i have no idea which are the best for rocky terran, but i do know that you better get some 6plys because if you get anything less they will puncture way quicker

I have razrs all around in the 6ply version and in my opinion are bulletproof! I ride rocky terrain all the time and even hit rocks on the sidewalls and have not had one loose air or puncture yet. Hope i helped you out!

oh yeah also in rocky terrain would i benefit from 8 inch rims so that i have less of a chance to dent my wheels???????

8 inch wheels make your quad ride smoother, but it'll weight more, cost more to buy new wheels, and the rear end wont be as predictable. Id say stock with 9inch.
Id get 6ply 20inch tires if i were you. Make sure and dont run the tires at a high psi, that'll make the possibility of a puncture much greater, but not toooo low.

ive heard that the razr front 22" are really big compared to 21" i think ima go wit 6 ply 21" so they dont look soo big

Bandits are the toughest rubbers I have seen.

Razr's are pretty nice,,,I don't even think of flats when running mine,,plus if ya get the big 23's up front and the 22's in the rear ya get some good ground clearance..:D

The only tires i have ever owned and had problems with flats were the dunlops on my old 4x4, I've never had any problems with my stock 400ex tires or my razrs and i ride on everything.
I remember coming home a few times on my 300ex (which has bearclaws) and seeing 4 or 5 nails stuck in the tire, But it wasn't flat.
I say get some 6 ply razrs.
