i just got mine on the rims today and im heading to the track with them tomrow ill let u know

I'm running the 18-10-8 rears and 20-6-10 fronts. iv noticed they wear down pretty quick if u ride on clay tracks or any kind of slick hard surface. They grip on everything though. All around good tire for the price.

Those are probally pretty good, the best paddle tires are staggered and some people shave razrs to be like paddle tires.

These are staggered paddle shaved razrs....lol.

They look really cool, give it a try if your willing to test it!!!!

[timo_d135]

I bought those tires and did not even run them if you run in really rocky terrain then they will be to small I mounted mine and put air 5psi in them they measured out to 18.75 inches tall way to low for the ridding that i do but they did look good I returned them the next day

[dave07ex]

What size did you order? Anyone else running these, can you provided actual measurements?

[OldGuyonaQuad]

Yea the reviews are all good and that price is very tempting but because they don't list what ply they are I am assuming they are only 2-ply. I am ordering the HD's (see link below)they are 6 ply and yea 2x the cost but I read they will last me 4-6 seasons where as you might be replacing these after a season or two depending on what type of riding you do and how often.

FWIW:

2 or 4 ply tires are fine if your racing or riding in areas where you wont generally get flats. But the less plys the tires have the more they flex-so a 2 or 4 ply will balloon a bit more than a 6 ply. They of course wear out easier as well b/c they use softer compounds usually

6 ply is king if your going offroad anywhere and not racing. It will not usually get a flat, doesnt balloon at all really and will last a LONG time.

I juste read a few minutes ago on a europian site that they are 6-ply !!!

You were given bad info or you did your metric conversion incorrectly ;) called MS looking for some 6 ply HD fronts and asked about the Artrax you linked he said they are 4-ply. Still a good deal for the price IMHO.

[jpfmotors]

ya they were 4 ply and the ones I ordered were 20inch I sent the pics straight to motosport I dont think I still have them

Thanks for the correction, for the type of riding I do its still perfect
