I'm getting ready to order a set of razr 2's for my 400.

Look on this site it has pics of all the gnccn races, I was looking in to getting the New holeshot XCRs or the razr 2s. Looking on there of what every one is running most are running razr 2's.

Some people use them becuase they pay continuency, not becuase they are the best

I always use the holeshot XCR's. They work good enough for me, and are moderatly priced.

I first had the holeshot xct's. They were great no complaints..The I bought some kenda knarlys and they lasted alot longer than the holeshots but didnt hook up near as good no where near the tire the holeshot was..Then I bought some razr 2's and I will never buy anything else.

Are you still able to powerslide well with the razr 2's. I heard they hook up to well sometimes.

Yeah sometimes they can hook up a little to much when they're brand new but after they wear down a little there perfect. The kenda knarly's are more prone to cathing while powersliding than the razr2's but the razrs still hook up better.

What about the kenda klaws. I hear alot of good things. Are they better then the knarlys?

The klaw is a great tire for the price. I paid 38.99 apiece out of rockymountain. The only complaint I have about mine is until I put slime in them I got a flat every ride, especially on the sidewalls. I will be buying razr 2's up front when these are worn down. Ive never had any experience with the klaws on the back.

I've been trying to decide myself between the Razor 2's or the XCR Holeshot's.

On eBay there are rear Holeshot XCR's on ITP .190 Pro Series wheels for $179.99

I have Holeshots on my Banshee that work pretty well, except I think I may need to get better tires because I still don't get the traction I would like (too much power:p )
