At the track I ride at it is very soft. I have stock tires now and in some turns it is so loose the front just pushes. What are some good tires for the soft stuff? Also sometimes they turn the sprinklers on and it gets a little muddy.

Thanks

you have little choice, either holeshots or razrs. the razrs are a fairly new player in the mx tire game, so i don't know how good their mx tires are, but their other ones are good. i've got a set of holeshots and got no complaints on how they perform. sure they wear a little quick, but in softer dirt, they should last a while.

How long will holeshot mx's last? Also wont the smaller MX tires push more in the soft stuff then stock?

I heard the razors hook up better in soft syuff and the hole shots hoke up better in the harder stuff. You also can get groved tire which will last along time.

I have the Razr MX's and they don't hook up very good in the loose stuff, either do the holeshots. I think the stock tires worked better for the loose stuff. just my opinion

i have a set of holeshot mx's and I have put 5-6 races on them and a whole lot of practice on them and they are barely worn at all, and they hook up great in any condition, except when it's extremely muddy, and they still do good compared to t-tamers.

ive ran holeshots,turfs, in the rear and holeshots and radials in the front i have razors mxs now and out of all the above these seem to be the best they hook up really well the fronts have no push at all like the radials do in soft conditions , the holeshot fronts turn really well but didnt last long enough the holeshot rear seems to be to much tire for me they seem to grab to much when i drive in to the corners and whip my quad around altough they hook up really well in a straight line
