I JUST PURCHASED SOME MAXXIS RAZRS 22X11X9 6 PLY FOR THE REAR AND SOME 23X7X10 6 PLY FOR THE FRONT OF MY 07 DS650X..JUST WANTED SOME INPUT TO SEE IF I MADE A WISE CHOICE..IT WAS BETWEEN THAT AND HOLESHOTS AND I WENT FOR RAZRS..

 

I have some 20" razrs and they have held up good. I really don't think you can go wrong either way. Next time I am buying 22's

 

Are they the Razr 2's?
2's are more durable as they are 6 ply. The base Razr's are 4 ply normally but I think now may be available in the 6 ply. Maxxis used to be a bit cheaper than Holeshots but I haven't run them in a couple of years. I stick with the Holeshot XCT 6 ply now for the open desert riding that I do but really had no issues with the Razr's when I ran them. Holeshot's just seemed to last a bit longer and be more resistant to punctures out here where we ride.
Either choice you can't go wrong with.

 

what about as far as the size? and they are 6 ply

 

Good choice on the size. The DS loves 23 fronts and 22 rears and with the extra heighth you will save wear and tear on the undercarriage of your bike.
Also with that size tires you can run a 15/42 on your gearing and have great all around power and speed.
Search on here for the gearing calculator. It gives you the option to choose your tire size and gearing and shows you the changes between the choices.

 

really interested in the 15/42 set up. i have a 15 tooth sprocket in the front and stock in the back.not sure how many tooths are on the rear but if it is not the 42 where can i get one? thanks alot for the info!!!

 

also will this involve gettin a new chain or should the stock one work?

 

Stock will work with the 42t rear sprocket. Give Ron Wood Racing a call, they may still have some in stock, although the supply was getting low last time I called.
Stock rear is a 40 tooth.

 

i have them on my desert race bike,have over 800 miles of racing on them,great tire!! Had the maxxis 1 and this are better lasting and grab better also....great choice!!!
