Tires Tires Tires!

[yellow400ex05]

What the he!!!!!!! I can't find good long lasting tires that last long that are a decent price unlike the maxxis razr 2's that cost over $80 dollars! I want maxxis but there too expensive are there any other 6 ply tires that last 4 a looong time. I need some that cost around the 50 to 60 dollar range.


I've heard of bandits and i think I've seen them on a banshee my friend has. Are they similar to maxxis because as far as i remember the tread patter's seem very similar. I need something with tough tread. What are the prices of the bandits and where can i find them I tried rockymountain but they aren't listed.
:confused:

Oh boy. Thats gonna be tough for you. Holeshots make excellent tires that last forever...but they are a little bit expencive :( But I dont think you gonna find good tires for 50

I found them!!!!! the maxxis razr's that are exactly the same and are 6ply and they only cost $48,99! But why are the 2's sooo much more expensive than the razr's?

because the knobby on the razr 2 is twice as deep as on the razr 1s.

I have a set of drive x's or x drive's, the tread lasts a while but they are always leakign around the rim

[attaway]

I was at a shop before the LL GNCC to buy a front set of razrs, they only had X-drive from PARTS UNLIMITED the salesman said they were the same as razrs. 1 st race on them about 6 miles they came off of rims, 2 nd race same thing. I went back to razrs because 12 races no flats and they stayed on the rims. The shop said they call the rep & he said they would not help. Any one need a almost new set of front tires 1/2 price?

[yellow400ex05]

Do the razr's last the same amount of time as the razr 2's? and since the stock tire size for my 250 is 22x11x10 What does it mean when ther are 20x11x10 are they just slightly smaller? Are there any bad reasons for it being smaller? I don't think the razr's will last nearly as long as the 2's bc the tread look and seems alot thinner.

Will i lose alot of top speed if i have slightly smaller tires?

Sorry for all the questions I'm just really frustrated right now.

i went threw the same deal as you on my 250. i decided to get some 20 inch tires for mine. it gave it ALOT of bottm end power, but it went ALOT slower on top end speed. but if you ride trails and stuff like that, i would suggest getting some 20 inch tires. but if you ride fields, dunes, sand flats, open spots like that stay with 22 inch tires. the 250 wont eat up tires like most of the bigger bore bikes will because it doesnt break traction alot. 6 ply 20 inch razrs would be great for it;)

kendas, cheap and good as hell imo! I LOVE THEM

[attaway]

2 years ago DW mag tested razr at a baja 1000, one set (4)tires went all 1000 with out a flat, rear were 50% & front were about 70% left.

[Rootar]

yea ive put my 20x11x9 razr2s on my lil brothers 250ex and it had great get up and go but nothing on the top so we took them off after a couple hours because it wasnt anyfun also they really really make it ride harsh very rough if i was you id try the new knarly xc the 21x11x9 looks like it be perfect for the 250ex still have top speed and get some more on the bottom and youd have 6ply too JMO

I just got back from riding, yea got a flat, I tapped a tiny tree with the rim, there went all the air.

[yellow400ex05]

Would i have to get a new rim if i got a 22x11x9? And do the kenda gnarly's last long and are they a tough tread? Would that tire size fit the stock rim?

The problem with what u said is that i ride mostly trails that are mosly straight and i slso ride at some sand and gravel pits.

[Rootar]

ok the stock rear tires are 22x10x9 ok what the numbers are (height x width x rim diameter) so with the stock 250ex's rear wheels being 9s yes they will fit see 21x11x9


oh and actually the rear stock tire may say 22 but they are only a little over 21 1/3

and most aftermarket tires are the exact size stated height wise

and yes teh gnarlys will last a long time on your 250ex

[yellow400ex05]

How's this? 22x11-9 Is that sized any better than the tire size you mentioned or is the one you mentioned the good size? I want some other peoples opinions too.

[yellow400ex05]

Bump!

KENDA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[m_townsgreatest]

KENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats all i have to say, If money is the problem, then buy kenda they are good tires, and are for most part inexpensive!

[yellow400ex05]

Read my last post and tell me wether the tire size i mentioned is ok or too big. And is what rootar said about the stock tire size true? I want someone elses opinion on it too.
