Get 20x11-9 6 ply tires, either Holeshot xc, Maxxis Razr's, or GBC Shredders. Go to www.treadepot.com they are the bottom line cheapest place, trust me I have shopped around.

if you consider turf tamers a sport tire which most people use them for racing then they will be pretty darn cheap. and u can groove them to match your terrain and needs (ex. sliding or strait line grip)

there's only a few problems with turf tamers. They do offer great traction, but they are 2 ply, so they get punctured really easy. The tread is a real soft rubber and they wear down quicker than any tire on the market. Pro's who use them, love them, but they put a new pair on for every race because that's how fast they wear down!

first off i would get 6 plys all around . and i have seen that pure sports makes the bandits with a puntcure resistant liner, but i dunno if they are 4 or 6 ply. i do know that on rear shredders have a closer tread pattern than razors or shots so that might help out on back

6 ply is the highest advailable for the front and rear. Stock 400ex tires are 2 ply all around, that's why you should replace them.

for good all around tires try the Kenda Klaw's or whatever they are callin them now. They look pretty good.

if u want something that is gonna last forever look into bandits. if u want tires for trail riding and dirt riding only then i would recommend razrs. i would never buy shreaders, i wouldnt run turfs unless it was a mx track, and holeshots wear out to fast.

I bought XCR's-20x11x10 on the rear and reg. 21x7x10 on the front, got 'em on .190's, debateably the best improvement I've made so far. Man they are awesome, hook up everywhere, slide predictably, and throw up the roost!
