Which is the better tire trying to figure which one to buy

 

I have the Klaws and like them. Cheaper and last long. I have never tried the Razr 2 but hear good things. For me the price was a biggest factor.

 

Have you thought about the regular Razr? they have been outstanding for me. JMO, but of those two i would get the Klaw because of $$$$$$$.

 

I ownMaxxis Razr2 20x11 and enjoy them, but they are expensive.

 

There is a kenda claw and knarly tire made for mx/xc as well.

 

The Klaw would compare more to the razr than razrII.

My local guy actually gets more $$$ for the Klaw than the razr, so go figure [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have Klaw fronts (22x5x10) and Knarly rears (20x11x9) and have been happy with both, but the Knarlys are allmost industructible.

Most of the people I ride with have either holeshots, razr's or klaws and all seem to work real well. A few have switched to the razrII and they are a really agressive tire, but as stated above rather expensive too.

The biggest differences I have seen between them are that the razr is good in most dirt terrains, but has problems with sand and mud, the razrII addresses the mud issues of the orig but some find they dont slide nearly as easily, the klaws can be swapped to change the directional quality of the tire and this does seem to help on sloppy or sand conditions, the knarly thogh tough as nails and really hard to punture (toughest of the group) also has a harder compund that will wear much much slower than the others but will also give up some in the traction dept. but it will slide like crazy.

Everything is a trade off and I dont think you would go wrong with any of these and could even throw in the holehsot XCR to make things even more confusing etc

 

thanks guys i really appreciate all of your help I am really leaning torwards the klaw and i hope it is they right decision, i ride in pretty sandy conditions alot and if not sand it is dirt trails or hard pack thanks for the help

 

how big is the price difference? thanks

 

despite what everyone says after a lot of calling around I still find Rocky Mountain ATV to be the cheapest with shipping, $202 for the klaws w/ .190 rims and the Razr 2 without shipping cost w/ .190 rims $234 , these are 20x11x9. and I think that is the cheapest you will find those Klaw $44.99 per tire and the Razr 2 69.99

 

Don't believe that nonsense that the Razor2 doesn't slide around the sharp corners. I haven't had a single problem doing so yet with them, and that's with a warrior too! It is right that they are weak in the sandy areas of the trails, but the their performance everywhere else is incredible. I haven't heard too much about the kenda tires however. Just my two cents!
