tire size configurations?
if you have 2 of the same tire on your bike but one is 1.8 and one is 2.0 which usually goes on the front and the back? right now I have 1.8 on the front and 2.0 on the back but I've heard people telling me the otherway around, but the way I have it seems to make sense to me. correct me if I'm wrong.

2.0 in the front. Always want the bigger tire in the front. No matter the type of riding. (assuming)
But yeah it's deffinatly wider tire in front.

wider tire in front is usually a good set up. narrower tire in the rear gives you less rolling resistance, and the wider one up front gives you more control, and factor in that you should be using your front brake more than your rear. p.s. unless the 1.8 is for the mud i would recommend atleast 2.0/2.1 for trail use, or even racing.
