Opinions on Kenda Klaw MXR

Anyone running MXR's, how do they work? I'm looking for some tires and found these cheap, thanks TC...

Raffa is running regular Klaw's and he finds them great. I think they look like an awsome tire to run but they might have a little too much sideways traction that would limit how well the trike slides. On the flip side of that I bet you won't find a tire you cannot break loose with the big 500.

If you can get them cheap and have some use for them then hell yeah, giv'r!

for anyone that cares there's a pair new on ebay for 100.00 BIn with shipping included. I went with fast trekkers instead i think that will give me more of what i'm looking for...

i got the 6 ply mx kenda klaws on my 400ex and i like them alot. personally, i think they slide better than you would think (on a coffee table). if you miss out on the ones on ebay i got my pair from rockymountainatv.com for around 100$

Your in Florida so you'll be fine, I never get away with cheap tires. I've popped 3 Bandits A/T's in 2 months, they are useless.... But, I'm running Holeshot HD's now and they are thick and NASTY!! but pricey too, 84$ each...

6 Ply sounds a bit much for you guys down south. Only because of the added weight, nice to have the thicker sidewall though.....

Let us know how they work for ya

I had klaw mxr rears, I didn't like them. It took too much to slide them out. I side with the guy who likes fast trekkers, they do suck on a slippery surface or a wet track, though. I go between 18" kenda knarly, stock suzuki lt-r450 rears, and turf tamers. For a all purpose, kenda knarly's should do the job. I'm assuming you want 20" rears?? Kenda sells them in 6 ply for xc tires, most of the mx tires are 4 ply and 18". Its hard to compare between a quad and trike how to tire slides out, its like apples and oranges. If you are gonna do xc, I don't suggest the stock lt-r tires, they get cuts pretty easy and how they are 18". Turf tamers will backup with mud easy and are 2 ply tires. My favorite tire for xc has been holeshot xcr's, I have a set from 02, I am have used them on my atc250r, atc200x, trx250r and were very predictable and easy to ride.
