Kenda Klaw XC Rear Tire - 22x11-9

I bought these tires to get a little more top speed out of my shaft-drive 250ex. The stock dunlop 22 inch tires it had were actually closer to 20 inch, so these kenda's looked like monsters in comparison. The kendas measure 21.5 at 2-3 psi and a full 22 when pumped up rock hard. Being 6 ply makes a heavy tire, which I don't like, but there aren't many choices in this price range. So I mounted them up and took off across a dew soaked lawn to do some donuts. I almost flipped! I've never seen a tire bite so well on wet grass. So I spent the next few days trying to figure out how many lugs I have to cut off to make them slide. I ended up removing 4lbs of lugs. If you want them to slide, you have to pump them rock hard and even then its not easy. The 250 just doesn't have enough power to break them loose. They're tall, heavy, and bite too well on the side. But I got what I wanted... the top speed. I lost the ability to slide around curves, which, ironically, slows me down a lot and makes riding unpredictable. My only complaint about the tire itself is that its 6 ply. It doesn't need to be that thick. Its not a mud tire, its a sport tire and lightness should trump puncture resistance. Other than that, I'm a big fan of kenda. The tread pattern isn't super aggressive, which I like. Contrasted to Holeshots' aggressive tread (which I hate), you can never tell if you're going to slide when you nail it OR lose the ability to steer because your front wheels are off the ground. But Kendas have a good balance of slip with bite. I have the 20inch version on a 250 quadsport. It slides with ease. Kendas also last a long time. I have 2 sets of fronts and a set of backs that I bought in 2007 that still look fairly new. If you're sure you want a 22 inch tire, the kendas are as good as any and are probably much cheaper. I'd recommend the 20s though, unless you just have to have 22s like I did.

these tires are awesome. they are super tough and give plenty of ground clearence which is a big plus for the places i ride at. I would definetely buy these again any day

We got the tires in within a couple of days (exceptionally fast) and put them on the next day. The tires are great around corners and have excellent grip. We couldn't be happier with the purchase and will definitely be back to this site to order additional tires for our other quads. Cheapest price around, excellent service, great product. Cant be beat.

great tire, no complaints. they made it through their first race with no problems. no signs of wear and great traction. very tall, perfect for xc racing. thanks motosport !

The tire itself is OK, but the support Motosport has given me is truly 5 stars. When both tires were mounted by a local pro shop, I did not notice that one of them did not "seat:" on the rim. I noticed this when riding behind my son, 9 months later! It appears that the one tire was defective, and even though it was 9 months after the purchase that I noticed this, Motosport issed a replacement, at no cost to me. Motosport is my #1 source for quadding equipment..

put them on the rear of my wifes 07 recon & they work great, a little bigger than stock, great price and quality

put those on my wifes recon, ive never got such good traction, very safe!..i like that.

These have to be some of my favorite tires on the market. they are very predictable when sliding around corners, and hook up really well in the straights. Also, if you switch them around, they're almost like paddles. overall the best tire for your money.

Tire has held up really well and tread had little wear..Even though tire is taller than stock it still holds the characteristics as the stock 20x11x9..For the price you cant beat it
