Default What kind of tires?

What type and size tires should I Put on my Raptor? I want a tire that slides easier than stock. I ride trails mainly, lots of hills, some sand, and a little mud. I was thinking Razr rears and Razr 2 on front with c-series ITP wheels. The reason I do not want 2s on the rear is because they are more rounded than squared. They look more ballon shaped. Probably back to stock size all around. Let me know what you have or you think.

You are on the same search as I am bigpimpn. I have an 02 Raptor and just bought another pair of rear wheels. I'm looking for a different(better) pair of rear tires as well. I want something a little more aggressive. You sound like you ride the same kinds of things I do, mainly trails, hills, and some sand. We get some snow here in the winter so I want something that is "better then stock" for the snow. I've been racking my brain trying to decide on a tire for a couple weeks now. I wanted the ITP Blackwaters, but saw them tonight at a store and they don't look as good as they do on the net. Thinking possibly Dirt Devils, Swampers, or maybe even ITP XCR's. Those are two different extremes though. I don't know, that is my problem. Let me know what you come up with.

One of the main things that I am looking for is a tire that will slide better. The factory tires seem to roll in hard turns before they slide. I am also coming off of a DS650 that could hang out sideways all day long. I have considered adding lenght and width to my Rappy but then it would hang on trees like my DS.
Thanks
Tracy
