street to dirt, advice on parts

ive done the street thing all winter long, fun but having some problems being able to ride in town without po po showin up. anyways mx season is back and im rebuilding the track behind my house and ended up building a small 50 track, not all that great but when you add 3 other guys with 50s its hella fun. so i took off my 2.75x10 street slicks in favor for the stock tires and finally got a decent big bar kit. i also sandblasted the stock pipe, only took one hard ride and its now blue in color (it looks like the pro's pipes, im so cool now...:YEAH ..jk) anyways im leaving the engine stock for now so im upgrading suspension\tires. ive been all stock until now and i dont want to dump a ton of cash into a "hobby". ive got an 05 crf450 and an 04 tundra i just bought that takes most of my cash. heres my questions...

which tires? kenda's millville's look nice, but so do the shinko's on this site... http://www.hondaminitrail.com/XR50.html

and what shocks\springs? is allied alright? i see a ton of knock off stuff on ebay, they are all about the same price, i was gonna go with the allied front springs\shock for the 160-200lb rider and some new nylon bushings for the forks. what do you you all think\suggest\comment...ect?
