Duro Tires?

[nastyrider17]

Have any of you run these tires before and how did you like em? They seem like a good deal for only 52$ a tire. If I do end up getting the 22" tires should I go down 1 tooth on the front sprocket? Thanks.

yep drop tooth if u get these tires

[bigbad400]

those tires are good if you pull trees with your 400, why dont you look at the duro race tires burm raiders or something. look alot like holeshots, i paid 60 a tire for them and i use them on dirt roads and pavement and hard trails, so i dont chew up the holeshot hds. :macho there like 100 a tire lol.

there lasting a long time on pavement ant hard roads, they bite good when we get in the woods, they are cheap, and there more of a tire you should put on a 400ex.

[nastyrider17]

I was looking at those and didn't know if they were good or not. How hard is it to change the back tires yourself?

[bigbad400]

its not too bad but my local tire guys will do it for 7$ a tire ill bet you can find someone local with a machine for cheap. also if you need a even more race inspired tire those burm raiders are nice ones for grooving them you can split the knobs if you like. very simple, i actually did a set with a chainsaw. lol i made them directional with a v and they bite way good now, comparative to the maxxis razr. decent tires for sure.

what kind of riding are you doing

[nastyrider17]

Mainly trails and sometimes I'll go to the local sandpit.

[-TheDude-]

itp hd's or xcr's would be perfect

[nastyrider17]

Those are too expensive. My budget for tires is 130$.

[-TheDude-]

youll be wasting $130 lol

Even with the holeshots?

[-TheDude-]

if they are two ply yes u want to go 6 ply 4 ply at minimum

[nastyrider17]

Says this on rocky mountain for the holeshot:


Extremely puncture resistant thanks to heavier-duty sidewall. 4-ply rating.

What ply are the stock tires?

[400man]

i'd highly recomend some maxxis sur trak's. they come in a 22inch size and have the perfect tread for loose terrain like sand/mud and work awesome in the trails with all the traction you would want. http://specialtytirestore.com/sur_trak_tires.htm

heres a old video of my banshee I used to have, it had a set of 22-11x9 maxxis sur traks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrKmREruZnA

[400man]

heres some pics of em mounted

Those look pretty nice. How'd they hold up in the trails because that site says there only 2 ply.

[bkelley]

If you're looking for a good tire at a cheap price, look at Kenda. Kenda Claw XCs are only like $50 a tire and have a 6 ply rating.

They don't have one for a 9" rim...

Try this site: http://www.4atvtires.com/atvTires/showProduct.php?id=3461&cat_id=3

Couple bucks more but they have a lot of sizes.

[bigbad400]

dont let them fool you on the berm raiders they held up just fine on all kinds of trails. i never drove into a brush pile but for what they are its damn good tire. 6 ply rated. another good tire is the kenda knarly they have all sorts of cheap tires out there but i would look at the profile of the tire. you dont want a rounded baloon tire on a ex, it will handle like ****.

i have a good set of dick cepex spider tracks in a 22 inch ill sell for 50 shipped let me know if you want to see some pictures. they are almost bran new prolly 85-90% tread. pm me with a email address if you are interested.
