This may not be much help but basicly what he is asking for is a good hard compound tire that won't wear down fast but still turn well. I think you would be good with hole shots but I dunno how long it will take to wear down. Hope I helped;)

From what I've heard, shredders last a long time and they are much like holeshots. Holeshots do wear down. I have them and the last ok. Thats regular holshots. Xc's come in 22" front and 20" rears. They just seem to be a little bit meatier (bigger lugs). Holeshot XTCs are bigger, heavier tires. They come w/ 6 ply and 23" fronts and 22" rears. I think you should get shredders or bandits. Both last a real long time, but bandits are kinda heavy.

hey the hole shots have a soft compound and do wear quik like on PAVeMENT. anyways i would buy a set of Grooved radials (or also called roken type.) and put those babies on there. these will serve the purpose the best unless you ride on muddy goey surfaces then you might want to go woth the shredders.
