    Need Help which tire?

    Well I blew out the sidewall in my Ohtsu last weekend and want to get a new set for the rear. I ride tough trails usually alot of mud and rock and big hills. What do you guys suggest I get? any help would be great! The 3 tires that ive looked at are Maxxis Razr 6 ply 20x11x9, Holeshot 6 ply 20x11x9 and Bandit 20x10x9.
    Which type would you suggest for my type of riding? Thanks!

    I personally have GBC Dirt Devils 22x11x9 6ply. I think they're awesome all around. Pretty agressive, but they do well on alot of different terrains.

    Yeah im leaning more towards the holeshots but are they
    real good in mud? I was flying up a big rocky hill and a rock
    must have cut it. It was sliced in 2 places At least it was
    the last ride of the day. Dose Holeshot make a 20x10x9 or is the
    closest size 20x11x9?

    I think it is pretty common to slice the side wall on the stock tires because I did the same thing 3 months after I got my 400. I got a set of hole shots and I have not had a problem with them at all. I have had good luck in the mud and hard pack.
    2002 KTM 400 EXC, this bike is awsome!

    Quads I use to own:
    FDO 463ex, Gas Gas 300, Gas Gas 450, Rancher, Yamaha Warrior, ATC Big Red.

    If you can't afford to fix it or replace it, don't ask to ride it!

    I had a set of holeshot xcs 20x11x9 and they worked well never got one flat in 10 months and they held up pretty well tread wise till i got a new set of ohtsus and stuff for the winter and my little grooved turf tamers. i really like the xcs but if ur doin any riding in the winter i highly don't recommend this tires. they are awesome on hard pack dirt, soft dirt, mud anything but snow. i pushed more then rode. if ur doin snow get ohtsus or reltors. the holeshots are a great tire for the summer and puncture resistant.

    holeshots all the way. they r great tires for everything. (track trail mud rock...) they have awsome traction and r real durable. I have 20x11x9 six plys and they seem to be holding up great. Just don't get ripped and pay $85 a piece from dennis kirk! Go to rocky mtn. Save $20 a tire.

    Thumbs up Tires

    I have a pair of 6ply Puresport Bandits on my 400ex. They have been taking alot of punishment with no problems. They are a little on the heavy side. The weight doesn't bother me. I'm gonna get a set of the 6ply Holeshots soon. I had a set of Holeshots a while ago, and they didn't make a full ride that day. They weren't the 6plys. Either way you can't go wrong.

    Thumbs up

    Definitely RAZRS. I have the 21x7x10 up front and 20x11x9 in the rear. They perform great in all conditions. Very versatile.
