yea razr 2's are great tires, i loved mine, yea there are tires that will hook better in different conditions, but the razr2 is a great all around tire if your not doing mx or something along those lines, when i had them i rode on all different terrain, and they worked great, they are a great all around tire and last way longer than itp's which are definatly a softer compound and have the split knob design, which will hook up better of course, but not last as long as the harder beefy single knobs the razr2 uses. they got a nice sidewall too, very meaty, and dont j udge them by the pictures on the internet, they must have 50psi in those things or somethin, because they are not balloon like they look, they are very flat, and handle great, i switched to gncc's cause they hook up so great, but they wear horrible, too soft, and the split knob is great for traction but they just get destroyed.
