Just got my pair of Maxxis Razr tires for my 350x. Can anyone give me some info on these tires? Do they slide well in dirt? Do they hook well out of turns? Good traction? Tough tire? Any info helps

I had a z440 with the Razrs and they hook quite well. Be careful when cornering, they are grabby. Shoulder profile is square, not rounded at all.

I would rank them right up there with Holeshots for performance. Very good tire for a performance machine.

Would you put them on a 350x?

I ran 20"Maxxis RAZR tires on my 85 250sx I restored in 2003, I liked them a lot but I was just trail riding and general purpose rising.

I'm a holeshot guy. Everything on my garage has a set of them but have used the Maxxis as well. But, the Maxxis are great... having said that I must say that it is not great for trikes. They will not let you slide your trike like you would on a quad, unless your suspension is set-up for it or you adjust your riding style accordingly.
It's a great quad tire. very aggressive and tons of grip on holeshots, mid turn and incredible bite out of turns. If you race, you'll love it. If you trail ride you need to be a bit careful (on a 350X anyways as it will go up on you just by thinking about it) as it may be a bit to much. Not saying you should not use, you should. But adjust accordingly.
A great, new front tire is a must in order for the rear RAZR'S not to overpower (or create push or understeer, which is the opposite of "sliding") the front.
Of course, this is only my opinion and I'm sure someone else may have a different experience.
Overall, a great tire. Lots of grip and they last a long time (for me anyway).
Hope this helps.

TORKER.

Sure would! Just ease into trying to slide and whatnot to see how they are going to act.

Also, I would recommend a new Front Max front tire to go with the additional traction the Razrs will give you. I got a new Front Max for my big bore last year and the difference in steering bite compared to the Dunlop Ohtsu Pro-V imitator I was running was AMAZING! So far in my experience, NOTHING compares to a Front Max for steering bite on a trike if you are sticking with the 11" rim.

My buddy runs them all the time in 18'' on his 350x, you just need to ride hard.

In my opinion they are identical in performance to the Holeshot HD's I am running on my 250r right now. They are great tires, hook up great in a straight line but require a little bit more effort to break loose in a corner. It's nothing scary though, just requires a little more throttle and body english to get them sliding when compared to say a set of Turf Tamers. I love them and wouldn't hesitate to get another set.

I got'em on my tri z, i think they slide pretty good but then mine are half worn out.
