Probably cause my dumb ass put both part numbers into google. There's no pictures though so I wonder if they actually carry the tires or just still have the part number in their database.

They only posative I can say about the Realators is you will never ever ever ever wear those things out.
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: Cunningham_821 on May 07, 2013, 01:34:16 pm
Realators suck. and thats my bike in the pic them are marvin shaws. when i had shaws on my stock bike i took shocks off and put bike jack under frame lower it till you get the height you want and measure eye to eye. i ran a stock swinger and a laegers +4 both using the link setup and it worked fine. Pretty sure i used 12 1/2-13"comp on back and the ones on my bike now on front are 13" (i think) comps they worked with stock a arms too.

4snows are ok nothing like wedges tho. i have a brand new pair that i never use they get way sketchy at 90mph. btw im pretty positive ohtsu stopped production on the  wedges 1&2 if u find a pair of 1s save ure money they arent very good they are pretty close to 4 snows but actually i think snows are better than the 1's ive heard a guy say he ran 2 10th faster by doing nothing but swap out 4 snows for wedge2's.
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: GrkGuy on May 06, 2013, 07:23:50 pm
yeah so they say, just like the V2 vs the V3's
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: Buckeye513 on May 06, 2013, 06:33:54 pm
I'm having Jason check on some pro wedge 2's apparently they don't make pro wedge 1's anymore but the 2's are just as good supposedly.
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: GrkGuy on May 06, 2013, 05:54:33 pm
yeah they are almost the same the pro wedges just hook up way better. i went riding with a few guys last year
and they were on 2 strokes and had the pro wedges on and i was on a 4x4 quad, and they climbed more hills then mw

The pro wedges are hard to find they have the same tread pattern as the Maxxis 4 snow and the ams zipper.
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: Dezsled on May 06, 2013, 04:20:06 pm
Ohtsu is the manufacturer

Post by: GrkGuy on May 06, 2013, 04:08:43 pm

Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: Buckeye513 on May 06, 2013, 12:36:58 pm
Or these ams zipper tires? Cheaper than the Maxxis but same tread pattern basically.
Title: Re: Drag tire
Post by: Buckeye513 on May 06, 2013, 12:24:34 pm
Cunningham what about these Maxxis 4 snow tires look just like the pro wedges.

Post by: Buckeye513 on May 06, 2013, 12:14:17 pm
Pro wedges is what a ton of guys run at the strip I frequent most. Do they not produce them anymore or what?

What's a good drag tire to run for hard/medium packed dirt drags and field drags? I have brand new mud sharks for trails but gonna buy a seperate pair of rear rims and tires for drag only. Also probably gonna get a seperate swinger (stock and extend it or custom fabbed extended +4 or +6). To run a drag strut would I need a new upper shock mount or just change the lower with my drag only swinger?
