non folding tire if you have no desire to carry it with you while riding. The folding tires are a little more difficult to get on. As a woman that little bit makes a big difference.

I would not purchase one on your own... whoever is going to install it will want to buy it... I bought one but no one would install it .....not dependable unless they purchased it... make sure you have a good tire person and they will not over charge you for it... sr

Go with the same. Back tires wear out quicker than front tires. When the back tire wears out, (you can see the top of tire flatten or square off as it ages) rotate the front tire to the back and put the new tire on the front.

I myself would consider it a rear tire but be advised, if you're looking for a 2.1 width tire DON'T look here! even though they specify 2.1 it's really a 1.95 at best. I was very disappointed due to this and some Kenda "engineer" that I spoke to told me that's how real 2.1 tires are made, not the answer I was looking for. Good luck.

No, it is rather confusing. However there is a U-Tuble Video for putting on the rear wheel that I found helpful. The Ride is worth the assembly! Might be easier if one were more mechanically inclined than I am. Rear tire inner tube blew after about 8 rides. I replaced it with a heavier quality tube. So had to take off wheel and reassemble. that's when a dealer helped me discover the U-Tube which helped. Bert

I recommend using a thorn resistant tube. If you run over a thorn and it breaks off in the tire, it may still penetrate after being ridden over time. I always spend a little extra on the tube, because I have found that the further I am from home, the more likely a cheap tube is to rupture or go flat!!

I know from experience that WTB makes a good tire for the buck. Vredestien is a tire that I haven't used. My own personal choice is Schwalbe.

Check out this video from Security Chain Company's website http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction-product-choices/radial-chain/#video. Personally, for my vehicles, I find it a bit easier to "jack " the wheel in which I am working on. This allows me to snug up the chain without the interference of the pavement. Because the chains cover a multitude of tire sizes, this might make it easier or harder for your installation. My truck was the largest tire size that the chain covered, so I have to fight a little bit to make the connections (jacking the wheel helps allot here!). My car is on the opposite end of the scale, so it is rather easy. I strongly recommend these chains for their value. I own 3 sets of these chains for all my vehicles.
