Just wondering what people are running? I see that there is no longer and Maxxis tyres available at the moment. Does anyone run a 160 rear section tyre on a 4.25 rim?

yeah mate most people are running a 160 on a 4.25 rim.
they work fine but you will have chicken strips that you cant get rid of unless you use a 5 inch rim

i recommend metzeler racetec drifts mate, wicked tyres & last pretty good too

Running Pirelli Dragons (got them for free) seem okay, prior to that had a Race Attack on the front and a Street on the back, they worked brilliantly
Will be going to drifts next probably

generally:

4.25"-4.50" rim=150 to 155 tyre
5.00" rim=160 to 165 tyre(+ a few very special SM specific 170 slicks)
5.50" rim=170 to 180 tyre
6.00" rim=190 to 200 tyre
