Just rode Pudljumpr's new 450 (he is an X Pred rider\racer) and man do I love it. But for now my Raptor will do just fine. Still a better trail quad, I don't race and he does.

I just plain like those rear knobbies on the 450. Has anyone tried a set on a Raptor yet? Maybe it would help it slide better vs. the stock Raptor rubber?

BTW...I can't believe Honda put the same tires on their 450 as the Raptor and Z400. These tires are no good for racing.....can't wait to see how the two compair.

Stock raptor tires hook excellent in a straight line but the YFZ tires will slide better [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

The rear 450 tires have a good balance between straight-line hook up and sliding ability. I think me and Pudljumpr might trade tires for awhile next time we ride.

Stock Raptor tires sure are good when going straight, wheelies in loose sand are easy, but they don't slide very well.
