why only maxxis? so many other tire brands that make decent tires? I am a kenda knarly fan, they work well everywhere but in the snow (personal experience)they work great on hard pack and hook up like no other tire i have seen in slick clay. Out of those coice you have though, i like the normal razr for all around stuff.

I would have picked Holeshot HD's for trail riding, but for some reason you don't like them??? :confused:

they wear out too fast. i ussually put 20 or more hours a month on mine and i can't afford to put tires on every 2 or 3 months

I'm buying new tires w/ T-9 Baja's....(sorry Chino, more people said they'd work for my type of riding then not).

I think i'm sold on the Razrs vs. the II's, but I'd love some input!

LOL!!!!

That was just my opinion, but if it were me, I would go beadlocks, just my .02.

Also, you must remember I am no expert!

Good luck with whatever you decide to go with.

Id go with razr II's, I hear they have great traction, and wear longer than razr1's. but just for the hell of it.

go here, the pictures have my brand new razrs on my quad

lol2.....your signature states otherwise!! I would say being sponsored would make you more trustworthy on advice than others. Anywho....I agree on the beadlocks, but I've only got a $300 budget, and I'd like to get rims and tires. I'm not to hardcore (if I was I'd be riding a 450) so I'm hoping the bajas & razr combo will run good.

How much on average will razr II's cost .

I found the best buy was at Rockymountainatv.com. However, I was buying rims and tires as a package, so you may be able to just find tires cheaper elsewhere. Rocky had everyone beat on package deals, at least that I could find. Plus they come pre-mounted so you don't have to screw with that. I got my set of T-9 Bajas with Razrs (not Razr II's) for $287. I think the Razr II's were another $45 or so.

std razrs have my vote cuz i bought front and rear razrs and they are 6 months old and still got tread porbably 45% and they would have more but latly i have been getting crazy on the road.

so these 22 inch razrs lasted 6-7 months and thats with a crap load of riding and ROAD RIDING on them i ride about 1-2 miles on the road just to get to my riding spots so theses tires are OK in my book
not to mention they hook up good.

GL with the tires it cost me 300 for just 4 razrs off of rocky mountian...

ive had holeshot HDs for over a year and i ride about 20-25 hours a month (includes a lot of pavement riding) and they still have about 50% tread on them. i love them they hook up like crazy when needed, and slides when u want them to. i dont think that they wear out any quicker than all the razors ive seen
