I am looking for opinions on buying a new set of drag racing tires for 300' in the dirt. Weight, size, tread are all important. Most of the tracks I run start out hard and get loose. I currently run the 4-snows and 20" holeshots which are screwed. I have heard that maybe the stock Z-400 or the Honda 450R stocks might be a good choice with screws. Any opinions are welcome. Does anyone have any experience running the Dunlops which come stock on the Honda 250ex?

Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

I have a set of 6 Ply Razr 2 Rear tires (20x11x9) with Screws in them on my Mod Banshee and it hooks up so good it will lift the Front. And the best time I have seen with my Shee is 4.86Secs.

 

I'll bet the Razr2's hook good but they are heavy. I Think like 18-20lbs. Anyone know the HP loss per lb on the drivetrain?

 

If you dont want Razr 2s. How about Turf Tamers?

 

The Ohtsu radials that come stock on a 400ex. Light tire and a good tread pattern to start with.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I am torn between stock 400ex, 450r, and 250ex tires.


I have a set of Dunlops that come on the 450R and they were pretty heavy. Here are the weights of tires with rims I had laying around.

Holeshots 4-ply 20' - 18.25Lbs
Bandits 20' - 22Lbs
250ex stock dunlops 22'' - 13.75Lbs
Dunlops (STock 450R I think) - 17.75Lbs
Cheng Shins 18'' grooved - 12.25Lbs
4-snows - 8'' rim 22'' tire - 12Lbs
Stock YFZ - 17.25Lbs

 

Ive been running the holeshot XCR (6ply) for the past year on 190s
Didnt really give the weight of these things much tought until about 2 weeks ago.
They weigh 25lbs each[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
