120/100-18 on 2.15 rims?
I was thinking of running a 120/100-18 tire and looking at some Kenda's. For that size they reference a 2.5 rim. The 110/100-18's call for a 2.15 on the Kenda chart....which I believe is what I have. Would there be any issues running the 120 on my existing (2.15) rim?

This is for your rear on the 300? I run a 130 s-12 on the back, no issues,,I've also had a 120/100 too,, the 140 rubs a bit,, the 130 seems to get less pinched tubes,, knock on wood!

FWIW, I've found the Kenda'a (Millville) to be a terrible tire in hard to mixed terrain. I pulled it off and gave it away after two rides. The compound seemed way to hard and it would not hook up. A really good all around knobby is a Trelleborg TenMaster. A few $$ more but worth it. Like Steve said the 130 S12 is a great tire as well.

Thx. The Millville is for soft/int terrain and has a pretty hard compound. I find it's an excellent desert tire. The Budds Creek is alot more plyable and works great in hard/mixed terrain. I like the S12's but they chunk apart on me quickly

Whats the terrain like in idaho?? My s-12 has lasted 3 seasons on my 97 which is ok since it has only 30 miles in 3 years. I like the 402 bridgstones too but they wear fast,, a good 3-4 rides and its shot,, but I still have the almost bald tire still on my 03 for 2 seasons now,, My next tire for the rear will be the trelle,, it should last me 2 years!!

Before I started running trials tires for local rock riding, I'd spend a fortune on knobbys. Three rides and they were toast. Now I got a spare wheel with an S12 for soft terrain/ racing, and a Mitas ET-01 for trail riding. This lasts all year plus two fronts.
