maxxis razors versus razor 2's

[sblt500r]

are the razor 2's worth the extra money? looking to get a set of tires for my zilla, and have been thinking about razors. but which one! lol

Razr 2's are larger and more round.
It all depends on your riding style and
the terrain that you ride. I personally
like flat style tires...I much prefer the
standard razrs over the 2's. Just my
opinion...

I've had both Razrs and Razr2s on my Shee. I really like the Razr2s, they hook up pretty good and are great on trails. I really need the 6ply too.

for a good, general purpose all around tire, the 4 ply razar is one of the best tires you can get. they are pretty light weight and have a good lasting tread compound. I have some on the back of my 250r and I love em. they slide very predictablly and provide good traction in everything ive been in so far, from soupy mud to loose loam to slick hard pack.

the razar II's, ive not tried em actually, but they have a much more aggressive tread pattern and larger knobs. i'd say they work good in the real nasty, tight technical trails.

the 2's are a bit rounded, but they have what looks like a more a agressive tread, likes been said. i just never compared the 2. i do have the razor 1's on my lt250r, and they work good. i'm thinking the 2's would work real good on a zilla. i mostly trail ride with some sand pits thrown in.

i went riding with this kid who had the 2's on his raptpr, thats what got me thinking about them.

if i was riding all hard packed dirt id get the original razr's, but if your riding all sorts of terrain and especially want a tough 6 ply tire, go for the 2's, i had them as my last set, they hook up awesome, and last a long time, never got any holes in em, tough as nails, as far as them being rounded...the 20x11x9's are probably the flattest profile tire ive ever had, dont let the pictures on rocky mountain and ebay and stuff fool you, it looks like they have 50 psi in them for the pic in all the catalogs , same with that guys raptor in the pic above, looks like he has the 22's ..? or he needs to take some air outa them if those are the 20's, if you run a normal amount of air, 4-5 psi, they are flat as hell, the 22's are a bit rounder, trhe 20's are already big for 20's and offer plenty of ground clearance, the 22's are overkill and huge

[sblt500r]

that raptor did have 22's. on a 9 inch rim. i was thinking about geting 22 rears and 23 fronts. with 10 inch rims. i like the ground clearance, i still hit crap with 22's. but those 22's on the raptor did look big, maybe it was because of the 9 inch rims or it could have just been the quad they were on.

[ky 2stroker]

I love 23 inch front tires, thats what I got on my 250r. for the trails they work awesome, never have any problems with ground clearance and I think they make it look like a mean lookin cross country or desert racer.
