I'm thinking about picking up a pair for the rear of the quad. My friend has them on his warrior and they are pretty badass. He had no trobule getting through stufff that i was wide open spinning and getting somewhat stuck.

Razr2's are they way to go! Holeshots rubber is to soft so it wears down fast, Razr2's are the best out there for recreational riding in my opinion!:D

They are the "sp" version of mudlites. They are for sport quads and are available in sport sizes, such as 20 inch rears. My buddy had em on his 07 450r and they did really well.

I'm just saying if you want a tire thats good for one thing (mud) get the mudlites but if you want a tire thats good for everything (mud, dirt, grass, rocks, sand) then go with the razr/holeshots. If all you do is ride mud then sorry to say it buddy but you have the wrong bike!

you guys should research a little before you start ragging on something you dont know anything about. XC races can get pretty gnarly when its been raining alot, i might grab a set myself.

I tend to hit alot of muddy trails and these tries seem to handle everything quite well.

Those tires don't look nice on a race bike but if they work good who cares. I use Rzr2 all around and I find that get me throu anything I need to and they take a long time to wear down I don't like ITP for this reason if you drive on the road at all they wont last long. If you need mud tires on a race quad you got the wrong kind of bike for what your doing you need a reneagde or something.

They suck for anything but mud in a straight line. They do not corner worth a crap and anyone that says otherwise has either never ridden a good xc tire, or they're just full of it.

Leave the mud tires for the UTE riders and get a REAL sport quad tire. As others have said, if you wanna woller around in the mud go buy a ute.

these tires corner great they slide good and they dont wear out very fast and look at that tread you know their going to hook up

well when I get a heavy 4X4 I'll put those heavy useless tires on it. but I drive a sport bike so I'm gonna put sport tires on it. just seems like common sense to me

first of all buy what you want, i dont think you would like them very much. i really like the hd's and think they work great in the mud and for other things. these tire look to have really open pattern which could allow for a bigger chance of flats!!!

i have the regular mudlights size 22-11-9 on my 300ex. the tires are a dream in the spring and winter. in the summer tho there is just to much traction! they always bite in and just dont spin much. its hard to keep the front end down. insane traction isnt good all the time i guess. but oh ya i own the hill climbs with them

man i dont know about the razr's back when i had my 400ex i had them on there and sure there good for trail riding on hard dry surfaces but thats it. n everyone knows the trails arent exactly all flat n dry. n razr's are deff not the way to go for hill climbing if ur into that like i am. i rolled the 400 a bunch of times down the hill due to the razr's bein to hard n spinnin n not grabbin. i personally like the stock honda tires or itp track stars there soft but not to soft n both work greaT for all around ridin exept pavement lol. i personally will never put razrs on my bike again it cost me to much time n money. but idk wha kinda ridin ur doin but we do hills n trails n not so much track. so id get something softer. my girlfriends bike has the mudlights on it its a 250ex n its goes wherever u want it to no problem n they can sling some mud too i covered a few buddies on 450s with them haha but i run trach stars n stock hondas on my bikes with nothing but good reviews from me.
