I think you mean Holeshots and how do they slide. But it all depends on which holeshots. The MX, XC, XCR or XCT? I have heard that the MX wear down extremely fast.

I could be wrong, but it feels like my 20" Holeshot MX fronts are softer than the stockers..... which I would think would wear faster.

The 20" XCR's (rear tires) feel softer than the 20" XC's and 22" XCT's..... But I really can't tell if the XCR's are softer than the stockers.

In short..... I think the stock front tires wear pretty good, where the stock rear tires wear faster than the fronts. I would think the Holeshot XC's or regular 20" rears would wear longer than the stockers.

Good luck!

I can usually get a full racing season out of one set of Holeshots including trail riding in between races.

The XC line last much longer than the MX line!

I got holeshots on my quad when I got it. They wear down really really fast if you do any tar riding. (It probaly doesnt help that i try to do smokeshows put thats not the point) Plus if you do mud riding these things will turn to slicks pretty easy and you will get stuck. Id personnaly never buy the holeshots agian. They never hook up on the surfaces that I ride them on. Then the one time they did hook up it made me crash so I might be a little impartial. But yes i think they wear really fast.

Were your tires wore down when you got them. Mine seem to last forever and the treads clean great here in the Kentucky mud! I don't ride on blacktop tho.

they had been worn down a little. But could it be that i have the xct's or whatever they call it. But also I ride quite a bit on the blacktop. And try to smoke them alot to. So its porbably me but ohh well

I have regular Holeshots and they seem to last a long time. I have had them on for almost 2 years now. They are awsome! I get great traction in everything but ice. I am sure I can get at least another year out of them. :D
