Holeshot mxr-4 vs. Turf Tamer for MX

[scottymx9]

YFZ 450 owners who race motocross..... which tire would you say is more preferrable..... the holeshot mxr 8" or the turf tamer 8"? thank you in advance for your opinions.

without a doubt the 8 inch mxr4

I've ran both and switched over to the Kenda Klaw. In my opinion, the Klaw is a much better tire than both. However, between the 2 listed, I'd definitely go with the Holeshot MXR4.

i HAVE NOT RAN kLAWS, but I have raced on bothe turftamers, and Holeshots.

I used Maxxis Razrs 18x10x9 stiffer side wall better tread life, if I had to choose another tire It would be Turf tamers though, Just my opinion, Try riding someones quad with the desired tires to see how they work, then choose for yourself which is best for you.

:D

Good luck out there

i dont have a yfz, but i do race a 250r and i have grooved tamers, IMO they work just as good as the holeshots in mud, and they hook up like regular tamers in hard packed stuff... When i finish buildin my YFZ, tho i think i will try them knarlies out.

I just put holeshots on my 450r and they have incredible traction and they slide pretty good going into the turns.
