Tire choice is absolutely critical and has more of an impact on performance and handling than most riders and novice racers are aware of. Tire size and pressure are just as crucial when it comes to tackling slick, blue-grooved hard pack or thick, damp and loamy motocross tracks.
The TPR project YFZ450R will compete in the Competition Riders of America series spread throughout the Ohio Valley, where the tracks are far-ranging between these two extreme soil types. To keep us competitive, Maxxis sent their soft-compound Razr MX tires in 18-inch rears and 19-inch fronts. Coupled with our DWT beadlock wheels, the TPR project YFZ450R is going to corner like its on rails.
As mentioned in an earlier post, we also have a set of Maxxis Razr MX medium-compound rear tires and Razr Cross fronts. The soft compound tires should give us extra grip on the hardpack, while the medium-compound Razrs and Razr Cross fronts should give the TPR YFZ450R an edge in the loam.
Maxxis offers several options for motocross and XC racing, so check them out here for your next set of kicks http://www.maxxis.com/MotorcycleATV/ATV-Sport.aspx
