Holyman Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 I'm thinking about getting some new tires. I run Bandit 6 ply's right now but would like to try something new. I rides harsh trails, rocks, and junk in the ditches. I think these are my best options. I really have no complaints with the Bandits but thought I'd try some of the newer tires. I need grip on the loose rocks and muddy trails and puncture resistance. Any other options would be great too. I will be running a 20" tall tire and can run either a 9 or 10 in rear rim. Quote
. Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 I would go with the Razr's over the Holeshots. Dont have experience with the tires but I was feeling the lugs on the HD's and they are really soft. My next rear tire is going to be either the Razr2's (when I get my -1 on if my holeshots hook up), or a set of 20" blackwaters. <~~~tires are badass, and have a tonnnn of bite for a long time after the edges wear off unlike holeshots with a stock swingarm setup they just want to spin.

ledofthezep Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 RAZRII's look nice, I have 20 " RAZR's & they're ok, but don't hook as good as stock EX tires. Quote
ellison445 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 I would go HD's.....Loco has a set for cheap!!! RAZRII's look nice, I have 20 " RAZR's & they're ok, but don't hook as good as stock EX tires. 331188[/snapback] Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 i have run my holeshot hds on my 450 for quite a while now. i ride alot of rocky and rutted trails. they show no signs of wear. the lugs are soft but they last. i dont know how youd ever puncture one of these tires. they are very beefy. i would recommend them for sure. i do have a set for sale but shipping would be insanely high. id rather someone meet me somewhere or pick them up. i personally have run razr 2s and i thought they wore really fast.

Holyman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Posted February 28, 2005 Which ones weigh more? The Holeshots or The Razr2's? The Bandits I have wear really well but don't grip very well. The kind of riding I do is on "ground" just like that good ol' Missouri rock. Quote

Holyman Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Posted February 28, 2005 I know the bandits are heavy but I don't remember how much. I'll be running them on my banshee. Basically I'm looking for these 3 in order #1 Durability, #2 Lightness, #3 Grip. Quote

EastCoast Banshee Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I have razrs and they are awsome. They hook up good in the mud for me. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 i would really give the kenda knarly a try. they are 6 ply, pretty damn light and hook very very well. plus they are cheaper than the others. Quote

The HD's are 20 lbs and the Bandits, Razr2's and Knarly's are 13-14lbs. Quote
