ply?

[ocotilloboy]

I ride in Ocotillo Wells, where there are a couple rocks here and there but not enough too worry about ply It is all soft sand. But if I get a 6 ply tire will it be stiffer and give me a bad ride and also what is a good, high quality tire and rim(no beads).

The Holeshot HD's rear's and the Razr 2 rear's are very good tires for rocky conditions. But there are others too.

More ply equals more weight also. 6ply is for very rocky cond. and racers.

radials are the most comfortable to ride on..

T-9 rims are look and perform great i have them my self but sometimes the ring on the outside of likes to hold in mud and dirt which makes clean up kinda annoying, i also have a set of Razer2's i love em and they wear great they do weigh a little bit more but when i compared them to my friends HD's i think its worth it, I've also heard the Irazer hooks up good but dunno about any wear on that and being a radial should make the ride nicer but you have to run more PSI so you dont break the bead on a ride... All in all if you dont want bead locks i say go T-9, and for your tire if your a racer and care more about weight than wear its really up to you on what u want to get but if your like me and just like to mess around and race your friends, go with somethin thatll last so your not spendin 200$ every other year on tires.... www.magicracing.com has some great deals also http://www.motosport.com/offroad/index.php has some good deals as well.... as a last word of encouragement... i've got around 200 rough miles on my R2's and i've yet to flop or worry about floppin em....

I went from radials to 6-ply and noticed no differance.

T-9's bend easy.. they are good for track but if you like to ride hard in the trails.. stay clear.. stocks are better for the trail..

radials have a nicer feel when you are just riding on them and turning.. I swap mine back and forth all the time.. depends on what Im doing.. if im just cruising then i put my radials on..

im not sure why u say they bend easy??? they have the simulated beadlock rolled into the wheel for added strength, as for sayin stock ones are better, not on a 400ex my 01 stock honda rims arent near as thick as my T-9's... are you sure this is the rim your thinking of??? http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=311529&nav=4&sMMY=HONDA;TRX400EX;2001

i got t-9's all around and everyone has a ding in it.. its the lip that is not strong against impact.. im not saying the rim is no good.. I like this rim alot.. but if anything got T-9 baja.. worth the eztra money.. reg t9 dont have a rolled edge..

[Stein2088]

i stand corrected.... the whole time i was talking about the T-9 i was refering to the baja its amazing how one word screws me all up lol... sorry bout that... but ur rite the baja is great....

[Kaleigh]

lol.. not a problem.. :macho
