What tires do you run?

[socalrappy700]

I run Razr2's all the way around.  I couldn't be more happy with them.  I've put them through hell out in ocotillo wells and they held up great.

Bert, what kind of studs are you running?

Kold Kutters - Magic Racing has good prices too


I'm buying a hot knife to groove my tires for more bite, that should only take forever to cut 4 tires    I should get started on it though

[Jamie700R]

I have 22" razr2's on front and
21X12X9 GBC Mudsharks on the rear. Ive had the mudsharks on my 660 and now my 700. I won't buy another tire for the rear except these. They hook up in just about everything, Mud,Snow,Rocks,Sand,Dirt and even pavement.

cool, you'll have to post pics of the tires that you groove. Are the lugs on those cheng shins' pretty durable?

If the studs are ripped out several times the knob may chunk or have a big hole where you'd like to put a stud.  I didn't nut my studs last year so I will be pulling all of them out & adding longer ones & nutting.  At that point the cutting will begin.  I saw favorable results from others grooving @ the track so I'll try it.  I don't forsee any durability issues with cheng shins knobs at this time.  I think it'll be fine.

[Krandall]

How do you plan on cutting them? they are already pretty small? or cutting as in removing lugs?

[Bert]

I plan on removing at least 88 knobs per rear tire as well as cutting each knob on either 2 or  4 sides exposing the stud. The studs will be patterned after a directional car tire tread & each stud "clocked" facing a set direction.  Way to much effort for a set of tires

dang, I know it takes a lot of time to stud tires per conversations with Mad Dog. But dang dude you better get crackin. Ice season is just around the corner by the time you get those babies done!

Their insane and at around $65 a tire they are worth it. Last winter when i had them on my 660 they dug completely thru the snow into the grass and thru it in clumps across my yard. Im just glad i was renting the property.

I only read an add about them in QUAD. And I can only guess that they are going to be top notch. Pirelli has been in the automotive racing scene for some years and they certainly know what they are doing!
