Default New tires for my raptor

Tomorrow I'm going to my dealer to buy new handlebar and maybe a new set of rear tires.

I'm considering Maxxis Razr 2 and maybe holeshot H-D.
I'm still on oem tires and I'd like to know your opinion on what tire to buy and if there gonna be a big change over my stok tires

I do mostly gravel and sand .
Thanks

Either with holeshot HD's or Razr2's, you cant go wrong. Both are a great tire.

I would probably go with the Razr2's, but it doesn't really matter. Both tires rock!

Later,

the HDs are more punture resistant but i heard it was heavier than the razrs at 19.5 lbs. i dont think either tires are a good choice for sand but for everything else they are awesome.

I've done it i'd have prdered a pair of razr 2

I know their not supposed to be really good in sand but where I ride the sand is more packed than loose and I dont think they will be as bad has my over used stock tires

How much is your dealer charging per tire? Here in Michigan a couple dealers said they could order the Maxxis Razr2 tires, but they wanted $100 to $115 USD. I got them from Rocky Mountain or Ronnies mail order and got them for about $65 - $70 plus shipping.

You will love the Razr2 tires!

i think that 268 american dollars buddy!!! so minus the .0825 tax it would be 246! isnt that high! cuz 269 divided by .0825 equals 23 bucks soo 269 minus 23 equals 246 or 123 a tire
