Maxxis Razor 2 Direction??

[TimelessR1]

I'd be surprised if Maxxis really put that much R&D into their tires, that if you just flip them around the are miracuosly made for mud, and if you flip them again they are great for hard packed. I think I might call Maxxis and find out their take on how they should be mounted. I'm hoping that they say it should only be one way , so then I can let them know that their million dollar man has them on backwards in their Ad...hahahah

Maybe you should ask them if there's advantages for certain riding types having it flipped one way or another as well.

Ok...I just got off the phone with a tech at Maxxis...and he said that they were actually designed to have the treads pointing in. This helps with keeping it tracking better and not wandering when going through ruts. 

He also mentioned that some people prefer to run them with the treads popinting out if the conditions are softer or muddier. Running it this way will cause the tires to track more in ruts and throw up a little more mud, but will help in quicker steering also

Hope this helps people


Also...Balance runs them both ways depending on the situation...sounds a little .... :fruity: to me...but to each their own..hahaha

Well you can't really argue with a guy who has been the only GNCC champion since the turn of the century  :grin_nod:

You got lucky      hahaha

haha   Only figured out by accident. Buddy mounted his 23"  razr2 that way by mistake. Threw mud everywhere. Switched and it was better. Not a huge difference in handling.

Good to know

Ok, just wanted to add a little something to this. I put on the new razr2's and noticed that there was a Rotation arrow on the tires...and get this...it made the treads point towards the outside when following the rotation direction....go figure

    That's interesting

Never noticed that one
