Default Let's talk all-around SPORT tires

After today, I realized I REALLY need better tires on the Z. I still have the OEM's front and rear, and they did not stop slipping all day in the rain/mud/sand. So, I ride mostly trails, but want to keep a lower (20" maybe 19") profile than most suggested trail tires. I also ride fast, competitively and corner hard. I'm in loose terrain mostly, sand and sometimes mud. But not enough to get paddles. I have Razr's on the Warrior and they're nice, but want a bit more bite. Some I was looking at:

Razr II's
I-Razr's
Kenda Klaw's
Kenda Knarly's
ITP Holeshot MXR4's
ITP Holeshot HD's

What do you guys think? Kenda's are cheapest, then ITP's and Razr's. Price does matter a bit.

Get the razr ll those are the tires i wanted but a little too much $$$ for me now so that's why i was looking at the razr. My firend has them on his 400ex and they are sick, lots of trackion and they throw some roost, they corner great and hook up sweet, many GNCC racers use them so they r good all around.

Yeah, I'm hearing equal positives about the Razr2's and ITP HD's. I started new thread in the right section though http://forums.atvconnection.com/mess...did/442243.cfm

RAZR 2 or Holeshot XCR's. HD's are too heavy.

I have never heard anything bad about the Klaws, I am going to try them for my next tire.

My friend has the Klaws in 22" on his Blaster and they hook up a little better than my Razr's. The Razr2's are a different story, but I have no hands on with them. For the prices, I'm still thinking Klaws before Razr2's. What about the Knarly's? They look like they'd have great hook up in sugar sand/mud, but might be on the heavy side as well. I'm still undecided.

The Knarlys are made of a harder compound than the Klaws so they wont hook up as well on hardpack. Should do pretty good in the wet, loose stuff though. I heard something about Kenda coming out with a Knarly MX or something along that lines, it was a Knarly with a softer compound. I think that would make for an awesome tire. I have yet to see it though, maybe i am just imagining things again.
