want new tires for General Purpose use.

Maxxis Razrs IMO. First they're cheap, around $45 bucks apeice for 20 inchers on 9 inch rims, secondly they are by far the most used rear tire in cross country racing. I know your not a XC racer and I know Im always referring to XC racing... but XC racing is nothing more than extreme trail riding. These XC guys run the tires that give them the best chance of winning thier race. The majority run Razrs. Not Razr 2's, im talkin about the original Razr design. The word on the Razr2's is that they are heavy and don't slide as well as the original Razr design. If you prefer ITP brand tires, their Holeshot tires are almost as good as Razr's design. When the XC guys know they're racing a mud race, they all switch to the radial I-razrs.

 

I personally have ran a coupla different rear tire brands over the years and my favorite is the 20 inch Razr. I love 20 turf tamers too, but they're a thin tire and puncture easy, so don't make the best tire in real world trail riding. They're better suited for a groomed MX track or someplace that doesnt have alot of crap to puntucre your tire. Turf tamers are two ply tires. Razr come in either 4 or 6 ply depending on how much you wanna spend on em.

 

Iv never tried the Klaws. Holeshots seem like a harder rubber than the razrs. The Razrs wear faster than the Holeshots I used to run.

 

Front tires, hands down best tires are the Maxxis Razr2 fronts.
