i was wondering how good the bandid fronts perform in mud,clay pits,hard pack, soft sugar sand. Also do they hold there line good and not fold under the rim.

 

I can't claim any expertise regarding mud or clay pits (whatever they are, but living in Az I sure do know about hard pack.The Bandit Xc is excellent on hardpack, with little or no understeer or rollover in the corners. I can't speak for the Bandit AT since I've only run the XC & I'm on my 2nd complete set of those. I'm sure the Kevlar band which runs from bead to bead helps a great deal in maintaining rigidity in cornering along with adequate tire pressure. I run 6 psi all around. Since I'm not a duner, I don't see a lot of sand other than the occasional sandy wash, but the tire seems to handle it as well as any I've tried.
Also, all Bandits, AT & XC, are true four plies rather that merely 4 ply rated two plies. I'm sure that combined with the Kevlar liner in the XC makes them somewhat stiffer also.

 

I put Bandit XC's all around my Banshee and really like them. They are like Hot_Shoe_cv said. They don't try to bunch up on hard sharp turns and I gained better control of my quad as well. As for mud they work sweet. Got to keep them clean like any other tire for good traction. Work great on dry clay, can't think of anything to work good on wet clay other than spiked tires. When clay is wet it's like ice. The Bandits hold up better to rocky areas over other tires because they are made out of harder rubber.
