    350X front tires

    Going to be replacing my front tire on my X soon, have a front max on it now but want to try something different this time around. Thinking about maybe going with a Trail wolf, Kenda pathfinder, or bear claw. Anyone running something different?

    Pics appreciated

    Kenda Front Max always gives me the best steering bite for trail riding.

    What trike do you currently own and ride with this tire on it?

    There is a big difference in how the 2 of these options handle. Bear claws are heavy and really beat on forks.

    I've always been a fan of the aggressive ITP mud lites

    Trail Hawk was the best ever. It was the ONLY 27in. Most are 26.5in. I have a couple but its to much to ship it to CA from Florida

    I have a trail hawk on mine now. It’s nice I like the 24” height. I had a kenda front pro. Was great no issues just wore it down. Bought a new one cause I heard there phasing them out. In some internet viewing saw the kenda bear claw ex. 24x8-11. Anyone tried this? Looks aggressive but kenda says you run them backwards or forwards depending on terrain. Might buy one just to have. Only 57$ new.

    Best bang for the buck is a k299 Kenda bear claw. 25x8-11, runs short about 24.3 inches tall. If you had a 8 inch front rim I only run the BKT AT119.

    I always ran a Carlisle Trail Wolf on my 350X fronts. They work great. Then Cheetahs came out. They are even better and as close to an original ATC tire as you will find. Good luck whatever you decide.
