I'm gonna vouch for i-Razr rears
Very aggressive forward traction, with easily controlled sliding. The corner knobs serve multiple purposes (rut riding, gravel digging, sand/mud paddling, climbs over roots great, etc). They're lighter than Razr2, and I'm willing to say, just as tough. I've had branches and pointed logs go into them (bringing me to a dead stop) and no puncture. I'm still running with 2 fish hooks (with no air leak) in one of them. You can control their performance by using different pressure for different terrain.
Their downfall is their rate of wear. That's probably why they aren't as popular as most other tires. They're more expensive and wear down faster. But, they wear down faster because of the amount of traction you get from them. Think of them like sandpaper (less grit/ less knobbies = harsher abrasiveness)
I went with Razr2 fronts because I wanted a good all around tire that would last forever. Since they're going to last forever, I can happily replace my i-Razr rears as often as I like. :thumbsup:
The I-Razr's are an awesome tire...like ThorDan said!
Many of my freinds who race Harescrambles use them and speak highly of them! Yes it is true that they do tend to wear more easily, but man these tires, rock!
I have a complete set of them, had them on my Warrior and they made the Warrior launch in all types of terrain. Less grippy, than the RazrII's but this is why I bought them...I actaully like a little slippage.
Additionally, I was the first purchase of the I-Razr's and I was looked upon by my peers as being crazy, but soon everyone else had a set after seeing what they could do for my Warrior!
You can not go wrong by purchasing, either of the two Maxxis Tires = I-Razr's or RazrII's
I now have a set of GNCC Rears and a set of RazrII Fronts, also an unbeatable combination.
Main thing to consider when purchasing front tires is, always try to select a front tire with a rounded profile. The rounded profile helps steer you better not only on track settings but also trail settings, with a rounded profile front tire, you will be much more able to accurately steer through the curves.
