2.4 (I assume steel bead) tire in the rear? You must love that rotational weight... ;)

Gotta look cool for the kids yo...
In all seriousness though, I dont really notice it. I dont like when my bike feels too squirrely, because I'm squirrely enough as it is ;)
It tables just fine. Plus, it looks badass. Isnt that what really matters? The answer is yes.

Lol I just had this debate with myself over what tire sizes I wanted to switch to. Part of me was curious to try some monster truck giant tires, but frame and brake clearance would be issues for me.
The added height and width sound interesting in terms of feel, but the rotational weight wouldn't. Like everything, tradeoffs all around.
@ss4oLe:
Is 25 ounces too heavy?
That's what the Mainline tires are.
Narcoleptic Insomniac:
What TPI are most bmx tires anyway?

I've read 26oz for the big MoFo front tire, which is a bit heavy for me.
