I had Holeshots on last year and they just spun so i thought i would invest in some inexpensive but pretty good tires. Are the ones i posted in the link alright?

Or what would be some pretty good tires under 50 bucks apiece?

I know some people swear by the stock rear honda tires. I used to get on bansheehq and some of the guys that done the hillclimb competitions on there said they were the best for traction cause of the knob spacing.

what all is done to your bike?

And everything in my sig is done to my 400ex.

Well, they were only 30 bucks for the rear tires so that's why i posted paddles. How would they work in hard packed dirt?

Unless your duning or drag racing or hill climbing I wouldnt buy paddles, but the ams sand snakes are the best ones you posted.

Razrs are a good all around tire if you wanna spend a lil more money. Or I would say get some kenda scorpians for your price range.

Ok well i was going to get tires specifically for the drag racing so that's why i was going for cheap paddles.

How much are the Kenda Scorpians though?

Oh, I must have read the title wrong before.

Ya, the AMS sand snakes are your best bet for sure.

I use skat trak 8 paddles on mine, I really need 12 or 14 paddles but for your EX the 8 paddles will be fine, if you can afford it get the 4 snows.

Yeah i heard a few good thing about them 4 snows. And i would get razrs but there is no way i can afford them with me driving my truck and spending about 90 bucks to fill up the tank on 2 days of work a week. I guess i'll look into them 4 snows and them ams sandsnakes when it becomes the time.

Anyone got any more opinions?

yes the stock ohstu 501 are awesome. 2 years ago they were only $60 a piece but im not sure now. chk the for sale section you might get some cheap and close so no shipping.
