I've been having bad luck with my tires.

Last night, i landed sideways off of a jump and popped the tire off the rim.

Then tonight, i was riding down a rocky trail and tore the sidewall out of my tire!

I need something thick! Would bandit XCs be good?

And can i get them in 21x11x8? I can only find 22x11x8.

I was also looking at mudsharks..but Rockymountain only has 21x12x8, would those fit on my rims with no problems? Or would i get a bunch of sidewall flex?

What about front tires? I want something light so i can wheelie good still, i've heard bandits make the front end too heavy..

I don't know about the bandits but I would seriosly consider 20/11/8 razr's in the rear and 22/7/10 razr's in the front I have 20/11/9 razr's on my 250r and love them no side wall flex they are 6 ply though hope thos helps. hey and turn your front wheels inside out to get more widthon ypour front end.

I've heard about the Flipping the front rims out, i am going to do it when i put my new tires in rims on.

How are you razr's holding up? How do they do in mud? I ride in a lot of different conditions, so i need a tire that does it all. I know my blaster isn't going to plow through mud but with holeshots and the tires i have no i get no hook up in mud.!

I was thinking about going for 22 inch tires in the back to get a little more topend.

Just get 20s i have 20x11x8 on my blaster (RaZrs) and there is a bit of side wall flex but im sure that would be solved with 6ply ones. they work great for everything. Bandits are also very good , and really really really strong , thick,heavy rubber. they both work awasome
