kb01shee Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Me and Sangrencivic2k1 were dragin on my dad in laws grass drag strip 1/8th mile. Neither one of us could come close to hooking up. I know he has the stock tires. i forget what mine are. Anyways we were in 6th and fish tailing all the way down the track. Would holeshots work better?

locogato11283 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 cut knarlys work pretty well on grass..youll never get anything to hook up perfect on grass tho. drag in the dirt.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 the drag i went to this weekend was on hard packed dirt holeshots were common with half of the knobs cut off like loco does to his and realtors were very popular as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb01shee Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 What is the purpose of cutting the knobies off, wouldn't that make it spin worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebomb Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 cutting the knobs out out leaves a gap allowing the remaining knobs around it to act like a paddle or cleat(like on a mud tire) to scoop down at the ground instead of chewing at it.

FasterThanU90 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 RAZRS work perfect for me i perfer them over Holeshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 What about Maxxis 4-Snows? There was a YFZ kicking ass with those on grass last weekend where I rode. I didn't get to race him, though, but on my YFZ with stock tires I was not beating a 450R near as bad as the guy with the 4 Snows was (he said.....I didn't see them race.)

QuadBart Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 the drag i went to this weekend was on hard packed dirt holeshots were common with half of the knobs cut off like loco does to his and realtors were very popular as well 507013[/snapback] Cut Holeshots or Razors work well in the dirt/grass on bike running less than 100 hp. I run 26" Realtors on my bike but ....... I would only recomend them for high HP machines (over 100hp) because they are a HEAVY tire and they are very hard to find now that they are out of production. 4 snows work well in hard pack dirt but realls suck on grass.

trex banshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 the tires i run other than paddles are 20x10x9 turf tamers and i run about 2lbs in them they seem to hook up really well in grass and dirt but for me drag racing a shee your not gonna get the full effect until you hit the pavement! get that 450 on pavement and you'll see a totally different outcome.

Blue Duece Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 if you had bald stock tires youd hook on grass with a shorter swingarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
