OK, then what is a good tire for the "Lower HP" quadcycles for the trails. I need to replace the rears on the Z250.

I had 20" razr's on my Blaster. They were a great tire for that bike. The razr is lighter and the tread is tighter, then the razr2. That would be faster sportier riding. If you would want to angle more for the mud/ slower riding look into a kenda klaw, or something along that lug type.

We used the term, lets hit some fingers, no traffic on those and many are a blast to ride on.
If you wernt from texas you'd know them are spur roads [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I still like calling them fingers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Originally posted by: WildTurkey151 Well I am still running stock rubber on the back. The tires that I am eyeing are the Maxis I Razr's. They don't have as much tread as the holeshots that you have but looks like it would be a kick a$$ trail tire. I think that a good tire should have a good gap between the lugs on the tires, lots of grip but slid easier. I doubt this helped but stick with Maxis
I'd have to recheck the websites, but, some tires aren't offered in a 22", I just want something that gets good traction and of course won't gum up between the lugs.

Id recomend for the plugging up part maybe pushing that lever under your right thumb..

Back when I was thinking of getting new rubber, the M934 Razr 2, was first on my list. Like I said before, I've run the Holeshot XCT's for atleast 2 yrs and have served me well, but I do like to try new things and I love the look of the Razrs.
