locogato11283 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 i dont usualy say anthing, but i do alot of reading on tires . this is a good read.. a little fule to the kenda vs maxxis fire.. http://www.atvrideronline.com/tested/100_0...est/maxxis.html latter . atv rider, dirtwheels etc. are totally biased magazines. reviews are based on who drops the most money on advertising. for example: notice that kenda and maxxis were given pretty good reviews, with the nod towards maxxis.. ohtsu was given a pretty weak review. i would be willing to bet that in terms of advertising dollars it goes, maxxis - kenda - ohtsu. and if you notice, atv rider doesnt totally write any of them off. this is because advertising in a magazine that gives your tires a bad review doesnt make sense.

I am liking QUAD magazine at the moment. They seem to be pretty unbiased. It's the only ATV magazine on the market that I have a subscription two at the moment. :geek: Quote
Angel ripper Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Never tried the Kendas, always wanted to try the Knarleys though, , but I don't see many people running them in GNCC, you see mostly MAXXIS or ITPs Edited February 19, 2009 by Angel ripper Quote
desertdeweller Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 A lot depends on where you ride and terrain there is no one perfect tire. Every rider will want something different depending on there experience. I run the pure sports bandits on the rear of mine they probably don`t handle the best but they last a long time and are very heavy. But with all the cactus shale and other sharp rocks rocks around here I have never punctured them to the point of needing plugs. Don`t get me wrong they do have slow leaks, but the sidewalls are stiff enough you could proabably ride them flat with no problems. I haven`t really found anything for the front that I am really happy with. I usually run holeshots or razrs up there but since I run 23-7-10 my choices are kinda limited. I tpically have to run slime or something to keep air in them for any length of time. Quote

fasstbanshee Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 15 and 16 pounds a piece!!! razrs always have been and always will be junk. overpriced and overweight. there are too many other better tire options out there for a whole lot less money. your wrong they are the best tire for gncc style riding :geek: there 6 ply and the tread will hold up twice as much then any other tire out there that is 6 ply Quote

THE GRIM RIPPER Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 i've only ever run kenda's, save for the pure sport fronts WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt??????? :blink: Those pure sport fronts are GARBAGE You are the first, and will be the last to like those tires..... They are heavier than any tire I have come across, pack up if you even think about mud, have a uniquely stupid tread design, and oh yeah..... the last thing they want to do is turn Quote
