bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 i need to buy some rear tires for my wheeler and i dont know what to get. i have usef itp holeshot hds mostly and like them but they are spendy. i was wondering if there was a better tire or more bang for the buck anyways. i do some trail riding but mostly play in the sand and redrock. i do some open field riding as well. most of the terrain in riding is hard and is rocky. any input would be great. like tire wear, traction, and durability too.

papa-smurf Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Hey .. There was just a thread about this. Go to F.A.S.T. website and there are some tires on there. MR 501 Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 thanks. ill check them out. Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 they have some ambush tires on their site and they are a good price at 70 a pop. and they sound good as well. anyone have any expirience with them? for the price i might just have to give them a shot. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 For regular riding the Ohtsu MR501 are better. I have run them both. Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 thanks. ill check those out too. i just dont want to spend 130 bucks a tire on the holeshots if i dont have to. nuce tire but mine wore fairly quick. Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 i thought they did alright besides the tread ware. but way over priced. although thats all i have ever used though. everything i buy around here has holeshoys on it. Quote
papa-smurf Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 I just bought some kenda kutters. Havent mounted them yet. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 i was looking at the kenda claws i think too. that are reversible for different types of terrain. and. i liked the tread pattern. i like kenda tires. they seem good and reasonably priced. how much were those? Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Tires are funny. I have run every tire in this thread cut and un-cut. I know which ones hook best each way, but I'm not telling... Just kidding.. Kenda - Last forever but don't hook quite as hard unless they're cut. ITP - Junk. Maxxis - Junk. Ohtsu MR501 - Great overall tire. Run them as they are. Ambush CST - Decent tire. Cut out every other row and they are the hardest hooking tires I've ever used. You've got to remember, cutting tires is ONLY good for going in a straight line! Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 how about gbc afterburns? i have heard good things. Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 and im sorry if this is a dumb question but what does cutting imply? Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Here are my 22" cut CST Ambush.. I cut every other row out for maximum straight line traction. You DO NOT want to cut tires for trails.. Quote
bansheedemon Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 ok. i get you. yeah cutting wouldnt be for me. your quad is nice. and looks really long. lol. Quote
