Ok , I just realized this tonight.
A few years ago when I bought my 300ex. it came with tires that were pretty much shot, they held air but were totally bald.
I drove it for a good 6 months till I had enough money to buy, new tires for it. I put these new tires on (yes 4 ply front and rear)
And what happends , I get flats.
Then 2 years later I get my 400ex , with all o.e.m tires.
I run it for 3 months till the tires are totally shot. They held air but were completely bald.
So i puy razrs for it. (4 ply) and what happends .... I get flats....
I replace my stock fronts with kenda klaws, and what happends , My kendas get flats.
I don't understand it. The 2-plys work better for me than the 4ply!

If you didn't put a hole in those Outsu 501's than you are not doing something right:confused2

The rears were like swiss cheese when I got it and I continued the trend. The fronts lasted around a year longer, but I think I pay more attention to those when going thru stuff.

Then there was the kenda klaw front that didnt last a full day (first ride on them) at hatfield Mc coy.

Where are you getting the holes? I have not got one in the tread except for the oem ohtsu's.

stockers are crap. I have 8 plugs in the side wall(one hole) and 1 plug up on top on my front left tire.....

You think you have problems, I have a friend that for some reason would ruin the electrical system of any motorized vehicle he got it. I didn't believe him so I told him to jump in my car. He sat in the passengers seat and sure enough my fuel pump died in a few minutes, turn out he was sitting over it.

He has never own a car or scooter that ran for more than 2 weeks.

When I got my 400, I quickly learned to carry about 20 tire plugs and a can of fix-a-flat with me everywhere. Not much better luck with my Holeshots, though.:ermm:
