Which tire will last longer? I pretty much have my mind set on the Klaws but just doing a little bit more research.

Kendas rubber compound is far better than ITP's when it comes to longitivity. IMO, Kendas hands down.

I ran a set of kenda klaws one xc season and they still have about 98% tread life. Great tires really liked them

I just got a set of Kenda Klaw XC's f/r a couple of weeks ago and really like them so far. I was set on getting some ITP's but was convinced otherwise by so many people saying how great the Klaws were and how long they last. So far so good.

what size Klaws do you guys run? i'm looking at 20x11x10 (i have a set of 10" wheels laying around) and 21x7x10's....would this be a good combo?

oh these are going on my 400ex

that would be a good combo for your 400ex and yes the klaws will last longer than the holeshots but you will sacrifice a little bit of traction. I like both tires but the kendas are much less expensive..

the fronts seem to run kind of short I would get the 22 in front the 20s in back are fine

If you can afford it, I'd really look at getting some 9x9 rear rims. Those 10's are going to take a beating on an XC course w/ 20" tires.

But, that's purely opinion. ;)

just ordered up my Klaws...so i'll give a review of them in a few weeks....the snow should be pretty much gone here by then.

I have the klaws. I like them better than the holeshot hds I had.
