Best front tire on the market I think. I'm using them right now and don't plan on using holeshots ever again...:D

I know you are looking for fronts but the Kenda Knarly's for the rear are awesome! I have no complaints about them. You won't be going wrong with buying Kenda. I run Ohtsu fronts with my Knarly's.:D

19 and 20 are the only size front Holeshots you can get.

I ran the 19's and they suck. They are way to small and you will feel every bump you run over with them. Hit a 2 inch deep rut in the track and it feels like you ran over a telephone poll. 19 inch front tires are too small IMO,,I love the 20 inch kendas on mine now...much much better and they hook up 1000 times better than the ITPs.

Also the Kendas are cheaper than the ITP's too....

They are wikid tires.
The tread design is so simple though. Like there has been so many front tires made over the years with almost the same tread design and all kenda did was changed it around a bit and made them into smaller sizes.
Its awesome.
I love mine.

I have yet to ride the new klaws but i run the razr MX 18 rear and 20 front and love them. Guess its time to see them new klaws so i can compare.:eek2: :macho

Sweet tires! I've been thinking about a set of these for my 300. How light are they compared to Holeshots? I really don't want a heavy tire because it really seems to slow me down.

Well, I am joining the bandwagon of interest on the kenda's. What kind of money are we talking here for xc 20's and 22 fronts. set of all 4, shipping not included?

But my biggest question here is..traction? Traction compared to the Razor 2...but not on the track, in the woods! anyone?

I am convinced Razor 2's are great tires "but" with the excellent marketing strategy used to promote them, how much of this is promo vs truth.

Hey bmw500hp, I have a full set of the Klaws. I race Harescrambles and I love the tires. I can't compare them to the razr2's because I haven't rode on a set, but I did have the regular razr's before. I think they get just as much traction in the mud as the razr's do. when the trails are wet the front klaws work better when you flip them around and run them backwards. I got my tires from Lesteratv.com. He was the cheapest place I found. I think he is selling them for $195 for a full set.

The Kenda MX tires are 4 ply as opposed to the usual 2ply mx tires. Better for general riding!:D

They do work great but the flat angle of the tire make it ride much rougher than a rounded profile tire. I ran them and that was the only complaint I had..

kenya:confused: are those the real skinny tires:D lmfao


i run KENDA klaw fronts and so far i like them over the razor fronts. they track better in mud and seem to out handle the razor fronts so far.

LOL, Jambo!

have not heard of KENYA tires...but may be going on "safari" soon and maybe something should know more about...would expect the tires do well in jungle conditions and desert plains...lol, i have heard brush loppers included with each pair. "ungowa"!

Asante sana,
