My opinion I think They'll last longer than the holeshots. I think its because of the different tread pattern. The lugs are a bit larger and dont flex as much

I've got 22" Bandit XC's on the back of my 400 and run 4 pounds of pressure and have had no problem with them coming off the bead. They are kindda heavy though but I love mine.:D JMO

I love Kenda tires! I have the Klaws and the Knarly's ! I think you should go for the xc tire instead of the mx. The mx will wear too fast and they're only 4 ply where the xc is 6 ply. Even with the 6 ply, they're alot lighter than Bandits! They weigh twice as much! I've been that route! I've been running my Knarly 20x11x9 for over a year and a half with no probs and they still have 90-95% tread left!! :macho :D

So your saying the Klaw XC wear very slow and weigh half the amount of bandits? sounds like I found a tire. Do they hook up good?

I only run about 2 and 1/2 lbs of air in my Bandits..never had bead trouble. I've been running them for a few years too.

Do u know a site that I could see these tires?

Bill Fuller
09-27-2003, 11:50 AM
Sorry not sure of a site.They a flat like a Razr and they are 6 ply I think at least 4 ply.I may be wrong about it being a 301 but once you see one or ask around you will know which ones they are.I am pretty sure though they are 301's.

Where at let me see I'll tell you if it's the one.It is definatly not a balloon tire.

The picture I seen on Ohtsu's site looks like a ballon but that is not correct.That is the tire I am refering to.
