Pix of my X with knobbies.

Here she is. Wearing her lovely "R" shoes.
Not the best pics but that's all I got. Put her in storage already.

At the dealership:



Bringing her home:



Stored for the winter:

Awesome. Is that an 18 or 17" rear wheel (just noticed different hubs front and rear), if its still the 17, what size MT21 did you get? I take it that you still have the X disc for the front?

It's the stock WRx rear wheel with Pirelli MT21 RallyCross 120/90-17.
Yup large x disc on front. I've got the best of both worlds

I know its early days but do you see any trouble with the narrower width tire on the 4in rear rim?

I've got a 21" front from Wheeling and planning exactly the same setup as yours, just switching out the front wheel! Rear tire I considered a 130/80 or 140/80, hadnt considered a 120. Id be interested in your feedback!

Well I haven't had the chance really to ride in the dirt since winter's here. The 120 tho looks pretty beefy and I am sure it'll do the job - I'll be mostly on gravel roads and trails here in the mountains. Can give you an update in a couple months

Yeah looks pretty beefie, i would just be concerned about it slipping on the rim or the such without a rim lock but dont think you can get one for a 4 inch rim.

I guess the dealer would have said if it was too narrow or not?

What pressures are you planning on running?

looks great! love the X with knobbies!

Wheeling cycle supply is the one and only place you'll find them.

Oh my god thank you so much!!!

Sorry don't know where they are from, bought the bike that way.

Here's a new pic, installed the DRC taillight and flashers yesterday. Still have to do the front.

No slippage of the 120 rear on the stock rim? What's the lowest pressure you run in the rear?

Nope, not that I know of. 25 PSI is what I ran, went to 33 today for the Highway.

Once you hit 90+ the rear end feels kinda unstable with this tire though...

Was wondering if you bought the front SMPro rim from Wheeling Cycle Supply?

Really like your set up with the stock rear rim... How is the ride with a 21" front and a 17" rear?

Thanks I like it a lot and don't see a reason for buying a bigger rear, except for having an extra one with SM tires. Works well on the trails and road. Doesn't look too shabby either.
The SMpro front wheel came with the bike so I don't know where it's from. Bought the bike in Calgary.
