The tire choice was good and worked extremely well on our supercross test track. That track has a very hard surface, and the ITP tires hooked up as good as anything is going to on these hardpacked low-traction situations. The only thing we wanted to point out is the beadlocks. We got some dirt crammed into ours which caused the air to leak out. All we had to do was pull apart the beadlock and clean out all of the dirt and debris. We think it's a matter of the beadlock rings not being torqued properly. After running them a few times you might even want to retighten them along with all of your normal maintenance procedures.
ITP's MXR6 tires helped give us the traction we needed in order to improve lap times.
We think the additions that we made to our LT-R450 allowed us to have an excellent-performing machine at a very low cost. We also think the suspension works so well and provides such a plush ride that it would make a great addition to a recreational rider's or even dune runner's setup. We let several people who normally run the stock setup at the tracks where we were testing ride our project quad. All of them were highly impressed with our low-budget racer and were immediately headed to Race Tech to get their stock shocks a makeover. It was kind of like getting second, third and fourth opinions. We nailed down the basics. If you have more budget after these mods, the order to spend a few extra bucks would probably be for a bar-even though the stock ones are comfortable, they aren't strong or cool-looking-a graphics kit and a pipe.
