14 Inch Maxxis?

I haven't bought my TM yet, but should have it in a couple weeks and have been reading lots of threads dealing with tire issues. I gather that I should make sure my tires are balanced, replace the rubber valve stems with metal ones, and consider going to 15 inch tires and getting a tire monitoring system. I do have one additional question. Does Maxxis make a 14 inch tire that will fit TM? I suspect the answer is "no" since I haven't seen it mentioned in any of the threads, but I thought I would ask the question and make sure. I surely do enjoy reading what all of you have to say about your TM's and adventures, and look forward to being a fellow TM owner.

I believe there are a few members actually running 14 inch Maxxis tires. You can read about it here.

Also, here is the spec sheet on the 8008 Maxxis ST tire, and they do make several 14 inch ST tires.

Hope this helps you in your decision.

Thanks, that was very helpful. I thought I had read all the tire threads, but I missed that one. So much to learn. Thanks again.
