my brother has been running them for the past two years. seems to be doing well on hard pack and he rides ALOT and hasnt had any issues with wear etc. i wasnt a fan of them but id say they are a good tire based on what ive seen.

I have them and they are ok. They wear pretty good. The only thing I don't like is they either slide out too much or you get to much traction and wheelie. There is really no in between:ermm:

I had them for 2 years, very tough and lasted well. Good traction, fairly inexpensive too.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think all around for a recreational racer, these are one of the best tires. I've tried nearly every tire combo possible. As far as rears, I've had Holeshot MX, Holeshot MXR4, Holeshot SX, Kenda klaws, grooved and ungrooved turf tamers, shredders, and razr mx briefly. I love these knarlys! The price is unbeatable, and the traction is excellent. From the places I've used them so far, they seem to hook up the best in really soft dirt. They seem to find traction where my holeshots wouldn't, and on my mostly cement starts, they seem to grab better off the start. They do wear quickly though, but I wouldn't say any qucker than the soft holeshots I've run. They also are slightly heavier so I probably wouldn't use them on a nearly stock 400ex or anything less.

Running these on an 05 450R with 11:1 piston HRC cam and Full exhaust w/ UNI.

Next time I get tires, Im ordering two sets of them. two thumbs up for me.
