Need Bulletproof Tires????

[chrisp333]

looking for a pair of tires that are giong to hold up on super rough terrain. heard all kinds of info on the razr2, holeshot xct and the kenda klaws. hardly any mud but need excellent traction for lots of rocks and hill climbing on some very soft serfass. having alot of trouble with flats on jagged rocks etc.... whats the best way to go??????? PLEASE HELP:mad:

22 INCH DIRT DEVILS on the back..thats what i got, they are so perfect! :eek2:

6 ply your choice of tires I like Razr's and Holeshot.Proper air pressure and you will be OK.I prefer to run 10 pounds of air up front(I know thats alot but in 6 years of racing XC I have only hade 1 front flat.No less than 4 in the rear.

hey bill, you say you would run 10lbs of air up front in a holeshot xct....hows the quad's handling differ with the 10lb vs...say 5lb?
thnx...:)

correct me if im wrong but i heard bandits are some pretty strong tires.

I would get some Kenda Knarly's. The come in 20's and 22's and they're 6-ply.

thnx...:) The ride is a little bumpy at times but it is a good trade off for me (no flats) good shocks and you will never tell the differance.You will noyice when the tire rolls up on you in a corner(5 lbs.)

dont know if its a reliable source or not but i heard bandits arent any good. i dont have any experience. thanks to the rest.

6 ply Bandits are pretty much bullet proof. Thats gotta be one of the strongest tires out there. And the fronts work real well traction wise. The rears are a little less spectacular, but tuff as nails.

[chrisp333]

ok ill prob go with front bandits but i need the best for the rear.

id go with some GBC dirt devils. the front bandits are very good :eek:

Im still working on finding fronts to match but the KNARLY rears are allmost industructable.

I have rode them thru the coal mines of PA and thru Hatfield Mc coy with absolutely ZERO flats in over a year+ and best part of this is that I seriously dont even think of the rear tires at all when negotiating rocky terrain, just get the fronts thru and hammer down. The only time I managed to put a whole in one was flat landing a small jump at Rausch with 2lb of air in the left rear.

dick ceptic makes some eight and ten ply tires that look almost identical to spider tracs. dont know where u can order them but i have seen them on eBay before

Holeshot XCTs are pretty bullet proof from my experience. Never got a puncture in them. I bent a rim once and got a flat, but the tire is so stiff its very ridable even flat. The bad thing about the XCTs though is the tread wears awfully fast.
Im running Kenda Knarleys now, they also seem really tough, and look like theyre gonna wear much better than the XCTs
Id stay away from Bandit rears. Ive known 3 people with 6 ply Bandit rears and all have blown out huge holes in the sidewall. Could be a coincidence, but I know Ill never own a set of Bandit rears.

I have heard some good about the bandits but their downfall is thier weight, too heavy, plus they are a 10" tire instead of 11".

Anyone running Kenda Klaws, lookinf for some input.

[chrisp333]

never seen 8 or 10 ply before. but im gunna look harder. im not really worried about weight to much just sick of having to plug and pump a tire just to get home. ya know. thanks yall

[boogiechile]

Chrisp333, I have a pair of holeshot xct rears that are like brand new. I bought them, rode a couple trails and then started mx and haven't used them since. I no longer trail ride so I would like to sell them. XCTs are tough, 6 ply, and have the bead protector where the tire extends out over the edge of the bead. These have more than 95% tread and cost $80 each at Rocky mountain. I will sell both of them for $100. You will love them I am sure. They do fit 10 inch rims however 22x11x10.

[Pappy]

that sounds like a good deal chad:D

[luvmyex]

I have a few friends that run the bandits up front and luv em.The rears... without any dought Razr2's. Great tires,pricey but great!

[jay's 300]

After running the 4 ply trail claw 2's and plugging them every time I went riding. I switched to Razr 6 ply and haven't had any problems so far and I ride some pretty rough stuff! :devil:

[hawiianpwr]

Hey I'm running 6 Ply 20x11x10 Kendas in the rear with .190 itp rims and sofar they are flawless. I would recommend them. Another thing kinda nice about them is that they have kinda V-pattern so you can flip them around

i'd go pure sport bandits all the way around. Everytime a baja team doesn't have a tire sponser and spends there own cash they choose bandits. the only reason many of them use razr or holeshots is because they are payed too. bandits ar great tires. but because they are so puncture resistant they are quite heavy.
