What's the benefit of 18" wheels front and rear? Is it as simple as stickier tires are available for 18" fronts vs 19" fronts?

What options are out there for 18" front? Z1Rs and KZ Police bikes?

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

Sticky rubber is getting harder to find, I think they both have about the same tires available. I think the smaller tire turns a little better.

Cool thanks! That was another possibility that I thought of... less gyroscopic action I suppose?

How much wider are the KZP rims compared to stock mags compared to Z1R mags?
