macgillivary Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 i guess another question would be what is a durable mx tire too when i am not at the track i like to rip around the gravel pits and dirt pits I found with the turf tamers I was constantly tearing holes in the sidewalls from sharp rocks knarlys 4 ply or 2 ply?

Coupelx Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I love my razr2s. the amount of shit they throw up when i ride on sand and loose pack is amazing, they have to be doing something in the way of traction. i can usually wheelie pretty easy in sand too something thats hard with most dirt tires for me.

dajogejr Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Holeshot XCRs. Hook pretty good, wear well...and are 6 ply tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET 99 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Holeshot XCRs. Hook pretty good, wear well...and are 6 ply tires. i second that . 6 ply is a little heavier but make a diff in the tire performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThE_BaNsHeE_mAn88 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 ok you dont use 6ply tires on a mx guys you just dont do it. razr 2's are cross country tires big 21 to 22in tires you never see thoes on the mx track they are bad ass tires but not mx tires! if you want good a mx tire for sand and loose dirt go with eather the holshot mxr 6's or the kenda klaws i have ran them both and the hook up amazing i like the klaws because you can flip them around for hard packed tracks too and the last long too and they are tough. the mxr 6's hook up amazing too and you can go a season with out have to buy new ones if you only race and nothing else i do the same thing you do and my mxr 6's dont last very long like that. i have heard good things about the razr mx's but never ran them i think im going to get thoes next. but what ever you do dont get anything else then 18'' tires for racing mx maybe 20'' tires if you going to do other things but i havent ran anything but 18's for 3 years and i go ever where my friends with 20'' tires do so thats not an issue. never bent a rotor eather knock on wood :beer: Derick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxbansheexxx Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 wouldnt just holeshot mx's work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 wouldnt just holeshot mx's work fine yep, just buy a pair of 18-10x9 holeshot mxr4's and you wont regret it I promise. the knobs are pretty tall and well spaced and most of all they are really really soft which helps hook up good on hard pack to loose loam and sand.

Michael Jackson Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 yea they dont use 6 ply tires for mx.. all the guys i see in dirtwheels got those kenda sx or whatever they are called, the holeshot mxr4 or those new razr cross ones , those seem to be the most popular from what i see in the books with guys and their mx 450's and razr 2's only come in 20 and 22 rears , no 21's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoushRacing13 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had good luck with the Holeshot MXR6's. Ran an entire season with little wear. Never trail rode with mine, though. I will say that they hook the banshee up great. Most of the tracks I race on are tore all to hell from motorcycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 if you want good a mx tire for sand and loose dirt go with eather the holshot mxr 6's or the kenda klaws i have ran them both and the hook up amazing i like the klaws because you can flip them around for hard packed tracks too and the last long too and they are tough. the mxr 6's hook up amazing too and you can go a season with out have to buy new ones if you only race and nothing else i do the same thing you do and my mxr 6's dont last very long like that. ^agree But, if you have the money I would say go for the mxr6. Wont last as long and is more $ but the overall performance is better than a klaw. The holeshots are way more predictable than the klaws imo. They slide when you want and hook when you want. I will be riding holeshots from now on. May try the mxr4's though, just to see if the lifespan is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
