Stinger Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) I'm going to buy eithe rthe 4 ply Holeshot, Knarly, or RAZR rear tires for my Shee. My main concern is tread life. Which will last longer? I ride on mostly dirt/sand roads, grassy areas, some rocks, and sometimes pavement. Also, do these tires perform similarly? The Holeshots are an extra 30 bux over the RAZRs, are they worth it? How about the Knarlys? Also, where is the cheapest place to buy tires from? So far the best I've found is Rocky Mountain ATV. Thanks. Stinger Edited June 18, 2005 by Stinger Quote

Stinger 382925[/snapback] I dunno about Knarlys but I know I'd pick Holeshots over Razrs. I have Razrs and a friend of mine with the same exact setup has Holeshots. He pulls outta the hole on me every single time while I am sitting there spinning in the dirt. His do seem softer (both 4 ply) so I would assume shorter tread live with Holeshots but man do they hook up. One bad thing about them is they THROW ROCKS BAD! I can't ride behind him, like I want to anyway but his tires throw rocks the size of baseballs. One hit me in the chest, left a bruise, another hit the face guard on my helmet and cracked it....just make sure you apologize in advance to everyone you are gonna demolish Quote
locogato11283 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 knarlys all the way..heres why.. they are a 6 ply tire yet still lighter than hyoleshot hd or irazr, which imo are the bets tires those people make. also, they are cheaper and with the offset in the tread pattern seem to clear dirt out a lot better. i like theo ther 2 tires but the knarlys are what i run on all my bikes. and yes. i have them all and have run them all...

Shee-Male Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Threr seen to be a number of people running the knarlys and there not that expensive at rocky mountain, personally I find them a little "balloon-y", I run GBC shredders and LOVE THEM! I heard about them in a magazine where a guy won the GNCC nationals on a pair so I thought I'd give them a try and so far so good, excellent tread life and only $40.99ea. @ rocky mountain. No matter what you choose they'll be better than stock! Quote
Stinger Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 Well, I just ordered a set of Knarlys...should be alot better than the worn out RAZRs that came with my Shee... Quote
Dead Op Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 I have a set of dunlop radials, they don't wear and hook up hard. once i smoke out this set im gettin knarlys. Quote
locogato11283 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Well, I just ordered a set of Knarlys...should be alot better than the worn out RAZRs that came with my Shee... 383145[/snapback] you have made a good decision. you are gonna like those tires... Quote
fast500#12 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 recreationtire.com is the cheapest ive found for all tires. i bought my paddles on douglas red dots for $155 shipped $70 less than rocky mountain. and the shipped way fast not that rockymoutain doesn't ship fast. Quote
Banshee~ Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Any tire will wear like crazy on pavement. My holeshot xc's have lasted 8 months on flint rock and trails plus they hook up good. Quote
Stinger Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 Well, Rocky Mountain was sold out even though it didn't say so on their site...they say they won't have more until August 10th at th earliest. My total from RM was 117, I tried recreationtire.com and it was 158.00. I refuse to pay that much. Where else should I check for a good price on Knarly's? Thanks. Also, what is the advantage of running 20-11-9's instead of 22's? Should I go with 20's? I have stock sprockets. Quote
fast500#12 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 get a dirt wheels and look through the ads Quote
Stinger Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 Any other suggestions for online sources? I live in the sticks and have to drive 110 miles round trip to buy a magazine... Quote
locogato11283 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 yea man go with 20's. thats what i run on my 450 and banshee. i bought a set of 22's for the project bike but its gonna need them. i wouldnt run more than 20s on my other bikes tho. call them back and order the 20x11x9...gearing is a minor issue and can be fixed easily.

zilladude Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 I just ordered a set of Knarly's from Dennis Kirk. They have them in stock & will match Rocky Mountains price if you call the order in. Quote
