kawiking Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 i know there is so many tires out there, i run holeshot xcr's on my kfx 400.... love them. well my banshee has a +6 swingarm and as you all know shee's will spend the hell out of tires . im woundering what would be a good tire thats going to hook 4 me. this is more for grass(fields) and dirt roads(hard and soft).. this bike is pretty much used for drag racing ,i hat getting beat off the line because i sit there and spin.i have holeshot hd (bald as hell) right now,bald when i got the bike. u think i should just go with a set of pro wedges ,then to buy a set of holeshots or razrs ??? thanks for the help... .rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodwardspecialties Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 i love the RAZR's..... the front tires, i went with are RAZR2.... they grip so well.... the rear, gripped too well around corners.... i had to switch to RAZRs father than the RAZR2.... either will be a great setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Kenda Klaws with every other row of knobs cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flattrakker Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Razrs take a beating and they hold up forever IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSBansheeDrags Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Razrs take a beating and they hold up forever IMO the pro wedge's probably will hook harder but won't last as long...also, probably give you more top end but slower take off (tires are usually larger in diameter)...may need a change of sprockets to run them well....dbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 dajogejr's right, Kenda's with every other row cut off will hook better for drag racing on grass & dirt than any tire you can put on a Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 How do you take the knobs off? sander or a cutting tool? Also how is the wear when you cut off every other row of knobs? How smooth will the bike ride? And which are the best or either, knarlys or klaws? I have a spare set of 10" rims and i run a lot of grass. What yall said about hooking up well on grass really caught my eye. I am thinking about doing that if the answers are what i like and keeping my 19" holeshots for when i go ride on dirt.

Cannon Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Tyler Clark told me about these tires & how to cut them. I used the Knarleys & cut off the short rows of knobs with a saws-all w/ a course wood blade. I used a copper tire patch wheel on a drill to smooth them off next to the tires carcass. I have ran them for a year now for grass & dirt drags & they hold up excellent, one tough tire. The ride is not bad, not nearly the bump like a paddle tire on hard pack or asphalt. I tried about every tire except paddle brats, trying to hook for drag races on dirt / grass & have found none to compare to this set up. Tire spin is greatly reduced, the launch to me is similar to sand starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
