Is anyone running the new Kenda tires for XC? I know they are suppose to be good for MX. They have a 6ply XC version I was thinking about getting vs. Razrs or Holeshots.

do a search, there are several threads about them. They seem to get a pretty good review.

I'm running the Klaw XCF's in a 21 inch tire. These tires have my full confidence. They held up at a race where I bent both of my OMF inner/outer ringed front rims. Both the inner rings bent but one of them cracked the weld as well. One tire has a small gouge in it but not too bad.

I'm running the Knarly in a 20 inch for the rear.

I don't know about the Klaws, but I had a set of the Knarly's in 22", which they advertise as a "extreme racing" tire and they sucked. I'm runnin orig razr's now and they don't hook up as well in the mud, but the difference in handling is like going from a utility quad to a sport.

I won't be getting Knarly's. They look a little like the All Traks which don't handle so well either. I currently run 20" Holeshots for XC. I am looking for another set of tires for races that are extremely muddy. Debating between the Razrs, Holeshot XCT, and the Klaw XCF. Planning on getting 22".

I just purchased (from C&D Racing) a full set of the klaw xc series tires. 22" 4 ply in front and 20" 6 ply in the rears. I am planning on a big write up review for these this next week. I have only had one day on them so far and that was to do the sand testing. So far I love them seeing as I have only run stockers on mine and rode a friends who had Holeshot XC's. They hook up suprisingly well in the sand but watch out when you rotate them to the soft direction. Then the roost is a spitting and you can wheelie through the sand as good as the stockers. From what I have so far:
Stocker Fronts:
weight: 12lbs with stock rims
real size: 21 3/4" tall x 6 3/4" wide with 1/2" tread depth
Stockers rear:
weight: 14 1/2lbs with stock rims
real size: 20 1/8" tall x 10" wide with 1/2" tread depth
Klaw XCF 4ply:
weight: 13lbs with stock rims
real size: 21 7/8" tall x 6 1/2" wide with 1/2" tread depth
Klaw XCR 6 ply:
weight: 17 1/2lbs with stock rims
real size: 20 5/16" tall x 9 7/8" wide with 1/2" tread depth
