cdwood37 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 In my honest opinion spend the money and get you some itp holeshots i have had quite a few sets, they last the best and they have the best traction, if not then get the razr's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim C Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have IRazr's and love them - they really hook up good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 While I haven't ridden with them, I do have one thing against the IRazrs. They only have 1/2" of tread brand new. My 2 year old holeshot xcrs still have that much tread, and I do a devent bit of riding on pavement. They might hold up well, but I would like a little more tread to start with.

locogato11283 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i have run all of the above on the street and dirt. for the money kenda knarlys are byfar the best choice and work the best in different types of terrain. knarlys are a 6ply tire that isnt too heavy. holeshots and regular razrs have a tread pattern that just digs holes in the soft shit. irazrs are better but they weigh a ton. knarlys tread patters works better for most types of terrain. they also lasta long time and are very reasonable. as for cutting them, thats for straight line draggin or hillclimbing only. if you are using them to play leave all the lugs on...

locogato11283 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i dont see how those tires would work. since there is always tread touching the ground how are they able to get a full bite on the tread? by leaving an enitre row out you enable the tire to drop down in between the lugs. when the next row of lugs comes around you get the most bite possible. those tires may work alright but i dont thin they can beat a tire like the knarlys with every other row out...ive tried a ton of tires for hillclimbing, and none have ever come close to the cut knarlys. ive tried the razrs, holeshots, klaws and several more...

gipperz Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Do you guys think that Kenda sport radial would be a good trail tire, I'm running radials off of a honda 400ex( they came with the bike) and was having trouble getting them to bite, swinger is a +2 and I'm 230 lbs. Any Ideas? I do have a stock length lonstar 4130 swinger, should I put that on? Do I dare mix radials and bias tires? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I dont like about the pro wedge2's is they swell up real big and looks like they are going to come of the bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
