heres the deal, i got 18 inchh kenda knarlys on my 450, and when i got them, they had to much traction, now the will spin everywhere, but they dont seem to awful worn, i have a extra set of 18 inch tamers, how do the tamers hook up, i ride mainly on a farm with jumps and ridin on flat land, but sometimes trail ride if its not very muddy, so, if it were u, which wud u use?

i figured id ask and see how turf tamers were before unmountin my knarlys just to find out that the taamers suck poo, and i have to put my knarlys back on

well tamers are very popular with mx type riding so i would say go for it as long as your not getting muddy, etc.

I think of turf tamers as a tire better suited for a two stroke. The reason your kenda's aren't biting as well is they lost their edge. When they were brand new, the tread was sharp, and now it is rounded. Makes a lot more difference than you might think.

i know, the tires went from to much to, no traction, seems like they were perfect for about a week, wut do u think it wud be like if i flipped the tires around, so i have the lip again

Did you try turning the Kenda's around. Not sure if there directional or not but worth a try. Take the left and put it on the right and vise versa.
