Default 20" Tires.....

I have the 22 knarlys. Get the 20 if you get the knarlys. I have the 22 good clearance but handling sucks.

How do those Knarly's hook up on the trails? Do you get good traction for trail hill climbing, or do you get just enough to get around? How are they wearing for you?

I was thinking the knarly's would hook up better on the hills then the klaws...but what do you think?

I can vouch for the Razr's, but not for the Razr2's. Again I'll back up what Raptor8 said.....the stockers SUCK!!! Big time. I wouldn't quite say that it solved the "tippyness", but it definately helped. Nothing will lower the high center of gravity that that frame design has, but anyway..... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] When I got my Pred it had the Razr1's on it, and MAN what a difference!!! I was running grooved turftamers, and its the difference in night and day. Those things just straight up DIG! My track is pretty hard pack red clay, and with my tamers it just packed it down, and I skated around all the corners. Now I have TRENCHES around all the turns from where the Razrs have dug in so well!! I'll never run tamers again. They have awsome straight line hookup, and slide very predictably as well. And from what I hear the Razr2's have even taller lugs, and bite even harder. They're a real big favorite right now with the GNCC guys.

When I had the Raptor I also had 20" Holeshot mx's on the front, and can also say that those bit like crazy as well. I went with the 20" to lower the height, and to get ride of some of the shoulder flew, and it helped, but maybe too much! With a 20" front you really need an 18" rear for it to feel right. It just tried to knife in the corners to much, but I will say that the holeshots really dug in too. In short I think both razr's and holeshots will be a GREAT improvement over the stockers ,and I think in the end you'll be much happier with either one of these tires.

Just put 20" Holeshot xcr's on, and I got to tell ya, they suckas bite. I love them. Haven't had any expierence with the Kendas, but I agree with flynbryan, anyone of those tires are going to be great.

The best way to lower the center of gravity is with a lowering kit. Atleast it's the cheapest way.


I know the Razr 2's are awesome, I have run them before, but I was looking for something new. I might try original Razrs. But the knarly's are looking good right now. Thanks for the input.

lowering kits are nice, just dont jump higher than a few feet with them.

That's for sure. But they do improve handling 100%, and they are must for some of the trail hill climbs around here.

I just got some 21x7x10 and 20x11x10 Holeshots and I love them. None of my friends want to ride behind me because I throw so much dirt and cr@p at them. I got them from rockymountain for $223 shipped to my door! They suck in mud, but on hardpack and dunes they do good.
