42.99 for the rear, and 38.99 for the fronts (rocky mountain), both are 6ply. But let me tell you they are not much heavier than the stockers...

UH Rico, them bad boys are not marked up much at all, and that is only one of the many great reasons to own them. Alot better than them stinkin razers, holeshots!!!

I know where there is a whole set front and rear new for a good price!!

why is that better to run them? Are they actually good tires, i HEARD that if there is any moisture on the track they are horrible, is this true?

does anybody know how the knarly's do on hard pack? do they slide around like crazy? i ride on mostly hard pack but some loose stuff. what would be better for me Holeshot XCR's or the Kenda Knarly's. i will be getting 20x11x9's.

I'd say go with the Knarly's, I rode most of summer on hard pack surfaces and they hooked up awesome and slide great when you want them too also.

are they a little smaller than 20" or a little bigger, or the perfect size?

Well i got the Klaw rears and first off They Stink in Sand when they are turned around for hard pack. im sure if they were turned in the paddle direction they would be good.. As for hard surfaces hardpack grass asphault they are awesome! hook up great and slide even better i can pull out of a berm in 4th at the track and just lift the front end like nothin...i got Razrs up front though i didnt need new fronts.:D

they are just at 20".

i said this before.

I think the gnarley rear will work awesome with a little bit of grooving.

Grooving? I had thought that the reason they want to throw you in a 180 if you get on the throttle even a sec too early in the turns was cause it had too much open space between the lugs?

One thing I can tell you is you will love the way the "dont" wear down.

Have not tried them on dirt. I look out my window and all I see is white! :mad:

Mine were not the greatest in the snow, not the worst either but just not the best.

Remember to try diff air pressure etc., They seem to like a little less than the stockers did.

well my theory is the lugs are large but need grooving to hook up better.

imagine grooving the lugs so they had a hole inside each lug. sort of like the ohtsu lug.

Could be Bee :)

But my thinking is that the compound of the rubber is just a little on the hard side. You need to drop the pressure way down to get extra traction almost like how the drag racers do with the slicks.

Good part of this is that mine are over a year old and look very close to the ones above and they have seen sand dirt rocks etc and roost like crazy.

I like how they don't look huge on the bike like my holeshots do. I have 20x11x9's but they look more like my friends 22's. The Kenda's look close to the stock tires. They look really good. Let us know how they wear.
