Under normal riding conditions (not constantly on pavement/cement), how long do you get out your tires? And what kind. I have Kenda Klaw XCR 6 ply.

My stockers are getting pretty worn after almost a year. My riding is mostly desert conditions, but the ocassional river bottom with all of the small rocks and pebbles are what really chew up the tread blocks.

really depends on tires and conditions. the stockers are fairly soft so i usually only get a little over a year out of em, but my holeshots, i cant get em to wear even when i try. had them for about a eyar and a half and who knows how long the previous owner had them and they are showing minimal wear.

That's weird^^ Holeshots are mx tires and aren't supposed to be to lasting. How long your tire lasts will depend on where you ride, how hard and what kind of tire it is.

depends on which holeshots. they have regular one, XC, xcr, xct, MX, SX, HD all made by ITP under the holeshot name. i have the Holeshot XC adn cant seem to wear them out, i want new tires but cant see throwing these away with atleast 80% tread left.

My rear stockers "lasted" well their still going, that'd be 5 years... But they are pretty much bald now, and have been for some time. They've got a few plugs in them aswell, but I still love them for riding in dry conditions. I like having them let loose for the corners etc. My front tires are Front max from Kendra and they're still good to go and are 4 Years since I've had them.

I ride trails, pit's, mx, rocky terrian, just about anywhere I can, with some road riding.

I've heard good things about Bandits for the road, but not that great for trails... But nothing good about any other tires that would be good for both.

I've been running the maxxis razr's for a while now and have found the rear's last me about a year.(that's just dirt riding, no pavement or concrete at all) I'm into my third year on the fronts, just luck I guess. Every other tire I've ever run on the front seems to get torn up one way or another way before the tread is gone.
I'm running the razr 2's now on the rear so hopefully they last even a little longer than the original Razr's.

my rear tires lasted about 6 months but i used to ride none stop all day in my neighbors field untill they sold it to an uptight family.... see they kicked me off their land and seeing how i had already built a numerous amount of trail they bought two quads and never have even invited me to ride with them.....since they are the only people that live around me i will occasionally take the baffel out of my exhaust and ride the track in my backyard to remind them im still here......but when i rode my 400 before i had all the trails it was an oval track and my right front was more worn then my left front cuz of the corners.... it was kinda funny... i never ride on pavement either

I unfortunately have bandits and they dont seem to wear to much. Thats about all their good for they dont hook up worth crap if it aint completely dry outside.

Well, I guess a year is a considerable amount of time. I imagine those of you who get a year out of them ride alot?
