Default good cheap all around tires for warrior.

although my warrior is not currently running i figured i would start shopping for some tires for it as the ones that are on it suck hard. money is pretty tight so i cant really afford 70 dollar a tire holeshots. i was looking like at some dirt devils or maxxis sure tracs. ive heard that the dirt devils are heavy. but would that be noticable. i ride on alot of kinda of steep and a bit slippery trails. is there a tire i dont know about thats good and cheap. thanks for the help

I'm running Kenda Klaws on all 4 corners. 4-ply front, 6-ply rears. The rears are switchable between hard and soft terrain. They almost have too much traction in the soft position...won't slide...AT ALL.

I went from the stock Dunlaps to those. HUGE difference. Turns better on the track. But the backs are pretty heavy. I was about 180 all shipped from Rocky Mountain, IIRC.

Ya like blackandredwarrior said I would probably suggest the klaws or maybe the kendas knarlys. They have alittle bit bigger of a lug and they look alittle better for traction in wet, loose stuff. But blackandred already has knowledge about the klaws so I would suggest just getting them....you can get them for a really good price to at rockymountainatv

ive got titan fast trekkers all around. these are 3ply, dirt cheap, and made in usa. the rears are also reversible and traction is good although i mostly ride it in the mx track. not sure how well it would do in the woods, trails or sand.

The Klaws are a good tire and at a lower price point then Holeshots. Another decent tire is the Shredder. They are pretty durable, have a similar tread pattern to Holeshots, and can be had a bit cheaper as well.

Try nebraskatire.com, they sell blems for very cheap, Fast Trekkers for my son's 300ex were 25 bucks each, they just buff the brand name off the tires, some legal thing, I guess. If you don't mind that, they are good tires, been running them for almost 2 years with no problems, and they hook up and handle way better than the stock balloon tires.

I looked at the Shredders as well. Rockymountain didn't have them in the size I needed (stock rims...had trouble finding 9" rim tires for the rear.) I think they were comperable in price, maybe a little less. 4ply, IIRC. They are supposed to be rated well for hard surfaces, which is what I ride mostly. Have paddles for the sand (GBC Sand Sharks). The Klaws worked decently enough in the sand (in the soft direcion), but the back end felt really loose. I just wanted to check them out.

Anything is better than stock. Heck...I think you could tie some work out tennis shoes to the rim and they'd work better. j/k Though someone swore that you can't make the back end slide on the Warrior stock rubber. Proper gear, some body English and proper use of the throttle make the back work. Though, the Klaws just went where you want them to.
