Hello everyone,

I`m looking to buy some tires and wheels, maybe a beadlock too.

1- My first question is: is it worth paying the diference of $20 bucks on the Razr !! instead of Razr I ?(seems a lot for me!)

2- I`m looking to buy some beadlocks, actually only two, I race harescrambles wich one to buy?(I wanna avoid flat tires). Rear or Front?

3- Is the ITP T-9 Pro Baja considered a beadlock? I`m asking because they are a lot cheaper than Douglas Beadlocks. Are they good?

4- Do I need to get some new Wheel Rubs if I get the beadlocks or the stock will fit?

Thanks in advance, I`m really lost in here!

hey man, ir your not racing MX and your racing XC and stuff pay the extra $20 to get the Maxxis Razr 2's they are alot more agressive and they are a harder rubber condpound i do beleave so they will last you longer. For beadlocks I'd say get rear's but if you could save up another $400 or so I'd just save and get all 4. I'm pretty sure that the T-9 Baja wheel is not a beadlock. But they are still sweet.

Buy a set of 4 USED Douglas Ultimate BILLET beadlocks. By far the BEST return for your money. Step up the plate and buy Razor 2's!

the Baja rims just have a reinforcing ring that helps the rim from gettting smashed. I love the razr's but I'm guessing the razr 2's are just that much better.
