Looking for same tire all the way around. I want one tire for everything, ride trails with all kinds of situations, hills, muddy slopes, streams, bit of snow, fields, some road.

How are the bandit front tires, i think they look pretty cool, looks like holeshot fronts would clog up.


Thanks!!

I used to have Bandits on my Mojave and they hooked up really well. A friend of mine had Holeshots on his 300ex and they were also really good, buy they wore out a lot faster than the Bandits. Guess, I would go with the Bandits.

I have bandits on my 300ex and they do hook up really well and still have TONS of tread but i think i like the holeshots a lil better cuz of the weight and traction they get, but they r both good tires

everyone says the bandits are heavy, what ply rating tires does everyone have, 4 ply or the 6's, i'm thinking 4's for myself to save s o m e weight.

thanks

I am running Bandits. 22" on the rear. 23" on the front. 6 ply, kevlar belted. Honestly, they aren't all that tall though. The rears are just a tad taller than my husband's 20" Holeshots.
They are a very heavy tire. Very stiff too--at least IMO.
The plus side, they wear great and do excellent in the snow and mud.
