stock size factory swingarm... i was thinkin about gettin a-2 but was'nt sure it would give me traction, now i know........how much traction did u get out of it.....i spin through the top of fourth!!!!!! more info please...thankss dude

I'd say cut turf tamers or bulldogs. I think the bulldogs will be my next set of tires. The kenda klaws seem to be a good tire to. I haven't tried any of these out though so

[sheeboy94]

right now i run holeshot mxrs and mx in front...dont know what tire to go to next they hookrd good before they wore down..mightntry new mxr4's on rear they say it takes double the time to wear down....don't know yet but what are bulldog's? what tire u runnin...what type of ridin

[fixitrod]

Okay, I got my tires mixed up. The current Kenda Klaw use to be called a bulldog

Here's the web site http://www.kendausa.com/atv/sport.cfm?p=05

Here's a pic

 

The current kenda knarly (I though was the klaw) use to be called a desert dog. Here's a pic

 

 

Problem is the knarly is more for rec riding because it does not come in a 18" tire.

The Klaw will most likely be my next tire. I spin my razors to much.

It will give more traction because of less travel amd more weight to the ground..

[sheeboy94]

how do holeshot mxr4's hold up if anyone has tried them.....also lookin at "18 inch kenda mxf, or turf tamers.........thanks need more info

[bone450]

I have a -2 swingarm and have 18x10 inch turf-tamers and have plenty of traction. The turf-tamers are cheaper also. I noticed that most of the pros these days are running holeshots so I am going to try those out for my next set of tires. Since you are doing mx make sure you get an 18" tire.

I've got 18" Klaws w/a -2 swingarm. I've ran 20" Razr's, but they don't compare to the Klaws on an MX track. If you're thinking about the -2, and don't want to fork out a bunch of money, give Gary a call at Quicksand. Cheap, and looks good too, it's hard to tell it's cut and re-welded.

i would go with the Razr MX tires, i can't spin the rear wheels without doing a wheelie, i tried these and they work excellent, best traction tires for mx, better than holeshot mx tires, i have holeshot mx tires, but i am switching to razr mx, i tried the razr mx tires on my friends quad and these tires really grabbed the dirt good didn't spin once, i can't powserslide around a corner on dirt, it goes on 2 wheels if i try, these tires work very good, try them, you won't be disappointed

For the ultimate hook up. You should go w/ the -2 swingy, w/ grooved turfs, and most certainly a smaller rear sprocket. Lonestar makes a rear sprocket hub that would accomadate a 250r sprocket which uses less teeth than a banshee. This will help higher the gear ratio, which will make every gear seem not so short. It'll even help w/ less tire spin. And I've seen it work on many of the pro's who race banshee's.

Bio-hazard shee why wouldnt u want to powerslide into a tight turn or somthing. If u say is true about the razr mx's i wouldnt buy them if someone paid me to or u just dont know what u r talking about. I run 18" mx rear tire on my shee and they wear good and seem to hook up real well for me. All i do is mx my shee doesnt see trails or anything else.

id get your swinger cut -2 or maybe even 2 1/2 and get the kenda klaws they seem to be pretty good,

[nathan_sayre]

razr 2's are killer mx tires if you're gonna be running in loose sandy soil, hope you've got deep pockets though, cause they're high dollar tires
