well im gonna buy new tires for the up comeing XC season and i was thinkign about using kenda bearclas on the back of my EX what do u guys think about the indea? or should i get razr tires im just not sure they have enough bite..ill be using them for rcaing and for some heavy duty mud/mountain trail rideing

 

any help would be nice guys befor i buy these things

 

As far as traction goes, I can't imagine doing any better than RAZR2 tires. The 22" tires definitely rob power from my stock 400ex but it is plenty fast in the woods. Any wide open areas and you will quickly lose a few bike lengths to a comparable quad running 20" tires.

I don't know anyone running the Kenda tires you mention so I can't help you out there.

 

Ive prob ran through about 4-5 sets of bearclaws on my warrior and my ds....and i am now switching to a diff tire...why? because of the weight 22 by 12 by 9 weighs in at 26 pound while the same size razr2 is 17.6 and the mudlite is 16.8 pounds...thats allot of extra weight to turn. The tires are insanely strong and tuff but just are to heavy to get the performance you would get with the lighter tires. If loosing some power doesnt mean much to you they would sure last...almost indesructable and last forever gripping good on anything.
