Best MX tires Front and Rear

[Out_Sider]

i need to know what the best mx tires are for the frotn and rear are.. if they're different brands frotn and rear its ok, how fast they wear isn't a problem, and how much they cost doesn't matter either.

i have holeshot mx fronts and razr mx rears now and i slightly like it over the whole razr combo

[rmw7949]

I like alot of different tires for alot of different track conditions' usually its either a holeshot mx or kenda mx up front and the same in the back except sometimes I run a custom cut turf tamer in the rear if the track is really hard packed. But its hard 2 keep buyin those holeshots when you practice/race alot. I think their about 20$ differance per tire. They are all great tires, just my $.02

[ghak99]

Depends on the track and personal preference. When hard packed, groved radials and cut tamers are hard to beat. Razars work really well in most other conditions.

what about the kenda mx tires?? How are they I know Kory Ellis ran them last year

[EvilJester400EX]

The Kenda's grip ALOT more than my holeshots do.

[jacobw]

so is that good or bad for mx? I run a cannondale and am going to do mx and I know they like to spin the tires alot more from the response of fuel injection so I wonder of they would be good for me? I hope I am going to be buying some.

Holeshot MX Front's and Trimmed Turf tamers in the rear

Kendas front sticks a little better if it is a little slick and it's cheaper.
Kenda rear works good unless its REAlly dry and hard packed then probably Tamers.
Front radials work ok but they give you alot more feedback throught the bars.

IMO, nothing beats good ole 'Tamer rears with some Holeshot MX fronts..

well i went w/ ITPs all around, i had my first race on them saturday and it was VERY hardpacked, i ran 10lbs in the fronts and 7 in the rears... what do ya'll think i should start running?

[300ex73]

I run the MXR4's, and I usually run about 4-6 pounds most of the time. if it's a little softer terrain though, I'll go up to about 8 pounds. That's just the way I like to run them.

[EvilJester400EX]

I run my MX fronts at 12 and I run the rear MXR at 10. For my Kenda rears I use 13psi.

why so high?

[EvilJester400EX]

So the suspension will absorb the bumps, not my tires.

[Rootar]

dang yall run some high air pressure i only run 4-5 pounds no matter what usally 3.5 in the back and 4.5 in the front

[EvilJester400EX]

The higher the air pressure the better cornering will be - less sidewall flex.

[Warnerade]

less sidwwall flex in the corners...also less traction for the holeshot.

[rmw7949]

I like 8or9 in the fronts just so they dont feel "dead" in the corners. But w/all the power in my 450r w/beadlocks I only run 4or5 psi in the rears. W/the power and the beadlocks I can still slide em but still have good traction out of the corner.

[EvilJester400EX]

You get used to the less traction in the holeshot, afterall, that's mostly reaction times. Mine still has enough traction, still brings the wheels off the ground coming out of corners.

[motoman00440es]

I run kenda klaws up front with like 10 pounds and kenda knarlys in the rear with around 4-6 pounds and the hook up good
