i either want to run ITP MXR4 or the kenda klaw mxf

i need to know which tire gets the best traction and will last the most races.

If you had your choice of any I would go with those new ITP SX tires. They hook up awesome from what I have heard!! my 2 cents

Well as long as you just use the MXR4's ONLY on the MX track, they will last a long time. Ive done 6 races and around 7 all day practices and they are still around 70-80% tread...also rotate em when they need it.

Why not maxxis razrs? I love mine and they last a long time. I have never ran the ITP's but i have had a set of klaws before the razrs and can honestly say that I like the maxxis tires better.

mxr4's hook up but down slide as good as klaws. My klaws all around have given me holeshots in races and slide superb around corners, just the way i like. MXr4's are more glued to the ground

From my experience the Kenda's aren't that great, Aside from the fronts, the fronts are awesome, but the rears just don't hook up hard enough, but then again, I'm an ITP guy and will always run MXR4's on loose, and SX's are hardpack :macho

I think the MXR6's are 4 ply still.

do the kenda knarly and razr mx fit on stock 450 rims???

i ran the klaw tire last year and it performed very well but i feel i need more of a bite on the holeshot..... should i flip them and run them on the soft side for more traction...

wait for the new kenda's. my buddie got a prototype set from kenda about 2 weeks ago.they look like they will be better than the klaw that's out now. he will be running them for the first time at texas. we'll see what he thinks

Klaws last the longest, and MXR4's hook up better. The new mxr6 is still only a 2 ply just like the mxr4's
