Stock Moto 8" rims and Holeshot MXR4's here. Seems great. I ran 9" rims w/Klaws for a little while and will never go back except at the occasional "mud" races on rainy days.

hows the wear on those holeshot mxr4's, i want to go with a used set of rear hipers but the stock moto rims sound good to

The MXR4's have held up great so far. Some practice and quite a few races and haven't even swapped sides yet for even wear. They last much longer then the MXR's but I still think the Klaws will win the life wars between them. However, they are much better tires and basically the same price if not cheaper at some places.

all 8x8 hipers are integrated hub. mxr4's are ten times better tires as far as handling is concerned compared to the klaws. i have a set of moto beadlocks im thinking about selling, PM me for price
