Wider slightly taller tire for FX2 wheel

I was planning on buying Mamba M2 wheels with tires but I went on vacation and found some deals I couldnt pass up so between that and Christmas it looks like Im gonna have to settle and just get some tires before winter sets in. I'm looking for a wide and slightly taller tire then the stock 265/60/18's. They are FX2 wheels so Im looking into something street with a little offroad for now and then, kinda like Pirelli ATRs or similar. Thinking 285/60/18's but do you think thats gonna be wide enough for the wide stance Im looking for?

You might like the cooper zeon in 285/60/18. Nice tire!!

If you want to go wider maybe consider a 305/65/18, but thats going to require a leveling kit, not sure if you wanna go that route. There are a lot of options in that size.

No problem, if you get them make sure to post some pics. What kinda of Yamaha you ride? No street bike here, but I have a Grizzly 700FI.

09 YZ250F, best bike I've ever owned.




And while we are off topic this is my white german shepherd, he will be a year old in late december but this was a few months ago. Assuming yours is pure yellow lab?
