Hey I have been thinking of some new tires to run. I have been looking at kenda klaws or kenda knarlys and I would like to know if anyone has them and how they like them? I ride trails, some mud, some roads, some softer, some coal mines.

the knarlys are more for hard pack and the klaws have a dual rotation tread and is a good all-around tire. i say go for the klaws

Knarlys are more for hardpack? :huh I dunno...mine work great in all conditions except the thickest mud. They slide predictably and hook up when you want them to. So far they are about the best trail tire I have tried.

It doesn't say anything about hardpack on their site for the Knarly HT's or the XC's. It does mention baja for the HT's... (which is what I have).

I would say the knarly HT or XC. The XC's come in 21" sizes so really they are better for rocks/mud.

Rockymountainatv or C&D would be about the cheapest places to get them.

I have a set of HT's bought them to use at Quadfest 2005. Very Rocky and Muddy! They worked great. I have been in frame dragging deep mud and got right thru. I have a friend that has XC's and he climbs loose coal hills like he has paddles! So I would say go for the XC's!!!!
