The Bridgestone ED78 Rear Tire 120/100-18 has become the choice of champions in desert off-road racing from SCORE International Baja races to Best In The Desert to AMA National and AMA District 37 Hare and Hounds and Hare Scrambles. If top guys aren't racing this tire, it's more than likely because they're being paid to ride something else.
The XR's Only Race Team chose this tire to seize back-to-back Best In The Desert 4-Stroke Championships as well as the 2005 Tecate SCORE Baja 500 Overall Championship.
