Which Tires???

[ChadEXer]

I am getting some new tires and was wanting to know which are best. I will be trail riding and doing some strip racing and possibly MX. Some say Holeshots some say Razrs, but mostly I have heard stock 400 ex tires are the best. What do you guys think??

Stick with the stocker tires until they wear out (or until you get sick of repairing sidewall punctures). I would recommend the razr if you are riding mostly trails with the occasional MX ride. The holeshots are good but they are soft and wear more quickly than the razrs. I don't know how the new holeshot XCRs stand up though.

i have had holeshot xcs on mine for over 1 1/4 year and they still have tread on them but the rims don't hold air bc i bent them so bad...

Did you put the Holeshots on the Stock Rims?

[Tommy 17]

yep... 20x11x9 holeshot xcs 6 ply... if u look at this pic u can see on the back right rim its a flat spot and if u look at my other pic the one that my avatar when its big u can see the dent in the front rim... i bent all 4 of my stock rims...

Did you guys know that ITP now makes 18 MX tires for 9 inch rims??? There the ONLY company that does this,,there gonna make a killen,,but Chad I'm not recommending these fer you,,you need at least 20 inch tires..

How did you bend all 4 rims? I thought the Stock Rims were really strong. I think I`m going to put 20-11-9 6 Ply Razrs on the Rear of mine, and put 22-7-10 6 Ply Razrs on the Front. I`m going to keep the stock rims for now. Is this a good idea?

If you go to the ITP's webpage, it says they don't make holeshot mx for 9 inch rims......they make them 18-11-10 which are for 10 inch rims.

I just seen it in the new dirtwheels mag,,,brand new to the scene. So they might not have it on there webpage either,,just like maxxis is makin 19 front razr's for MX but you can't buy them yet..

I say Razrs for trails and a little mx

I have ridden razrs and holeshots on a 400. The razrs are better for the trails and holeshots are better on a track. I have 20x11x9 6-ply razrs and it seems they will go over almost anything with out poping and they seem to be lasting a long time too. I also do alot of road riding and that took out my stockers in 3 months the razrs are going on a year now and still look like i'll get another year out of them.
