i would recommend the holeshot HD's. even tho they are a 20" tire and i dont know if you would want to run that but they are great for all around terrain. especially what you are doing.

ya for the klaw's i would say they're more for track and trail racing. but they would also do. i would still say HD's are your best bet for what you do and they have a super long lasting tread on them unlike the klaws. so even though they're more expensive they will last you at least 2-3 times as long.

not a problem man. ya thats what i like about the hd's. how long they really last. i had a friend who had razr's and i had my hd's and he went through 3 sets before i even wore the edge's off. haha

Holeshot GNCC's They are lighter than the HD's and bite and slide much better.....I am putting them the whole way around on my LTR when its done. I really liked my IRazr's on the 450R but they wear way to quick and are really heavy.

Weight is a killer on the HD tires. I like them but they are much hevier than the same 6ply XCR. I ride desert so we need extremely tough tires. The XCR has been the best so far. I have tried kenda, razors, and few others even Pereili( spelling sorry) and i just like the XCR. We do not get much mud really, but the ground when wet is slimy and they hook very well even in rutted trails.

1 lb of tire is 8 for rotating mass so choose carefully. The lighter the better, and make sure it fits the type you need. I tried the gncc tire and have sold them they are very close but the XCR seems to fit our conditions best.
