It depends on the paddles you use. I run 21x12x8 7 paddle extremes with stock gearing and love it. I tried a 13 in the front and didn't like it.

I think 10 paddles are a bit much for an almost stock bike.

Thats some pretty massive grip on those two tires. Good luck with the gearing.

i recommend 21x12x8 also. 6 paddle bead to bead haulers 68ro. For a bolt on bike that will be your best bet. Also run stock gearing. 1 tooth down is to much in my opinion.

well im i desided im gona get some paddles for tearin up teh trails and just use my 10 paddles for drag racin up the face. are those 6 paddles pretty good on trails? still hook pretty good along with sliding? or what about some sandstars, never used them on the rear but i heard there top paddle for trails/sliding and they still hook good for racing

I would go with an 8 paddle tire and 10" wide and whatever else size close to stock with smoothies up front close to stock size also.
