I'm pricing tire and wheel packages-I want .190 rims-ITP or DOUGLAS--which is better?

Rocky Mountain seems cheapest and they have served me well, so I'm buying from them-I want 21 inch fronts and 20"rears on 10" rims. Either XCR's on rear or RAZR's-want something trail/X-Country/Handling oriented. Holeshots are more expensive and the XCR's are out of stock, should I just go with the RAZR's? They look like they'd clean out better anyways, especially the fronts.


Any cheaper deals than Rocky MTN?

Any opinions??

Thanks again!!

Just go with the Razrs. Worked good for me so far!

Rocky Mountain is the only place I get my tires. Even with my sponsorship they are still cheaper!
I have heard good things about the razors. I just put on 20" razor mx fronts on mine. I don't have much ride time on them but I like them so far. I have Holeshot rears that have been on for over 2 years. They are not getting the bit that they use to but I was happy with them too.

Yes the Razrs are very good Tires. RM is hard to beat when it comes to Tires/Rims, but PM Jeff and see what he can do for you.

You can even buy the tires from the internet now....I just bought a set of 20x10x10 10 paddle haulers on douglas 160 for $248.52

Here's what I wanna do:

21" on front instead of 22's

Keep 20" on rear, but on 10" rims instead of 9's, and kinda fix my stockers for a set of winter/snow tires...they will be fine for that.

I think I'm leaning towards Razr's, cause they're cheaper, look like they'd clean out more, and have just as many or more good opinions as holeshots.

Sound good?

Thanks

stick with the 9 inch rims and get some snow/winter tires mounted on 10 inch rims if you get 22inch tires.

What about Bandits?

21" on front 20's on back/10"rim

4 ply's, not the heavy 6ply models.


How are they all around, at sliding and stuff, hill climbing, streams...stuff like that...as compared with the razr's?

Would the 4 ply models weigh that much more than 4 ply razr's or holeshots? And compare the traction in all condition/all season riding please.


Thanks!

i hate razors i liked them at first but umm they suck!!

anyone that i ride with can tell you that.. they get no grip on hills what so ever .... i cant wait to get my bald ex tires back and give thoughs razor away .. those damn things will not catch grip and if you bought some i would stay away from washed out hills cause you aint going anywheres take it from me i had to be pulled off 3 hills and also 1 time it about didnt make it on all 4 wheels

Were the Razrs worn down? I have never heard any problems like that with the Razrs.

I think Razrs are great, I've had mine for close to a year, and I they hook up great on hills. I have no problems on hills that my buddy's 400 w/ factory tires has trouble with.:huh
