Yes you can mix tires and rims from 24mm to 26mm. A 26mm tire on a 24mm rim isnt a good idea unless you want a motorcycle style tire......a 24mm tire on a 26mm rim is a better idea as it will make the tire lower profile. But there isnt too many 24mm tires.
Thanks again Rob.

Was there any real differance between the VTA tires and X patterns performance wise. I have a ton of VTA tires, if I could use those that would help tremendously.

One more question Rob. Will there be concourse judging like in the past for TA for each class at the Nats?

tanks...
