New tires-what to run?
I'm getting new treads and am undecided on what to get. I am debating between Holeshot HD's, Kenda Klaw XC's, of Maxxis I-Razrs. I mainly ride trails with a couple of week long trips to the desert throughout the year. I also plan on riding the Pismo race this year which in the dunes, but paddles are not allowed (my main motivation for the I-razr's).

I would say that the HD's hook up well on the Glamis sand.................but that sand had more traction then ever, because it was rained on. Its not normal to pull wheelies DOWNHILL at glamis.......and it even had a crappy map
But in the few spots I rode on, that had dry sand, they hooked up alright:head:

JessHamner rode my quad at Glamis with Kenda's on it, he could probably give some sand feedback.

I only rode the kendas and paddles so I didn't really have anything to compare the kendas with. They did ok and I was able to climb almost anything. Mjollnir was telling me that holeshots aren't bad and are actually faster on the topend. I'll defintely say that you can get around with the kendas on sand.
I will add that I have never run any I Razors, so I dont know how they do. The tire I hate the most is the Holeshot, especailly the XC's, they're hard to change, dont slide worth a hoot. The fronts wonder, its like herding a high speed cow around. I own a set of XC's and wouldn't get another set if they gave them to me. If you like them, all the luck. Just my thoughts.
