I have Marshall front grooved radials on my 250R and they work great. However, they are a nightmare in muddy or wet clay conditions!

I would own another bike with out them. But like retro said they are horibble in wet conditions. they clog up and you can steer.

I have the Riken grooved radials and the track I race at is very sandy and they work great as long as it is dry. I agree they are terrible when it is muddy, but they do work well in dry or loamy sand.

1988 TRX250R chassis with 350X motor bored and stroked to 500cc. Quad has every modification available to setup for racing motocross.

Just to be curious does anyone know what that size (145r10) radial came off of ?? I've been trying to find them somewhere other than the atv companies to save some money but all the tire companies that i've talked to have never seen or heard of that size


Just curious and trying to save me and others some hard earned money

I have them on my R and i love them so much. they make the quad handle so much better on hardpack. THey suck so bad in mud. I have the Marshall (NAC"S).
