Not nesessarily because if you have a wider tyre its going to dig up more mud and paddle you along.

Or something like that. :p

aye thats right mate, the the thinner tyres will have less grip! cutting thru mud rather then gripping it. it has 70/100/19-16 on front and back think i'll just go with some fatter tyres 80-90/100 and see how i get on. first time with a bike so i ont really know much..

Or something like that. :pyh and more friction between the tyre ans the ground slowing it down:roll:

Aidy.

There will be fuck all friction though, specially on the dirt!

Fatter tyre = better handling and more grip.

Wider tyres are better for cornering, Because you can lean further and get more grip.
