price is a bit steep to me and the tires look like traction is not at it's best. that's more of a feild grass tire in my opinion but really a dirt or trail rider.

I was also going to order a set, I am so glad I did not. The Honda dealer near me sells them over the counter+ keeps them in stock, so I was able to look them over. They look good but thats it. They are super stiff and hard and are very, very heavy and thick. They would work on a utility, but I personally would not buy them for any thing. Just my feeling on them. Some one else might like a big heavy stiff tire but not me.

I got a set of those Duro's Ill get pics later. They are just like the name they HOOK UP. They are a huge wide spaced lug. and they get major forward bite.

They have enough side bite to keep you from spinning out in a slide. The compound is softer than a hoeshot or Razr. They probably feel stiffer to you pipeline becaue the lugs are so much thicker than others.

[pipeline triker]

Those are diffrant than the ones I looked at. The ebay link was not working right for me before I guess. The ones I looked at had a more blocky flat tread looked really neat with a thick lug but were very stiff sides and face. Rocky mountan has Kenda Dominators for less I think. I have a pair of RA shreders on my 200x and love them.

what about these? http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?&allVehParts=true&navType=type&webTypeId=138&navTitle=Tires+and+Wheels&webCatId=8&prodFamilyId=15818

I've seen 2 guys run DURO's and they seem to hook up, slide fine and last FOREVER!! Thats on sand, mud, snow, clay - everything - I like em.

Mainly due the fact that there is quite a bit of surface area on those giant triangles.

But then again, you said that you hate Holeshots, but on my 350X with the HD's - I love them. And on the 200X with the XC's (less sidewall lugs) I love them too :D

[factoryX]

but they weigh a ton right? one of my plans is to get hiper wheels and so I am looking for a good set of tires for that type of rim.

[Dirtcrasher]

Maybe, and my Holeshot HD's aren't light at all.......

But, I've smashed them into sharp rocks and railroad tracks and never popped the sidewall. Thats my beef, cheap tires = cheap sidewall and useless tires............

To each there own. We ride in all kinds of terrain and I need a tough sidewall, I'll deal with a few extra pounds if they can handle the elements I ride in/on. I have honestly popped or had leaking sidewalls on at least 3 or 4 brand new tire/rim packages. I had tires leak at the bead or pop a sidewall 2X from RMATV. They do not last for me so weight is something I can tolerate if they stand up!

So far in the last 12 years or so:

The Holeshot HD's . XCR's and the Bandit XC's (now discontinued) have been very good to me. Even the old OHTSU's all hold up very well for some reason - Oh yeah, I forgot that they came on Honda's - that would be why :D

Turf Tamers, cheaper Holeshots and numerous other inexpensive tires have let me down everytime and I'm happy to spend more $$ than deal with tires that leave me stranded.

[factoryX]

I am not getting cheepy turf tamers I ride rocky/silt..lol horrible mix. the holeshots are not that baad they do bug me when I go 3rd/4th gear pinned sideways and I feel like am going to flip over. ps I have never rolled a 3 wheeler through 5 years I have been riding them. o-well I guess I'll run the tracion less stock trx250r/400ex tires I have.

agreed weight is my enemy. it is also a chain and set of bearings enemy

[Dirtcrasher]

It sounds like you want a tire with less grip that can spin in 3rd/4th while pinned??

BUT, you won't get a strong sidewall or a long lasting tire if it's pinned sideways (which of course we ALL love to do :beer)

I'd look for smaller knobbies and or a 18 or 20" tire......

I love Turf Tamers :cry:

When I first got my X it had stock tires on it, and the front was pretty much done as far as tread goes, I got that Kenda front Max and couldn't be any more pleased with it.. Alot of us run them

cool, I will be getting it then.

[NOS_350X]

I have every performance type tire made. The only ones i would buy again are Turf tamers. The only other ones i actually like are Razr's and the Duro's. IMO holeshots suck for the price. over priced and dont perform very well. The Kenda tires i dont care for too much eather.

[factoryX]

that is what I needed to hear, thank you.

here's what I just bought for my SX with 200X conversion, it mimic's the original 200X tire closely

http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/tpl/tire/atvtireproduct.jsp?skuId=&store=Main&catId=&productId=p54769&leafCatId=&mmyId=

Shop around I found it for around 35 bucks on Bikebandit, but had DK price match it, even with their 5 dollar charge, it stilll was cheaper than BB.

okay, but performance wise which ones better the kenda tire or the cheng shin tire?
