Default best xc tire??

i did a search and found nothing... i ride a lot of trails and some mud. some road riding to get to where were going, and A LOT of grassy/hardpacked areas. so what would be the best all around rear tire, good grab on just about everything. i was thinking knarlys, razrs (maybe the 2's or the i's but im not sure if i have that kind've money), holeshot hd's(once again money..), or holeshot xcr's. they'd be 20x11x9 or 20x11x10 (i like the look of the 10's)

if i go by looks and if i want to spend the money then it'd be between the irazrs and the hd's. i love the looks of them both. but whatever tire i get they'll be mounted on douglas .190's or itp t9's

thanks in advance

I dont have any experience with the knarlys from kenda but I have heard good things about her and I pretty much do the same kind of riding as you so I am going to give them a try also. I have tryed the razrs and I was happy with them everywhere except in deep mud they couldn't really dig down to get any traction but they still got me through what I encountered. For the price that I got them at though I was alittle dissapointed because I got them right before they came out with the razr2's and now they are alittle cheaper but the way the knarlys look and their tread design I think they look pretty good so even though I havn't used them thats what I would reccomend

yeah, the knarlys do look pretty good.. im sure that as long as the tread on my buddies klaw's lasted, then the knarlys should last a long time too

Yeah you are probably right unless they used a softer tread on the knarly which I could understand because they obviously designed it to get alittle more bite then the klaw but you never know. The klaw was designed more for motocross too and Im thinking about doing some racing so I dont know wether I should get the klaw or knarly.....still deciding

Yeah I know what you mean, Im just gonna get them and see how I like them. The tires aren't as expensive as most anyway so even if we didn't like them it wouldn't be as if we got like razr2's because those r 70 bucks a tire sooo im just gonna try them

If you are looking for a tire that will hook up on everything without any slipping, either itp blackwater or maxxis all-trak.These tires hook up great in all terrain.But if you are looking for a light sporty tire, i would reccomend maybe the knarlys.The lugs on the knarly look like they would hook up great in anything whether soft or hard.Also,they are a little more rounded than the razrs and would hook up in deeper mud a lot better.I still would like to know which tire is better for certain tire conditions, the knarly or klaw.I am thinking about buying new tires and those 2 have my attention.

IRazr Radial.

The radial does everything better than the bias ply molds. There's a reason the bias ply tires went obsolete on the road, it's only a matter of time before it does the same thing OFF the road.

6 ply razr 2s are indestructable...well, lets say more than any other, and really hook nicely

irazors hook up the best but wear fast.the razor2 and holeshots will last a lot longer than the irazors and will be almost as good.
